Litíase biliar neonatal: revisão de literatura

Abstract

This work aims to review the literature on neonatal gallstones, describing its main risk factors and the approach in this age group. To achieve this objective, a bibliographic survey was carried out on gallstones in children and in the neonatal period. This theme was proposed after highlighting the scarcity of literary data on this subject. Early diagnosis and adequate clinical follow-up of neonatal gallstones allow a better understanding of the subject, favoring an adequate approach to this condition. For better management of cases, knowledge about risk factors and follow-up is essential in order to avoid complications for patients.
