Only four cases of fetal gallstones have been reported previously, which implies that this condition is rare. Gallstones in children have been reported more frequently, and it may be that some of these are present in fetal life. Over a 12 month period in this department, seven cases of gallstones or sludge were seen within the fetal gallbladder. The variable appearances of fetal cholelithiasis are described and the possible causes discussed. Fetal gallstones may not be as rare as indicated by the paucity of cases in the literature.
此前仅报道过4例胎儿胆结石病例，这表明这种情况很罕见。儿童胆结石的报道更为常见，其中一些可能在胎儿期就已存在。在本科室为期12个月的时间里，在胎儿胆囊内发现了7例胆结石或胆泥病例。本文描述了胎儿胆石症的多样表现，并讨论了可能的病因。胎儿胆结石可能并不像文献中病例稀少所显示的那样罕见。
