Four ill preterm infants each had a severely dilated gallbladder that was detected as a right-upper-quadrant abdominal mass. In each infant, the diagnosis was suspected on physical examination and confirmed by ultrasound study. One extremely premature infant with respiratory distress syndrome died, and at autopsy, the gallbladder and biliary tree showed no abnormalities, except for severe gallbladder distention. In the other three infants, distention of the gallbladder resolved spontaneously.
四名患病早产儿的胆囊均严重扩张,被检测为右上腹腹部肿块。每名婴儿在体格检查时均怀疑有该诊断,并通过超声检查得以证实。一名患有呼吸窘迫综合征的极早产儿死亡,尸检时,除胆囊严重扩张外,胆囊和胆管未见异常。在其他三名婴儿中,胆囊扩张自行消退。
