Abstract
This case represents a unique finding in neonates, of which there have been few reported cases. A 14 day old male presents with 10 days of vomiting and a right upper quadrant mass. Multiple imaging was performed, including abdominal ultrasounds, HIDA scan, MRCP, and eventually intra-operative cholangiogram with cholecystectomy. The patient was found to have acalculous cholecystitis and hydropic gallbladder. This case is important because recognition of this diagnosis in the neonatal is imperative due to increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Clinicians need to be aware how to appropriately diagnose and treat this uncommon disease.
