The Right

Acute or recurrent pain in the right upper part of the abdomen is a common cause for visits to physicians. Not less than two thirds of episodes of pain in this area are conditioned by biliary colic and acute cholecystitis. Other most common causes include diseases of the liver, pancreas, prepyloric and pyloric parts of the stomach and the beginning portion of the small intestine, the right kidney, and also subhepatic appendicitis. Some cases of developing pain are associated with the right lung affection and involvement of the diaphragmatic pleura, with heart diseases, involvement of the locomotor system and nerves. Taking into account a high prevalence of cholelithiasis in Russia – around 10–12% – we can conclude that episodes of biliary colic develop every year in 1 of 500–1000 individuals. In Russia, approximately half a million cholecystectomies are performed annually. The prevalence of gall stones among the paediatric population amounts to 2%. As distinct from adults, who in 80% of cases have an asymptomatic course of disease, pain episodes in children manifest themselves in 60–67% of cases. The diiagnosis of acute cholecystitis might meet with considerable difficulties; a scale for assessment of the likelihood of acute cholecystitis has been developed. Unlike in adults, in children a significantly large proportion of cases occur due to acalculous cholecystitis. Differentiating the causes of pain might be difficult, therefore, its character and concomitant symptoms should be thoroughly analysed, and the findings of additional examinations should also be taken into consideration (at the first step – assessment of haematological and biochemical parameters, urinalysis, electrocardiogram and abdominal ultrasonography). Key words: right upper abdominal pain, biliary colic, biliary dyskinesia, cholelithiasis

Underlying Diseases

Gallbladder diseases are uncommon in children. Acalculous acute cholecystitis, although rare, is the most frequent form of acute cholecystitis in childhood. In acalculous acute cholecystitis, clinical presentation and laboratory findings are unspecific, making the diagnosis challenging. Abdominal ultrasonography is the first-line exam. Most cases of paediatric acalculous acute cholecystitis have been described in critically ill patients, but can occur in previously healthy children, without underlying diseases or severe conditions. The authors present a clinical report of a child with acalculous acute cholecystitis and enteroviral infection. Diagnosis, treatment, clinical course and prognosis are described. Pathophysiology, aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of acalculous acute cholecystitis are also discussed.
