Popis: Choleithiasis is very rare in neonates. Children with Downs syndrome are at an increased risk of developing lithiasis.There are very few reports of cholelithiasis in infants with Down’s syndrome but none in neonates. Here we report a case of Down’s syndrome presenting with cholelithiasis in the neonatal period. We highlight the fact that these children should be monitored for cholethithiasis.
