[Hydrocholecystis, unrecognized cause of painful abdominal crises in patients with sickle cell anemia]. 1985

S Cabrol, and F Desjardin, and S Baruchel, and P Bégué, and M D Cordier, and G Lasfargues

The first case of painful abdominal crisis caused by hydrops of the gallbladder during sickle cell disease is reported. The cholecystosonography allowed diagnosis and supervision in a 4 year-old black boy with sickle cell anemia. The persistence of hydrops led to cholecystectomy. Pathophysiology is discussed according to the other etiologies reported in the literature.
