Abstract
An overview of the data on features of ultrasound examination of the gallbladder with various forms of pathology in children is presented. We examined 650 conditionally healthy children and 840 children with diseases of the abdominal cavity organs, cardiovascular system, and some infectious diseases. The diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall was established to be the possible result of a wide range of pathological conditions, both of surgical and non-surgical origin. It is shown that sometimes it is necessary to conduct frequent dynamic studies, especially in cases where the primary disease of the gallbladder cannot be ruled out. As a rule, the recognition of the cause of the response of the gallbladder wall and its exclusion as a result of appropriate treatment leads to a normalization of the morphology and function of the gallbladder.
