Cholelithiasis on Imaging – An Analysis of Clinical Presentations by Age and Gender in a Jamaican Population

Issue:

Vol 58, issue 4 (2009)

Pages:

375–8

Synopsis:

The clinical presentations which led to the diagnosis of cholelithiasis were different in males compared to females. Females were more likely to be diagnosed in the setting of an acute abdomen, while males presented with non-acute symptoms unrelated to the biliary tract.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study is a descriptive analysis of the clinical presentations in which cholelithiasis was diagnosed on imaging over a five-year period at the University Hospital of the West Indies, Jamaica and how the clinical presentation varied with age and gender.
