Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan Reported herein are two cholelithiasis-afflicted infants with a common inability to tolerate enteral feeding necessitating parenteral nutrition. One of the infants received parenteral nutrition for 5 months because of intestinal dysfunction and enterocolitis secondary to extensive aganglionosis, while the second child was premature and placed on parenteral nutrition because of bowel dysfunction after surgery to repair high jejunal atresia and a right diaphragmatic hernia. The relationship between parenteral nutrition and cholelithiasis is discussed. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 8:568-570,1984)
