Abstract
We report a 3-month-old boy with gallbladder sludge formation and lithiasis. The known associated factors causing cholelithiasis in infancy were not present. We postulate that maternal chronic use of morphine during pregnancy may result in biliary sludge formation in utero in the fetus with progression and manifestation of cholelithiasis at 3-months of age.
