ABSTRACT

Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in childhood. Gallbladder hydrops is an uncommon manifestation of this disease, found rarely in infants. We report the case of Kawasaki disease in a 9-month-old boy with cardiac involvement and abdominal distention related to gallbladder hydrops which was diagnosed by ultrasonography and resolved spontaneously during follow-up.
