Neuropediatrics. 1995 Feb;26(1):55-6. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-979721.

Abstract

In this case report we describe the coincidental finding of polyps in the gallbladder by ultrasound investigation in a six-year-old girl, known to have metachromatic leukodystrophy. The investigation was carried out because of suspicion of abdominal trauma after falling down the stairs and finding elevated serum amylase.
