Zusammenfassung:The term biliary dyskinesia commonly describes a motility disorder of the biliary tract that is divided into two main categories: gallbladder dyskinesia (GBD) and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD). SOD is further subdivided into biliary SOD and pancreatic SOD. GBD causes typical biliary colic without gallstones, whereas SOD typically presents with recurrent pancreatitis or chronic abdominal pain, usually after cholecystectomy. GBD and SOD are uncommon in children. Based on adult experience, this review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of GBD and SOD in the pediatric population.
