Cholelithiasis is a pathology that can be confidently diagnosed by sonographic examination. The following case presents sonographic findings consistent with cholelithiasis in a child being treated with the antibiotic Rocephin. A follow-up preoperative sonographic examination of the gallbladder displayed no evidence of cholelithiasis. This is a classic example of Rocephin-induced "biliary pseudolithiasis."

Key Words: gallstones • antibiotic drug • Rocephin • biliary pseudolithiasis
