  • Ultrasound signs of acute appendicitis in children - clinical application
    Vegar-Zubović, Sandra ...
    Background. Acute appendicitis is a leading cause of the abdominal pain in children that need an urgent surgical treatment. Neither of individually clinical variables doesn't have a real ... discriminational nor predictive strength to be used as the only diagnostic test. Agoal of this study is to define ultrasound criterta of the acute appendicitis by appointing of ultrasound parameters for this pathological condition, determine the relation between ultrasound signs and pathohistological finding, determine the connection of several ultrasound signs with a degree of the inflammation of the acute appendicitis. Methods. In the prospective study with an ultrasound method we examine 50 patients with clinical signs of the acute abdomen. In these patients, the sonographic diagnosis is confirmed by the surgical finding, in factwith a pathohistological diagnosis. A basic, positive sonograph finding of the acute appendicitis was the identification of tubular,noncompresive, aperistaltic bowel which demonstrates a connection withcoecum and blind terminal. In our work we analysed the lasting of the symptoms until the hospital intervention in patients stratified according to the pathohistological finding. We used ultrasound equipment- Toshiba Sonolayerwith convex 3.75 MHz and linear 8 MHz probes. Results. From 8 ultrasound signs of the acute appendicitis, only an anterior-posterior (AP) diameter of appendices, FAT (width of periappendicular fat tissue) and a peristaltic absence are positive ultrasound signs of the acute appendicitis. Appendicitis phlegmonosa is the most common pathohistological finding in our study (44%). Perforate gangrenous appendicitis and gangrenous appendicitis arerepresented in more than half of patients (30% + 22%), which suggests a long period of persisting symptoms until a hospital treatment.
