Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Acute abdomen is a medical emergency, in which there is sudden and severe pain in abdomen of recent onset with accompanying signs and symptoms that focus on an abdominal involvement. It can represent a wide spectrum of conditions, ranging from a benign and self-limiting disease to a surgical emergency. The aim of our study is to evaluate the acute abdomen in children of less than 12 years by ultrasonography. During the study of 1 year we had examined 60 cases of acute abdomen coming to the department of Radiodiagnosis. The USG findings were correlated with final diagnosis made by operative method or by doing follow-up of the patient. Among these patients USG could give the proper diagnosis in 71% cases of appendicitis, 66% cases of Cholecystitis, 66% cases of pancreatitis, 50% cases of hollow-viscus perforation & 100% cases of renal calculus. Ultrasonography is a good modality for investigation of children as it is easily available, cost-effective & can be done in bed side & above all it has no radiation hazard
