Summary

Ultrasound effectively diagnoses childhood intestinal intussusception, reducing X-ray exposure. It also aids in guiding hydrostatic reduction, proving reliable for this common pediatric condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intestinal intussusception is a common surgical emergency in children.
  • Conventional diagnostic methods like irrigography carry risks of radiation exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound in diagnosing intestinal intussusception in pediatric patients.
  • To assess ultrasound's role in guiding therapeutic interventions for intussusception.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 35 children with suspected intussusception.
  • Ultrasound examination for diagnosis and real-time monitoring during hydrostatic reduction.
  • Surgical confirmation for intraluminal lesions.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound accurately diagnosed intussusception in 74% of cases (26/35) with no false positives or negatives.

  • Identified underlying causes in secondary intussusception, including Meckel's diverticula.
  • Successful hydrostatic reduction under ultrasound guidance in 68% of idiopathic cases (15/22).

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound is a reliable and safe diagnostic tool for pediatric intestinal intussusception.
    • Ultrasound is valuable for monitoring hydrostatic reduction and identifying secondary causes.
    • Combined ultrasound and fluoroscopy are recommended for suspected perforation.
