Purpose:
The aim of this study was to compare the size and echotexture of the liver in psoriatic and healthy children.
Methods:
In 70 psoriatic and 43 healthy children, longitudinal sonograms of the liver were obtained along standardized section planes defined by the anterior axillary line, medioclavicular line, and midline. The livers' size and echotexture were examined and compared between the study groups.
Results:
The measurements of the liver along the 3 section planes were not significantly different between psoriatic and healthy children. Parenchymal liver echogenicity in psoriatic children was neither decreased nor increased.
Conclusions:
No abnormality in size or echotexture of the liver was found in the psoriatic children.
