    Abdominal imaging·2001

    Fluid-aided ultrasound (US) effectively diagnosed duodenal abnormalities in infants with vomiting. This imaging technique demonstrated high accuracy in identifying conditions like obstruction and malrotation, aiding in treatment decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Neonatal Surgery

    Background:

    • Vomiting in infants can indicate serious duodenal abnormalities.
    • Accurate and early diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Traditional imaging methods may have limitations in evaluating complex duodenal anatomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic performance of fluid-aided ultrasound (US) for duodenal abnormalities in infants presenting with vomiting.
    • To assess the sensitivity and specificity of US in detecting various duodenal conditions.
    • To determine the utility of US as an initial triage tool for neonates and young infants with vomiting.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 261 infants with vomiting underwent fluid-aided ultrasound examinations.

  • Ultrasound focused on visualizing the stomach and duodenum, assessing rotation and anatomy.
  • Diagnosed abnormalities included duodenal obstruction, malrotation (with/without volvulus), incomplete rotation, and stenosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven duodenal abnormalities were diagnosed using fluid-aided US.
    • The technique achieved an overall sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 99% for duodenal abnormalities.
    • Fluid-aided US provided a dynamic view, aiding in the differentiation of anatomical variations and pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluid-aided ultrasound is a highly sensitive and specific imaging modality for diagnosing duodenal abnormalities in infants with vomiting.
    • It serves as an effective initial diagnostic tool, enabling appropriate triage for further management, including surgery or additional imaging.
    • The dynamic visualization offered by US improves the assessment of duodenal rotation and anatomy in neonates and young infants.
