This was a case of neonatal meconium peritonitis. The images show ascites with meconium plugs within the distended and obstructed loops of small bowel. The bowel walls appear edematous. Multiple adhesions are present within the ascitic fluid. See: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ped-abdomen.htm#Meconium_peritonitis Joe. |

In Response to Re: New quiz- neonatal abdomen- Sept 2011: From Twitter ... ffolliet : @ Alexwintermute @ doc2doc @ DrDLittle @ PaedsSHO why an ultrasound? Plain axr better with diagnostic/ therapeutic contrast enema better Posted by Sabreena Xray has limitations- the risk of radiation in a baby cannot be underestimated. The newer ultrasound machines have fantastic resolution, and even the ability to pick up bowel pathology. You can't see the liver and kidneys in an x-ray study. You can even measure bowel wall thickness in sonography.. cant do that in an X-ray. Joe A. |
