“…In the majority of cases, US is an optimal diagnostic tool in the initial evaluation of children with non-traumatic acute abdominal pain and can provide specific diagnoses, whereas in others valuable supplemental information can be obtained by computer tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging [17]. Even when the underlying pathology is not identified, US will show indirect signs that indicate the need for a surgical exploration or further investigations [1,10,14,15].…”

The purpose of this article is to review ultrasonographic appearance of the most common causes of nontraumatic acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients and to understand the applications and limitations of this technique giving a practical approach showing different clinical cases. A pictorial review of cases was made presenting the most common causes of neonatal and pediatric non-traumatic acute abdominal pain; sonographic features are discussed. Ultrasound in conjunction with Color Doppler imaging is a valuable tool in the evaluation of neonatal and pediatric nontraumatic acute abdominal pain; causes of acute abdomen in children could vary depending on the ages of the children. Keywords Paediatric abdominal pain Á Ultrasound Á Appendicitis Á Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis Á Intestinal intussusceptionRiassunto Lo scopo di questo articolo è stato di revisionare le caratteristiche ecografiche delle più comuni cause di dolore addominale in pazienti pediatrici, per comprendere le applicazioni ed i limiti di questa tecnica con un approccio pratico, presentando diversi casi clinici. Abbiamo revisionato i reperti ecografici delle più comuni cause di dolore addominale acuto pediatrico e neonatale non traumatico, infatti l'ecografia integrata dall'esame Color Doppler è uno strumento importante nella individuazione delle cause, che possono variare in base all'età dei pazienti.

“…Management depends on the size and presence of complications, US is crucial to make a correct diagnosis and to establish the best approach. In our institution, surgical treatment is indicated in presence of complex lesions or cysts measuring more than 5 cm, in diameter to avoid future complications [3,7,15].…”

Objective To assess long-term outcomes of children who had ovarian cysts diagnosed prenatally. MethodsWe reviewed prenatal records of fetuses diagnosed with ovarian cysts in our ultrasound unit children were invited to our institute for transabdominal pelvic sonographic re-examination. Demonstration of the uterus and adnexa was required.Results Twenty-one children were diagnosed prenatally with either simple (n = 11) or complex (n = 12) ovarian cysts and treated by either conservative management (n = 13) or surgical intervention (n = 10) postnatally. The ipsilateral ovary was not detected in 8 of 11 children in whom a complex cyst had been detected on the first postnatal scan. Significantly higher rate of ovarian loss was diagnosed when the sonographic appearance of the ovarian cyst was simple on the prenatal scan and complex on the postnatal scan (six of seven) compared with when the ovarian cyst was simple on both scans (one of four, P = 0.04). ConclusionPrenatal detection of complex ovarian cyst might indicate close monitoring in order to alert the need for early intervention for preventing impending ovarian loss. Further researches are needed to empower this study.

Foetal and neonatal ovarian cysts: a 5-year experience

Abstract: Abdominal ultrasound and finally laparoscopy used to treat and remove the cysts were useful to monitor all simple abdominal cysts. MRI seemed not to be useful for the treatment of this condition, especially in the pediatric age when mild sedation is required.
