The ultrasonographic findings on Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are demonstrated on two cases. As a non-invasive method the digitalized computered sonography may give the opportunity to detect even small polyps. The sensitivity of this method is comparable with the MRI and gives new perspectives in the follow up of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
BACKGROUND: Sonographic screening helps to discover pathological findings in asymptomatic patients. In these cases the decision about diagnostic and therapeutic consequences is difficult. CASE REPORT: We describe a girl with a congenital small solitary hepatic cyst with rapidly increasing size after the second year, which was interventionally sclerosed at the age of five years. CONCLUSION: Even in cases of small cysts long term follow up investigations are necessary, because the growth rate of the cyst can change.
The determination of organ size is another important criterium in ultrasound examination. There are only few investigations in the neonatal group. Therefore in a prospective study the abdominal organs of 85 neonates were examined with a 7.5 MHz small part scanner. These organs were measured in standardized sections in order to establish normal values]
