Ultrasonic demonstration of porto-caval anastomosis in portal hypertension in children.

Seventy-one children with portal hypertension and a portocaval anastomosis were studied by ultrasound. The patency of the shunt may be inferred when it directly visualised. There are four indirect signs of patency: (1) decrease of the thickness of the lesser omentum; (2) decrease of the gastro-oesophageal collaterals; (3) decrease of the portal vein size; and (4) increase of the diameter of the inferior vena cava, as compared to pre-operative ultrasound.

Ultrasonic demonstration of appendicolith.

We report three patients with appendicitis in whom the diagnosis was difficult to establish. Ultrasonography helped in the management of these patients. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the detection of appendicolith by ultrasonography.

The changing aspects of cholelithiasis in children through a sonographic study.

Ultrasonography has made the study of the biliary tract easier. This may account for an apparent increase in the incidence of cholelithiasis in children. Twenty-nine cases of biliary stones, mostly gallstones, were seen in a 3 year period. More than half of the cases were secondary to a definite cause, among which the interruption of the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts should be emphasized. The etiological factors of biliary stones and biliary sludge appeared identical in our material.
