Ultrasonic evaluation of complicated meningitis.

Sixty children of proven meningitis and with clinical suspicion of its complications and open fontanelle were evaluated by real time ultrasound. Twenty of these patients had normal ultrasound findings while 40 showed varied sonographic features suggesting complications of meningitis, e.g., ventricular dilatation, pus in the ventricles, increased periventricular echogenicity, brain abscess, subdural effusion, porencephalic cysts, etc. Ultrasound is very useful in the diagnosis and serial follow up of these complications.

Sonographic evaluation of gall bladder in acute viral hepatitis.

Twenty children of acute viral hepatitis were subjected to ultrasound of gall bladder in acute and recovery phase. Increased wall thickness, reduced volume and abnormal echo-texture of gall bladder contents were the findings in the acute phase. A normal ultrasound of gall bladder was restored in most of the patients within 2-4 weeks.

Renal stone presenting as an abdominal lump.

We report a case of bilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction associated with bilateral stones, one of which was large. An Anderson-Hynes operation was performed on both sides, the stones were removed and the patient became asymptomatic. To our knowledge the stone in our case is the largest and heaviest ever to be described in the literature.
