Purpose or Case Report: Ultrasound Diagnosis of Perforated Appendicitis in Pediatric Patients. Acute appendicitis is the most common condition requiring emergency surgery in children. In a pediatric setting, it is common for clinicians to request an ultrasound as the imaging modality of choice when there is a clinical concern for appendicitis. Therefore, it is important to differentiate a perforated appendicitis from a nonperforated appendicitis. Treatment of nonperforated appendicitis requires immediate surgical intervention while perforated appendicitis can be managed conservatively. Our purpose is to describe the sonographic appearance of a perforated appendicitis. We will characterize the two main appearances of perforated appendicitis seen on ultrasound. These appearances include: 1.) Visualization of the appendix with loss of the echogenic submucosal layer, the presence of an intraluminal appendicolith, or a large amount of periappendiceal echogenic fat. 2.) Non-visualization of the appendix but the sonographic appearance of an abscess formation can be associated with perforation. Read More

Role of Doppler Ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of a Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Pediatric patient
Final Pr. ID: Poster #: CR-002 (R)
To demonstrate the finding of a Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm on a Left Lower extremity venous and arterial doppler ultrasound and under Interventional Radiology sonographically guided compression of the neck of the Pseudoaneurysm and guided injection of thrombin into the Pseudoaneurysm resulted in successful thrombosis of a Pseudoaneurysm. Follow up ultrasounds to document resolving of a Left Femoral artery Pseudoaneurysm in an infant. Read More
