Sonographic findings in infants with suspected necrotizing enterocolitis.
European Journal of Radiology 1992 September
During a three-year period, 27 infants with clinical signs of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) underwent ultrasonography; 22 of these infants also had abdominal radiographs within a few hours. Sonographically, portal venous gas (PVG) was seen in 10 and intestinal pneumatosis without PVG in 8 infants. Six children underwent laparotomy within 24 hours after ultrasonography and showed evidence of recent NEC. Three other children, laparotomized weeks later were found to have intestinal strictures as signs of previous NEC. None of the patients died from NEC. Nine infants without abnormal gas distribution did not develop overt NEC. With respect to PVG, sonography is able to support the tentative diagnosis of NEC prior to radiography. However, absence of PVG does not exclude NEC.
