Fetal gallbladder stone is a rare phenomenon, which is observed by chance during third trimester ultrasonography and does not cause significant clinical symptoms. Even though the etiology of stones found in the fetal period are yet unknown; apnea of prematurity, sepsis, parenteral nutrition, motile diseases, blood group incompatibilities, metabolic diseases and dehydration of newborns are among...

Objective : Herein we report an unusual case of torsed giant cystic Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) in a three-year-old boy, illustrating the rarity this condition and briefly reviewing literature on it. Case Report A boy who clinically presented with severe colicky abdominal pain frequent vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography showed lesion lower abdomen. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed well-defined rig...

iliac fossa with no signs of peritonism. The abdominal film was unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasound showed an iliocolic intussusception (Figure 1). She remained clinically and biochemically nephrotic at this time. She entered the remission phase of nephrotic syndrome between Days 7 and 10 after the initiation of therapy which coincided with the complete resolution of her abdominal pain. Gastroin...

We have developed a new noninvasive method of estimating abdominal fat volume in live rats using ultrasonography. By this method, cross sections of perirenal (retroperitoneal) fat tissue, which is an abdominal fat, at the renal vein level could be identified and the area determined. The perirenal fat in Wistar rats (wide body weight range, 111.4 to 497.3 g; limited range, 300.1 to 337.9 g) meas...

A case of solitary hepatic abscess in an apparently normal 5-year old infant is described. The symptoms in this patient were generally nonspecific and the child were erroneously operated with a presumptive diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Subsequently, because of persistence of isolated abdominal signs, abdominal ultrasonography were performed, and an abscess of the right hepatic lobe was evide...

Stone-containing urachal cysts are extremely rare in adults. Here, we report the case of a 58-year-old man with a urachal cyst who had lower abdominal pain and urinary frequency. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed hyperdense stones in the urachus. He was treated with a laparoscopic excision using a transperitoneal approach. The pathological diagnosis was an inflammed urach...

CONTEXT When assessing the bilio-pancreatic region, collating the findings of serum CA 19-9 values together with findings from various imaging tests--especially endoscopic ultrasonography--is not a simple issue in daily clinical practice. AIM To assess the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography in an Endoscopic Ultrasonography Unit in two situations: patients with asymptomatic elevation of ...

BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by various upper abdominal symptoms. The major mechanism of FD symptoms includes impaired fundic accommodation, delayed gastric emptying, and visceral hypersensitivity. We developed a novel drinking-ultrasonography test to combine a drink test with ultrasonography to assess gastric motility and sensory function of FD ...
