Abstract:
Objective To study the sonograms of tuberculous peritonitis and improve the diagnostic accuracy of this disease.Methods We retrispectively analyzed 138 cases of tuberculous peritonitis diagnosed by ultrasonically guided biopsy,postoperative pathology,and clinical manifestation.The characteristics of the sonograms were analyzed,including the amount and character of ascites,the changes in greater omentum,peritoneum,and mesenterium.the enlarged celiac lymph nodes,and the organ involvement.Results The sonograms of tuberculous peritonitis were characterized by thickening of greater omentum with different degrees of ascites,which usually presented cerebral fissure sign under high-frequency ultrasound,together with aggregation of intestines,thickening of peritoneum,enlarged celiac lymph nodes,hepatomegaly,splenomegaly,and pleural effusion.Conclusion Ultrasonography is of great clinical significance in the diagnosis of tuberculous peritonitis and the guidance of greater omentum biopsy.
