Abstract:
As a critical bowel disease in neonates and preterm births, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is hard to diagnose and treat in time, leaving bad outcomes.With the development of perinatal medicine, the survival rate of premature infants has gradually increased.NEC has become a major digestive system disease that seriously affects the morbidity and compromised life quality of premature infants.Abdominal ultrasound examination has been widely used in the early diagnosis, treatment guidance and outcome assessment of NEC.It is non-invasive and in real time, with high sensitivity and specificity.This review summarizes recent progress on the application of abdominal sonography in the prediction, diagnosis, assessment and treatment guidance of NEC.
