Abstract:
Objective To observe the ultrasonic manifestations and age distribution of internal abdominal hernia in children.Methods Data of 53 children with internal abdominal hernia confirmed by operation were retrospectively analyzed.The ultrasonic findings were observed,and the age distribution of children was analyzed.Results Among 53 cases,"cross sign"was observed in 22 cases(22/53,41.51％),and"hernia ring beak sign"was detected in 26 cases(26/53,49.06％)by preoperative ultrasound,according to which 21 cases were diagnosed as internal abdominal hernia,with the accuracy of 39.62％(21/53).Meanwhile,manifestations of intestinal obstruction were noticed in 48 cases(48/53,90.57％),and intestinal necrosis was considered in 22 cases(22/53,41.51％).Four cases were misdiagnosed as intestinal perforation,appendicitis,intestinal atresia and volvulus,each in 1 case.The onset age of postoperative adhesive band internal hernia was larger than that of mesenteric hiatal hernia(P＜0.05),while no significant difference of onset age was found among other types of internal abdominal hernias(all P＞0.05).Intestinal ischemic necrosis was found in 25 cases,while the incidence of intestinal necrosis in children aged ≤1 year,＞1 and ≤3 years,＞3 and ≤7 years and those＞7 years was 66.67％(12/18),33.33％(4/12),36.36％(4/11)and 41.67％(5/12),respectively.Conclusion The characteristic ultrasonic findings of internal abdominal hernia in children included"cross sign"and"hernia ring beak sign".Internal abdominal hernia in children under 1 year had high risk of intestinal necrosis.
