Abstract:
Objective To investigate the CT features of hepatic echinococcosis in children.Methods Clinical and CT data of 27 cases with hepatic echinococcosis confirmed by pathology and/or serology were retrospectively analyzed.Results Totally there were 26 cases of cystic echinococcosis and 1 case of alveolar echinococcosis.Ten cases were with simple hepatic echinococcosis and 17 cases with other organic echinococcosis,18 cases of intrahepatic single hydatid and 9 cases of intrahepatic multiple hydatid.A total of 1 alveolar lesion and 47 cystic lesions were found,including unilocular cyst accounted for 51.06％ (24/47),cysts with collapse of the internal capsule accounted for 42.55％ (20/47),cysts with wall calcification accounted for 4.26％ (2/47) and multiple cysts accounted for 2.13％ (1/47).There was no solid lesions.The cyst diameters which were larger than 5 cm accounted for 74.47％ (35/47).Conclusion The CT can qualitatively diagnose hepatic echinococcosis in children.It is a reliable method of examination.
