  • Title: Sonography of Abdominal Pain in Children: Appendicitis and Its Common Mimics.
    Author: Sanchez TR, Corwin MT, Davoodian A, Stein-Wexler R.
    Journal: J Ultrasound Med; 2016 Mar; 35(3):627-35. PubMed ID: 26892821.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal pain is very common in the pediatric population (<18 years of age). Sonography is a safe modality that can often differentiate the frequently encountered causes of abdominal pain in children. This pictorial essay will discuss the sonographic findings of acute appendicitis, including the imaging appearance of a perforated appendicitis. It will also present the sonographic features of the relatively common mimics of appendicitis, such as mesenteric adenitis/gastroenteritis, intussusception, Meckel diverticulum, and ovarian torsion.
