Use of abdominal and pelvic ultrasound in the evaluation of chronic abdominal pain.

Abstract:

:The value of sonography in assessing chronic abdominal pain (CAP) in children, the characteristics of CAP, and the local pediatrician's practice in evaluating CAP are reported. Fifty-seven patients with CAP had abdominal and/or pelvic sonography; 56 were normal. One sonogram showed an ovarian cyst on the side opposite the CAP; the cyst later resolved. Pain was usually localized in the periumbilical area (56%). Follow-up data were obtained from referring physicians and patients' medical records. No serious diagnosis related to CAP was missed. After six months, CAP had resolved in 43% of patients. Of the responding physicians, 61% indicated they would have used more and costlier contrast studies if ultrasonography had been unavailable.
