Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography for the diagnosis of appendicitis in children. During a 7-year period, 181 children who had been clinically diagnosed as having appendicitis were evaluated using ultrasonography. Of the 181 patients, 151 underwent an appendectomy. The ultrasonography diagnosis was correlated with the postoperative histopathological findings. Overall, 149 of the 151 patients who underwent an appendectomy exhibited histopathologically confirmed acute or perforated appendicitis. Of the 151 patient, two patients did not undergo an appendecto-my. Preoperative ultrasonography is very useful for the correct diagnosis of appendicitis in children.
