儿童腹腔脓肿的CT诊断

目的探讨ＣＴ对儿童腹腔脓肿的诊断价值。方法对２３例经手术和穿刺针吸证实的腹腔脓肿的ＣＴ表现进行分析，急性阑尾炎１３例，升结肠穿孔１例，美克尔憩室炎２例，感染源不明确７例。１９例行平扫与增强检查，４例仅平扫检查。结果脓液ＣＴ值与病程及致病菌种类无关，脓液量与病程呈正相关。５２％脓肿内见到气体影，２２％脓肿内见到小钙化斑。病程１周以上者全部见不均匀厚壁强化的脓肿壁。结论脓肿内见到小钙化斑和气体影像具有特征性，脓腔内较大气液平面提示肠瘘存在，脓肿内无气体影不能排除肠瘘。

CT diagnosis of abdominal abscess in children

Purpose To evaluate CT in the diagnosis of abdominal abscess in children. Methods Analysis of CT manifestations in 23 cases proved by operation and needle aspiration. Causes: acute appendicitis 13 cases, ascending colon perforation 1 case, Meckel diverticulitis 2 cases, cause obscured 7 cases. Bolus injection of contrast medium was given in 19 cases. Results The CT value had no relationship to the course of disease and type of bacteria, amount of abscess had positive relevance relative with course of illness. Air fluid level or scattered gas bubbles was seen in abscesses in 52%; little calcified plague was present in 22% . All cases presented nonhomogeneous thick wall enhancement after one week of illness. Conclusion The characteristic CT features of intra abdominal abscess were the presence of air and little calcified plague shadow; a large air fluid level was indicative of fistula, while the abscence of air in the abscess can not exclude fistula.
