- Ultrasound is the preferred method for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in infants, but measurement techniques for the pylorus are inconsistent due to advances in high-frequency transducers.* -
- A study analyzed ultrasound images from 300 infants, comparing two methods of measuring pyloric muscle thickness, with one method focusing only on the muscularis propria, which showed higher accuracy and sensitivity in diagnosis.* -
- Results indicated that the muscularis propria was thicker in HPS cases (median of 4.8 mm) compared to normal cases (median of 2.4 mm), and the specific method measuring just this layer had superior diagnostic performance.*
Background: We have recently noted some sonographic features in necrotizing enterocolitis that have received little or no attention in the current literature. These include thickening of the mesentery, hyperechogenicity of intraluminal intestinal contents, abnormalities of the abdominal wall, and poor definition of the intestinal wall. It has been our impression that the above four sonographic findings are generally seen in neonates with more severe necrotizing enterocolitis and may be useful in predicting outcome.
