Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the reliability of ultrasound in diagnosing appendicitis in children when the appendix is not visible, focusing on indirect signs to rule out the condition.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 1,756 visits for patients aged 3-13 suspected of having acute appendicitis from a pediatric emergency department in Spain over six years.
- The results showed that indirect ultrasound signs, such as the presence of free intra-abdominal fluid, were independently linked to a higher likelihood of appendicitis in cases where the appendix could not be visualized.
