Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma: sonography and MRI findings.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is characterized by a group of clinical abnormalities, the most frequent of which are omphalocele, macroglossia, gigantism, neonatal hypoglycemia and umbilical hernia. The association of this syndrome with malignant tumors is well documented. We report a child with this syndrome associated with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma.

Color Doppler sonography of normal and torsed testicular appendages in children.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine the size and appearance of normal and torsed testicular appendages on color Doppler sonography.

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-three patients with acute scrotal pain underwent gray-scale and color Doppler sonography and subsequent surgery. Twenty-two patients had torsion of the appendix testis, six had epididymitis, three had torsion of the testis, and two had torsion of the appendix epididymidis.

Omental infarction in children: color Doppler sonography correlated with surgery and pathology findings.

Objective: The objective of our report is to describe color Doppler sonography findings of omental infarction and correlate them with surgical and pathology findings. Ten children underwent preoperative gray-scale and color Doppler sonographic examinations; omental infarction was confirmed at surgery.

Conclusion: Color Doppler sonography findings were reviewed and correlated with surgical and pathology findings.

Sonographic findings of Meckel's diverticulitis in children.

Objective: We know of only one previous study that has described the sonographic appearances of the inflamed Meckel's diverticulum in several cases (nine patients). Our study reviews sonographic, clinical, and pathologic findings in 10 patients with an inflamed Meckel's diverticulum. We also describe unique findings on color Doppler sonography for two of our patients.
