Purpose: To assess correlations between stone size/location and severity of secondary signs for ureteral obstruction.
Methods: Unenhanced multi-detector computed tomography examinations of 150 patients with acute renal colic were reviewed. Stone size, location in the ureter, kidney size and Hounsfield unit values, perinephric edema, and degree of hydronephrosis were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of free intraperitoneal fluid in asymptomatic children to determine its incidence, location, and volume.
- It included 200 children aged 6 days to 15 years, finding free fluid in only 12 (6%) of them, always in the pelvis and never exceeding 1 ml.
- The researchers conclude that 1 ml or less of this fluid is likely insignificant in healthy children.
