An update of the newest additions to my website

Dear readers,

Just added a nice case, of pelvic kidney in a neonate at: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ped-abdomen.htm The child had an imperforate anus with suspected recto-uterine fistula. Placed the high resolution ultrasound probe on the pelvis and saw a pelvic kidney, the left kidney not being seen in the left renal fossa. A clear example of renal ectopia! I have added 7 ultrasound images for this case of pelvic kidney at the link above. This page is freshly created and devoted to pediatric abdomen. What was interesting was that the pelvic kidney appeared round or oval in shape, suggestive of some degree of malrotation of the renal axis.

Gall bladder sludge in neonate:

These ultrasound images of a neonatal abdomen show a large amount of dense sludge in the gall bladder. Such sludge formation in neonates is often seen following parenteral nutrition and is usually self resolving.

Visit the page: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/pediatric.htm for ultrasound images of pediatric and neonatal diseases. At present I have added a few cases of neonatal intracranial/ germinal matrix hemorrhage and its complications, notably porencephaly. There is also a nice case of inguinal hernia containing ovary.

A web page of ultrasound images of renal calculi (kidney stones)

Just added some great images of renal calculi (commonly known as kidney stones)..from the usual to the unusual staghorn calculi. Just visit: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/renal-calculi.htm Staghorn calculi or triple phosphate calculi can be silent until they reach phenomenal proportions like this calculus which occupied half of the kidney. Luckily, in the case described at the link above, there was only mild hydronephrosis of the affected kidney.

Multinodular goiter

These ultrasound images of a middle aged female patient reveal: a) multiple solid nodules of varying sizes in both lobes of the thyroid gland b) coarsening of the echotexture of the thyroid gland c) cystic lesions scattered throughout the gland d) diffuse increase in size of the thyroid.

e) color doppler imaging reveals moderate augmentation of the vascularity of the thyroid. These findings suggest multinodular goiter of the thyroid. For more ultrasound images of thyroid pathology, visit: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/thyroid.htm

Cystic lesions of the thyroid

Thyroid cyst with nodule within it:
























Ultrasound images of the thyroid revealed a large cystic lesion with an irregular solid nodule along the margin of the cyst. Doppler imaging shows absence of significant vascularity in the nodule. This means that the nodule may be formed by debris within the cystic mass, typically seen in colloid cysts of the thyroid. For more such interesting ultraound images and case studies of the thyroid, visit: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/thyroid.htm
