Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Renal ectopy is a rare condition in small animals, characterized by abnormal positioning of one or both kidneys. It is classified as simple or crossed and, according to its localization, being diagnosed in an incidental way in pets because of its nonspecific and many times asymptomatic clinical presentation. Imaging exams such as ultrasound, radiography, and excretory urography may close the diagnosis. This paper reports a case of simple, unilateral, renal ectopy, in a three-year-old male Lhasa Apso dog, with no clinical or laboratory findings consistent with renal disease, in which the ectopic condition, together with shape, rotation, and vascular abnormalities, were incidental findings during abdominal ultrasound examination.

Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is a rare entity that can present in a variety of clinical syndrome. The prevalence is 0.2- 0.4 % among appendicectomies.1 A 48 Years old male patient came to our Centre for Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound (CNMU), Rajshahi for abdominal ultrasound examination. He had pain with vomiting and feeling of lumpiness in right side of lower abdomen. Ultrasonography (US) showed an elongated regular outlined semi-cystic lesion in right iliac fossa. Laparotomy done, per-operative finding reveled AM. Post-operatively histopathological examination report revealed AM. TAJ 2011; 24(1): 54-56

Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Objectives Morphologic anomalies of the feline gallbladder (GB) have been previously reported in the literature. These morphologic variants are frequently encountered on routine abdominal ultrasound examination. The aim of this study was to provide an ultrasonographic classification system of these variants and document the overall incidence in the feline population. Methods A prospective, descriptive study was undertaken; cats that had an abdominal ultrasound examination that included at least one sagittal and transverse plane image of the GB were included. GB shape was evaluated and categorized based on a classification scheme of morphologic variants modified from the human literature. Septated (S), bilobed (B1, B2, B3), duplex (D) and complex (C) categories were described. Results Of 516 cats included in the study, 389 had normal GB morphology, while 127 had anomalous GB morphology. The overall incidence rate of anomalous GB morphology was 24.61%. When examined by morphologic type, the septated (S) morphology had an incidence of 9.69%. A bilobed (B) morphology was the most commonly observed classification; incidence was 14.35% within our population; incidence of B1, B2 and B3 subtypes were 2.91%, 6.98% and 4.46%, respectively. Duplex GBs only made up 0.39% of the total population. The incidence of complex (C) morphologies was 0.19%. Conclusions and relevance The incidence of GB morphologic anomalies was higher in our population than previously reported. Identification of these anomalies on routine ultrasound evaluation is common; numerous different morphologies can be identified and a standardized classification scheme is proposed. Complete evaluation of morphology can be challenging, particularly with regard to cystic duct anatomy. Clinical significance is uncertain and future studies are warranted to determine the relationship between morphologic variants and hepatobiliary disease.

This paper describes a prospective three-year study using abdominal ultrasound examination in 114 new CAPD patients. Gallbladder disease was common (22.8%) and four of 16 patients with gallstones (25%) required cholecystectomy after 1–14 (i 7.8 months) on CAPD. Two of these four had evidence of peritonitis in association with cholecystitis. Also we analyzed the clinical course of eight patients on chronic PD who underwent cholecystectomy. They had no serious morbidity, and all returned to chronic PD. While abdominal pain is one of the main features of CAPD-related peritonitis, other causes of abdominal pain may be more difficult to evaluate in the patient on peritoneal dialysis (PD); such causes potentially are more serious because they threaten the continuance of PD as a mode of therapy. Cholecystitis related to cholelithiasis is one such possible cause of abdominal pain. However, since ultrasonography can reliably and non-invasively detect the presence of gallstones, we have used it prospectively to screen patients entering our CAPD training program. This paper reports our findings and the subsequent course of those found to have gallstones during a three-year period. In addition we also reviewed the feasibility of cholecystectomy, its hazards and outcome in eight patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis who underwent this procedure at Toronto Western Hospital in the past seven years.

Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Abdominal ultrasound examination in an 11-year-old, intact, female Labrador dog with hepatic disease revealed a nodular swelling of the left adrenal gland. Hyperadrenocorticism was suspected, but endocrine tests were negative. At the owner's request, an adrenalectomy was performed. Grossly, a nodular mass protruded from the external surface of the left adrenal gland and in cut section was hemorrhagic and effaced the cortical and medullary regions. Histologic examination revealed a cortical neoplasm with medullary involvement. The mass was composed of well-differentiated adipose cells, megakaryocytes, hematopoietic cells, and macrophages containing hemosiderin deposits. A diagnosis of cortical adrenal myelolipoma was made.

A 31-year-old female was in the 13th week of pregnancy when an abdominal ultrasound examination revealed a large retroperitoneal tumour. Magnetic resonance imaging was carried out and the imaging described a 10-cm mass in diameter extending from the right kidney. Given that the patient was in her first trimester and that there was a suspicion of malignancy, further surgical exploration of the tumour was warranted. During the operation, the tumour was removed, but nephrectomy was not necessary. Histologic analysis of the resected tumour showed a mucinous cystic adenoma, and no signs of malignancy were present. Following the surgery, the pregnancy was otherwise uneventful and further complications did not occur. This case illustrates that surgery is recommended in patients with a retroperitoneal tumour early during a pregnancy, when a malignancy cannot be excluded.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Although studies have demonstrated increased frequency of gallbladder abnormalities among Down’s syndrome (DS) patients in some countries, there is only one paper on this subject in the Brazilian literature. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the prevalence, clinical characteristics and evolution of lithiasis and biliary sludge among DS patients in a maternity and children’s hospital in Rio de Janeiro. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a cross-sectional study followed by a retrospective cohort study on all individuals with an ultrasound diagnosis of gallbladder abnormalities. METHODS: 547 DS patients (53.2% male, 46.8% female) attending the Instituto Fernandes Figueira in 2001 underwent abdominal ultrasound examination at ages of between one day and three years (mean: five months). Clinical and ultrasound data were analyzed. RESULTS: In 50 patients (9.1%), the ultrasound demonstrated gallbladder abnormalities (6.9% lithiasis and 2.1% biliary sludge). Spontaneous resolution was observed in 66.7% of the patients with biliary sludge and 28.9% with lithiasis. Cholecystectomy was carried out on 26.3% of the patients with gallstones. CONCLUSION: The results from this study and comparison with the literature suggest that DS patients are at risk of developing lithiasis and biliary sludge and should be monitored throughout the neonatal period, even if there are no known risk factors for gallstone formation. Most frequently, these gallbladder abnormalities occur without symptoms and spontaneously resolve in most non-symptomatic patients. DS patients should be monitored with serial abdominal ultrasound, and cholecystectomy is indicated for symptomatic cases or when cholecystitis is present.
