Ultrasound findings in early congenital syphilis: Two case reports and literature review
Syphilis is caused by treponema pallidum. If untreated, or inadequately treated, during pregnancy, it can result in congenital syphilis (CS), which is classified as early and late. Early CS displays before 2 years of age. We herein describe 2 cases of early CS, whose clinical onset included liver failure, edema, organomegaly, and respiratory distress. We focus on liver, intestinal, and brain ultrasound (US) and other peculiar radiological findings. To date, there are no scientific data on intestinal and brain US findings in patients with early CS whereas data on abdominal US are scarce. Increasing knowledge about US findings in early CS could be useful to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these patients
The pediatric gastrointestinal tract. ultrasound findings in acute diseases
The study of the gastrointestinal tract by imaging, particularly using ultrasound, is a required instrument for diagnosis of acute and chronic gastrointestinal pathologies in pediatric age. Actually, ultrasound plays an increasing role in the evaluation of gastrointestinal tract in neonatal and pediatric patients because of their small body habitus and the presence of less fat tissue in the abdominal wall and peritoneal cavity. Ultrasound has certain advantages, thanks to the new wide-spectrum frequency probes able to assess a detailed study of the morphological aspects and functional characteristics of bowel loops, adding a new dimension to the imaging of this body system. In this paper, we review anatomy, ultrasound technique and sonographic findings of bowel pathology frequently encountered in neonatal and pediatric emergency setting
