Abstract

Objective: To study the value of high-frequency ultrasonography in diagnosis and follow up examination for mesenteric lymphadenitis in children. Methods: The clinical data of 206 mesenteric lymphadenitis patients admitted to our hospital from October 2011 to January 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Before and after treatment, the maximum long-axis diameter and short-axis diameter of the largest lymph node were both assessed, and the differences were statistically analyzed. The changes in maximum longitudinal cross-sectional area were also analyzed. Results: After treatment, the diameters of mesenteric lymph nodes were significantly reduced in 165 cases, while for the other 41 patients, little changes were observed. Conclusions: The maximum longitudinal cross-sectional area of mesenteric lymph nodes is an ideal diagnostic indicator for mesenteric lymphadenitis. High-frequency ultrasonography is effective in diagnosis and follow up examination for children with mesenteric lymphadenitis, which may be the preferred imaging modality at present.
