摘要
The impact and feasibility of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in younger children are unknown. We retrospectively reviewed the EUS procedures we had performed in children younger than 16 years with regard to feasibility, safety, and impact on further treatment. In all, 18 patients (12 boys, 6 girls; median age 12 years, range 0.5-15) underwent EUS. The indications were as follows: tumor (9), epigastric pain (3), recurrent pancreatitis (2), unexplained jaundice (2), hypoglycemia (1), and von Hippel-Lindau disease (1). We concluded that EUS had a significant impact in 78% of the cases. EUS seems to be a safe, feasible, and valuable diagnostic tool.
