Overview
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound is the gold standard imaging modality used to diagnose Intussusception.[1]
- If the ultrasonographer is experienced then [2] :-
- Sensitivity - 100%
- Specificity - 100%
- Negative predictive value - 100%
- Target or doughnut sign[3]
- Edematous intussuscipiens forms an external ring around the centrally located intussusceptum.
- Target sign is usually seen in right lower quadrant.
- Layers of intussusception forms pseudo-kidney appearance on the transverse view.
- Ultrasound in adults.
- Less accurate than in children.
- Target sign or doughnut sign can be visualized in transverse view.
- Pseudo - kidney can be visualized in longitudinal view.
- Ultrasound can be used to diagnose ileo-ileal intussusception which is a rare form. Fluoroscopy can miss this form of intussusception.
- Ultrasound can detect the pathology in 2/3rd number of cases.[4]
- Limitations of ultrasound.[5]
- In cases of bowel distension and morbid obesity, massive air can result in reduced rate of detection and diagnosis of intussusception.
