Overview
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with familial Mediterranean fever. However, echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications, including pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, and hepatosplenomegaly.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with familial Mediterranean fever. However, echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of familial Mediterranean fever, which include:[1]
A recent study comparing the cardiac functions in FMF patients and healthy controls using tissue doppler imaging has observed impaired left ventricular diastolic function indices in FMF patients.[2]
Other non-specific findings which have been found on the ultrasound imaging of patients with FMF include:[3]
- Peritoneal fluid
- Enlarged kidneys
- Hyperechoic kidneys
- Lymphadenopathy
- Peritoneal cysts
- Dilated bowel loops
- cholelithiasis
- Cholecystitis
- Cavernous malformation of the portal vein
- Terminal ileitis
- Segmental infarct of the kidney
- Bleeding from a ruptured renal cyst
- Incidental ovarian dermoid cyst.
