Clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT for infant umbilical hernia
Objective To investigate the clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)in the diagnosis of umbilical hernia in infants.Methods Data of 10 infants with umbilical hernia who were clinically diagnosed and underwent MSCT examination in Foshan Women and Children Hospital from February 2015 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including 6 male patients and 4 female patients,with an age at 0-7 months and a median age at 2 months.The imaging features of umbilical hernia were analyzed on CT images,and the width of the hernia ring and the hernia-neck ratio were measured.Additionally,the effect of the treatment was tracked.Results All 10 infants showed umbilical protrusion and abdominal wall muscle interruption.The contents of umbilical hernia were either inflatable intestinal tube or fat,or a mixture of soft tissues.The size of the hernia ring ranged from 3.1-33.2 mm,with a median value of 14.9 mm.The hernia-neck ratio ranged from 0.18-2.06,with a median value of 1.49.One infant,who shared the biggest hernia ring/hernia-neck-ratio underwent umbilical hernia repair surgery,while nine infants received conservative treatment,all of which achieved good therapeutic effect.Conclusion MSCT can provide objective imaging evidence for evaluating umbilical hernia in infants,and has potential advantages in the diagnosis and treatment options of umbilical hernia.
