Clinical Imaging, 06/30/09
Khoury NJ et al. - In a trial to describe the imaging findings of abdominal complications caused by chemotherapy in pediatric cancer pts, it appears that awareness of these complications is essential for appropriate management, decreasing their mortality and morbidity.
Methods- Radiology studies of 243 pts treated in the Children Cancer Center were reviewed, 164 of whom had abdominal studies.
- Medical records of 54 pts with abnormal imaging findings were studied.
- Ultrasound and/or CT findings showed the following complications: gallbladder sludge/crystals (n=13), gallstones (n=8), cholecystitis (n=3); liver steatosis (n=23), siderosis (n=1), veno-occlusive disease (n=2); pancreatitis (n=7); typhlitis (n=12), esophagitis (n=2).
