영유아 환자 위장관 응급 질환의 영상 소견 = Imaging Findings of Gastrointestinal Emergency in Infants and Young Children

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Acute abdomen is a condition with sudden abdominal pain that may require immediate surgical treatment. The causes of acute abdomen in pediatric patients are diverse, and can be categorized in broad range from diseases requiring surgery to diseases requiring medication or clinical observation only. The role of the imaging study in children with acute abdomen is to distinguish between patients who need medication and patients who need surgery by identifying diseases that cause abdominal pain, if possible. Since intussusception and appendicitis are the leading causes of acute abdomen requiring surgical treatment in children, it is important to exclude intussusception in young infants complaining of acute abdominal pain and exclude acute appendicitis in older children with acute abdomen. In this paper, we introduce intussusception, acute appendicitis, midgut volvulus, Meckel’s diverticulum and duplication cyst, which has characteristic imaging finding of the disease that can cause acute abdomen in pediatric patients.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

급성 복증(acute abdomen)은 갑자기 발생하는 심한 복부 통증으로 즉각적인 수술적 치료를 필요로 할 수도 있는 상태를 말한다. 소아 환자의 급성 복증의 원인은 다양하며, 수술적 치료를 해야 하는 질환부터 투약 치료를 받아야 하거나 임상적 관찰 만을 요하는 질환까지 다양하게 분류될 수 있다. 이러한 급성 복증의 환자에서 영상 검사의 역할은 가능하다면 복통의 원인이 되는 질환을 밝혀서 수술적 치료를 해야 하는 환자와 투약 치료를 해야 하는 환자를 구분해 주는 것이다. 장중첩증과 충수돌기염이 소아 환자에서 수술적 치료를 필요로 하는급성 복증의 가장 흔한 원인 질환이므로, 급성 복통을 호소하는 영아에서는 장중첩증을, 좀더 나이가 많은 소아에서는 충수돌기염을 영상 검사를 이용해 배제해 주는 것이 중요하다.
이 논문에서는 영유아 환자의 급성 복통을 유발할 수 있는 질환 중 특징적 영상 소견을 보이는 장중첩증, 충수돌기염, 중장 염전, 메켈 게실 및 중복낭종에 대해 소개하고자 한다
