The aim was to identify the position of sigmoid colon in children and discuss its clinical significance.
Ninety-one contrast enema studies were retrospectively evaluated and the position of sigmoid colon categorized as below: Left lower quadrant, right lower quadrant, midline, and indeterminate.
The position of sigmoid colon in the right lower quadrant, left lower quadrant, midline, and indeterminate was 32 (35.16%), 33 (36.26%), 12 (13.19%), and 14 (15.38%), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in mean age (P = 0.87) or gender prevalence (P = 0.49) for different positions of the sigmoid colon.
The sigmoid colon occupies the right lower quadrant in a large number of children. Awareness of this finding is of crucial importance in correct interpretation of abdominal radiographs in the emergency room.
确定儿童乙状结肠的位置并探讨其临床意义。
回顾性评估91例对比灌肠研究,并将乙状结肠位置分类如下:左下象限、右下象限、中线和不确定。
乙状结肠位于右下象限、左下象限、中线和不确定的分别有32例(35.16%)、33例(36.26%)、12例(13.19%)和14例(15.38%)。乙状结肠不同位置的平均年龄(P = 0.87)或性别患病率(P = 0.49)无统计学显著差异。
大量儿童的乙状结肠位于右下象限。认识到这一发现对于在急诊室正确解读腹部X光片至关重要。
