LOWER RIGHT QUADRANT PAIN: A SONO ANATOMICAL PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ANATOMICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Ultrasonography has been found to be highly precise in evaluation of various abdominal masses. It is highly sensitive, non-invasive in nature and has no radiation risk. Material & Methods: A prospective study aiming at sonographic evaluation of 133 patients with right lower quadrant pain/mass which includes patients of all age groups and both sexes was planned. In this study, the efficiency of ultrasonography over clinical assessment in determination of the organ of origin was evaluated in a systematic manner according to anatomy of the region. Results: The maximum number of cases belonged to gastrointestinal (GI) pathologies (54%) followed by genitourinary (GU) pathologies (31.6%) while 14% non-gastrointestinal and non-genitourinary origin.
