摘要

BACKGROUND: Abdominal pain and irregular bowel habits are common among young people. Irritable bowel syndrome is frequent in the general population and has important economic and social costs. Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic processes with an acute or indolent onset in young people. Differential clinical diagnosis between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease can be difficult since symptoms and signs are often non-specific. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of intestinal ultrasound, a non-invasive, simple and cheap diagnostic tool, in the differentiation between organic and functional bowel diseases. METHODS: Abdominal and intestinal ultrasound examinations were performed on 313 consecutive outpatients presenting with abdominal pain and irregular bowel habits lasting more than 3 months. These patients had no symptoms or signs indicative of organic disorders and no previous diagnosis of organic disease. An intestinal wall thickness of more than 7 mm was considered diagnostic for inflammatory bowel disease. Subsequently, we compared the ultrasound results with diagnoses obtained following the traditional criteria (radiological and endoscopic examinations). RESULTS: Intestinal ultrasound for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease showed 74% sensitivity, 98% specificity, a positive predictive value of 92% and a negative predictive value of 92%. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, intestinal ultrasound seems important as a first diagnostic tool in young patients without clear symptoms or signs of organic diseases, and can be used as an indication that subsequent invasive tests are required.
