Abstract (2. Language): 
The purpose of this study was to determine the value of routine abdominal ultrasound in healthy school age children. A total of 413 children (194 girls, 219 boys) between the ages of 7 and 12, without any disease history and any symptom were included into the study. We have found abdominal pathologies in 56 (13.5%) of these children. Among these pathologies there was diffuse increase in liver echogenicity in 41 children, bilateral increase of renal paranchymal echogenicity in 5 children, pelvicalyceal ectasia (3 unilateral, 2 bilateral) in 5 children, hydronephrosis (unilateral) in 3 children, urolithiasis in one child and right renal agenesis in one child. We suggest the routine use of ultrasonography routinely as a first screening method for the detection of abdominal pathologies in asymptomatic children.

Bu çalışmada sağlıklı ilkokul çocuklarında rutin batın ultrmonografisinin değerini saptamayı amaçladık. Bunun için halihazırda herhangi bir şikayeti ve geçirilmiş hastalık öyküsü olmayan yaşları 7 ile 12 arasında değişen toplam 413 çocuk (194 kız, 219 erkek) çalışma kapsamına alındı. Bunlardan 56'sında (%13.5) ultrasonografik olarak patoloji bulundu. Bulunan patolojiler arasında 41 çocukta karaciğerde dijfüz ekojenite artışı, 5 çocukta bilateral böbrek parankim ekojenitesinde artış, 5 çocukta böbreklerde pelvikalisyel ektazi (3 Unilateral, 2 bilateral), 3 çocukta hidronefroz (Unilateral), bir çocukta Urolithiasis ve bir çocukta da sağ böbrek agenezisi vardı.
