Table 1. Paediatric inguinal pathology: primary ultrasound findings.
Abstract
Objectives

The groin is a complex anatomic region that has traditionally been ignored by radiologists because most lesions can be diagnosed from clinical data and physical examination. Nevertheless, ultrasound examinations of the groin are increasingly being requested to confirm injury or to resolve diagnostic uncertainty. On the other hand, some conditions involving the groin are found only in paediatric patients. This article describes the key imaging findings in paediatric groin injuries, placing special emphasis on the ultrasound appearance.

Conclusions

Knowledge about conditions that can affect the groin in paediatric patients and the key imaging findings associated with them helps improve the diagnostic performance of ultrasound.

Resumen
Objetivos

La región inguinal es un área anatómica compleja que ha sido tradicionalmente olvidada por los radiólogos dado que la mayoría de las lesiones pueden diagnosticarse mediante datos clínicos y con la exploración física. No obstante, cada vez es más frecuente la solicitud de ecografías, bien para confirmar la existencia de patología o para resolver casos dudosos. Por otra parte, la patología inguinal incluye entidades únicas de la edad infantil. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir los hallazgos radiológicos clave de las lesiones inguinales pediátricas, poniendo especial énfasis en los datos ecográficos.

Conclusiones

El conocimiento de la patología inguinal pediátrica y sus claves en imagen ayudan a mejorar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la ecografía.
