Abstract
:The contribution of imaging techniques, most notably ultrasonography, in i ntestinal and peritoneal tuberculosis in children has received little atten tion in the literature. Forty cases seen at the pediatric departments of th e Children's Hospital in Casablanca were reviewed with the goal of defining ultrasound abnormalities and diagnostic problems. Findings from barium stu dies are also reviewed.
