The Clinical Value and Significance of B Type Ultrasound in Liver Cystic Echinococcosis

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value and significance of B-type ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of liver cystic echinococcosis. Methods: The clinical data of 332 cases of liver cystic echinococcosis who were accepted B-mode ultrasound examination and surgical treatment in our hospital from December 2000 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In 332cases, 303 were confirmed as liver cystic echinococcosis disease after surgery; liver cystic echinococcosis could be divided into single unicystic, multiple unicystic, multi ascus, rupture infection type and necrosis calcified by B-mode ultrasound examination. The single unicystic patients were more common in the youth; rupture infection patients were more common in the old; 3 cases of necrotic calcified were over 60 years old; rupture infection patients had the largest number of cases. Conclusion: The ultrasound was the preferred method for the examination of liver cystic echinococcosis disease the types of hydatid disease and location, number, size and structure of hydatid cyst that provideed the help for the surgical positioning and the basis for the observed treatment effect.
