Clinical Features:
A 7-year-old boy came with
- Lower abdominal cramping pain
- Frequency of micturition
Ultrasound Features:
Multiple tubular echogenic motile structures are noted within the small intestinal lumen adjacent to the urinary bladder.
Remember:
In endemic as well as non-endemic areas, if a regular abdominal ultrasound of a child complaining about abdominal pain shows no definite organic abnormality then do not end the examination without searching for intestinal worms.
