| Résumé : | Gray scale ultrasonography using digitalized memory scanners permits with quick, single-sweep contact scanning, visualization of pancreatic tissue in very young children. This innocuous technique which does not require sedation or abdominal preparation, except for a few hours fasting, can be successfully performed even in children in poor physical condition. We report in the present study the examination of pancreatic tissue of 35 patients with cystic fibrosis along with appropriate controls. Our preliminary results suggest that in cystic fibrosis the echographic parenchymal pattern of the pancreas changes from normal in babies to a progressively fibrotic aspect in children as young as 6 years of age and that the thickness of the pancreas diminished progressively. |
