Ultrasonographic evaluation of urinary tract morbidity in school-aged and preschool-aged children infected with Schistosoma haematobium and its evolution after praziquantel treatment: A randomized controlled trial (original) (raw)
Fig 3
Ultrasonography images of urinary bladder of SAC infected with S. haematobium.
a) Thickening of the bladder wall, transverse plane shows thickening of the left lateral wall (arrows); b) Diffuse thickening of the bladder wall more evident in the right posterior wall, echogenic snow in the lumen; c) In oblique longitudinal plane ultrasound image shows a mass-like lesion in the mucosa layer of the bladder. Block arrow indicates the dilation of the ureter; d) longitudinal plane shows a marked and diffuse thickening of the bladder wall with a mass-like lesion (arrow); e) mass-like lesion in the absence of a marked and diffuse thickening of the bladder wall; f) multifocal thickening of the wall, particularly evident on the right and posterior wall.
