✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the size and echotexture of the liver in psoriatic and healthy children.

Methods

In 70 psoriatic and 43 healthy children, longitudinal sonograms of the liver were obtained along standardized section planes defined by the anterior axillary line, medioclavicular line, and midline. The livers' size and echotexture were examined and compared between the study groups.

Results

The measurements of the liver along the 3 section planes were not significantly different between psoriatic and healthy children. Parenchymal liver echogenicity in psoriatic children was neither decreased nor increased.

Conclusions

No abnormality in size or echotexture of the liver was found in the psoriatic children. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 32:344–347, 2004
