Abstract :
Mesentery lymphadenitis is an inflammation
of the lymph nodes in the membrane (mesentery) that
connects the colon or bowel to the abdominal wall. It is
often mimicked by appendicitis, but is rarely dangerous.
150 consecutive paediatric patients were recommended
for abdominal sonography for a variety of reasons. Any
lymph node greater than 5 mm found was recorded. The
age of the patient, the diagnosis, the presence of clusters,
the presence of enlarged abdominal lymph nodes, their
position, size, and quantity were all noted. Acute
appendicitis, intussusception, and ovarian torsion are the
three main clinical concerns. Mesenteric adenitis is an
inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes caused by
Yersinia, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, other
mycobacterium, and viruses. It is believed that the
clinical condition of mesenteric adenitis mimics an
"acute abdomen". A total of 260 patients were
investigated in a study, with the most common
complaints being abdominal discomfort, excessive
weeping, fever, dysuria, vomiting, and others. 76 patients
had swollen lymph nodes, of whom 73 (35.6%) were
from paediatric emergency and 3 (5.5%) were from opd.
The prevalence of enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes in
symptomatic children was significantly greater than in
asymptomatic children. Children under the age of 10 are
more likely to have larger MLNs, and those with
abdominal pain as their main complaint are more likely
to have swollen lymph nodes. Mesenteric lymphadenitis
is the most frequent diagnosis, with right iliac fossa
lymph nodes being enlarged in the majority of patients.
This study found that swollen lymph nodes are more
common in children who have a history of abdominal
pain. Younger children are more likely to have swollen
lymph nodes, and intussusception is more common in
larger lymph nodes. Sonography can help establish a
primary diagnosis and distinguish between medical and
surgical crises
