Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal polyps in children.Methods A total of 681 children with gastrointestinal polyps were diagnosed by ultrasound.All the children underwent endo-scopic,laparoscopic or open surgery to remove polyps.The findings of ultrasound were compared with surgery and pathology.Results The overall sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV,Youden index and accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis of gastrointestinal polyps were above 97.00%,Kappa value was 0.975,P<0.001,and ultrasound diagnosis was highly consistent with postopera-tive pathological results.The most common pathological types of polyps were juvenile polyposis in 647 cases(95.00%),fol-lowed by intestinal polyps with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in 25 cases(3.67%)and juvenile polyposis syndrome in 4 cases(0.59%).The three types showed typical ultrasonographic manifestations.Conclusions The ultrasonography of gastrointestinal polyps in children with different pathological types has its own characteristics,and the ultrasonography diagnosis and pathologi-cal results are highly consistent,which can provide reliable imaging basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
