Role Of High Resolution Ultrasound With Color Doppler Findings In Tubercular Cervical Lymphadenopathy
Disha Mittal, Sanjay Dhawan
Abstract :
Introduction: To evaluate the Ultrasound, Color Doppler findings in enlarged cervical lymph nodes in tuberculosis patient. Materials And Methods: We evaluated 48 cases of tubercular cervical lymphadenopathy, referred for USG evaluation of the neck. All of USG findings were correlated with cytopathological / histopathological findings. Results: In our study, 58.3% (28/48) of tubercular nodes were unilateral. Short axis >10 mm was seen in 91.7% of tubercular lymph nodes. In our study 66.7% tubercular nodes were round on USG. Blurring of margins was seen in 41.7% of tubercular lymph nodes. Hilum was absent in 75% on USG. In our study 40 % of tubercular lymph node were hypoechoic. In 91.7% tubercular nodes had necrosis on USG. Matting was found in 50% cases of tubercular nodes. Tubercular nodes showed predominantly hilar vascularity on Color Doppler. Tubercular cervical lymph nodes showed RI<0.77 and PI<1.6. Conclusion: Gray scale USG coupled with Doppler is a useful investigation in the evaluation of tubercular cervical adenopathy and is complementary to the CECT as it is non–invasive, inexpensive, readily available and free of radiation
