Few amusing ultrasound signs discovered as a matter of coincidence.

Abstract

The purpose of this series is to describe a few unusual ultrasound appearances that bare a striking resemblance to some common familiar objects .We report three separate cases of intestinal ascariasis, a large urinary bladder diverticulum and a drain site hernia, where the ultrasound findings were rather unusual and amusing bearing striking resemblance to some common objects that prompted us to describe three amusing but uncommon ultrasound “signs” that occurred as a matter of coincidence. The significance of the three signs described is that the resemblance occurred as a matter of chance. The diagnosis in the three cases was otherwise straightforward, but the appearance amusing.
