It produces a deficiency in the activity of the enzyme beta-glucosidase provoking an accumulation of glucosylceramide in the lysosomes of different cells causing cytopenias, hepatosplenomegaly, changes in the central nervous system, and skeletal manifestations. The viscera most commonly involved with accumulation of Gaucher cells is the liver and spleen. Current recommendation for evaluating and monitoring visceral involvement is volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (preferred due to lack of ionizing radiation) or computed tomography every 12–24 months.

Ultrasonograms and computed tomography together can direct the treating surgeons toward diagnosis and planning appropriate surgery by reducing the complications of emergency laparotomy. Other more advanced imaging modalities, such as scintigraphy and invasive angiography, can be reserved for inconclusive cases. Knowing the imaging features of Meckel’s diverticulitis on ultrasonogram will decrease the mortality and morbidity related to misdiagnosed or undiagnosed cases of Meckel’s diverticulum, especially among patients in 2-tier or 3-tier cities as ultrasonography centers nowadays are readily available in remote areas.","PeriodicalId":419021,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Clinical Radiology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134315244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
