摘要

即时超声（POCUS）是诊断急腹症的关键，特别是在资源有限的情况下。本文报告一位51岁男性，以左下腹疼痛、苍白和低烧为主要表现。在意大利海军潜水员和乘员组使用Mindray DC-60系统进行超声检查，发现肠壁增厚，周围脂肪回声增强，少量液体收集，提示急性憩室炎。在一家民用医院进行的CT增强扫描证实了这一诊断。本病例突出了POCUS在诊断憩室炎中的价值，当无法获得CT时可以快速评估。

Point-Of-Care Ultrasound as a First-Line Tool for Acute Diverticulitis in a Military Setting.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is essential for diagnosing acute abdominal conditions, especially in resource-limited settings. This report discusses a 51-year-old male presenting with left lower quadrant pain, pallor, and low-grade fever. Ultrasound performed at the Italian Navy's Divers and Riders Group with a Mindray DC-60 system revealed bowel wall thickening, increased echogenicity of surrounding fat, and a small fluid collection, suggestive of acute diverticulitis. A contrast-enhanced CT scan at a civilian hospital confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the value of POCUS in diagnosing diverticulitis, enabling rapid assessment when access to CT is unavailable.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography. The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents. JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
