Abstract:
Spleen ultrasound is one of the modality of choice to assess and evaluate the
pathological condition of this organ and together with its measurement. This was
an analytical study aimed to assess the spleen volume in adult Sudanese population
using ultrasound measurement in order to provide the reference marker of its
volume. A 121 patients (34 men; mean age, 30 years [range, 20-45years]) and (87
women ; mean age, 30 years [range, 20-52 years]) who presented with normal
spleen although may have any abnormality rather than the spleen itself, underwent
abdominal US scan and the measurement was performed in both transvers and
longitudinal section, using a high resolution Mind-Ray DC-N6 US unit with 3-5
MHz curved array transducer.; this study was conducted in Sennar city at Alhilal
Alahmer diagnostic complex in period from July 2018- till December 2018, and
patient demographic data was measured for all study population which include
(Height, Weight, and BMI) having mean of 163.7±7.7, 57.5±11.9 and 21.4±3.9
respectively.the result showed that the Splenic volume calculated with minimum
19.2 ml and maximum 213 ml, the mean volume was 89.2±36.8 ml. Directly
proportional to the body characteristics.
