Core Tip Comparative research regarding the diagnostic effectiveness of abdominal ultrasonography (AUS) vs computed tomography (CT) for pediatric acute appendicitis (AA) remains limited. This study involved 102 children aged 3-12 years suspected of AA to compare their clinical utility based on appendiceal characteristics and diagnostic performance. The results confirmed notable abnormalities in appendix-related parameters among patients with AA. AUS showed diagnostic potential for pediatric cases, and the accuracy increased when it was combined with CT. These findings highlight a pathway (AUS + CT) to more accurate diagnoses, reduced surgical overtreatment, and efficient resource use.
