Core Tip	Ultrasound is increasingly utilized to evaluate gastrointestinal disorders in children. Recent improvements in ultrasound technique allow detailed evaluation of bowel pathology. We present a comprehensive review of bowel pathology in children with emphasis on ultrasonographic technique and findings. This review will describe the variety of sonographic techniques available to optimize assessment of bowel disease and sonographic features of normal bowel will be described. Common and uncommon disorders of bowel in children will include congenital, acquired, inflammatory and neoplastic processes.
