Abstract
We aimed to determine normal ultrasonographic limits of spleen length and volume in healthy Caucasian neonates and children. A total of 458 healthy cases (age, 1 d to 15 y; sex, 241 males and 217 females) with normal body measurements were included. Spleen length and volume were obtained ultrasonographically. The two genders were comparable for the mean spleen length and volume. Lower and upper normal limits were tabulated according to age and sex groups. Significant correlations (Pearson r > 0.80; p < 0.001) were present between spleen length/volume and age, height and weight. Two equations were created to estimate spleen length and volume by age. Normal spleen lengths and volumes and their lower and upper limits were obtained ultrasonographically in a large sample of Caucasian pediatric patients.
