Özet

The aim of this study is to determine the ultrasound criteria in the diagnosis of hepatic veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children. A total of 158 pediatric patients underwent HSCT between January 2016 and January 2018. In all, 71 patients with clinically suspicious hepatic VOD/SOS have been followed with serial ultrasound examinations. Hepatomegaly, gallbladder wall thickening, ascites, pleural effusion, reverse flow in the portal vein, and diameter and peak systolic velocity of the hepatic artery were evaluated. Patients were divided into 2 groups retrospectively: VOD/SOS and non-VOD/SOS. The predictive value of all findings was determined, respectively. Gallbladder wall thickening, increase of diameter and peak systolic velocity of the hepatic artery, and the presence of ascites are highly predictive for VOD/ SOS (P=0.001 and < 0.05). The reversed portal venous flow was developed in 3 patients in the VOD/SOS group, no significant difference was found between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Hepatomegaly was recorded in 29 (70.7%) patients in the VOD/SOS group, 13 of them was presented related to a primary disease. Pleural effusion is not associated with the diagnosis of VOD/SOS (P> 0.05). Gallbladder wall edema, an increase of peak systolic velocity of the hepatic artery, and the presence of ascites are highly related to the diagnosis of VOD/SOS in children after HSCT. Ultrasound findings must be correlated with clinical criteria.
