[Ultrasonographic examinations of the liver in poisoning with Amanita Phalloides].
11 persons poisoned by Amanita phalloides with a clinical picture of the Amanita phalloides syndrome of various gravity were subjected to ultrasonographic tests of the liver. A group of the sick had control test after they had been cured. In ultrasonographic pictures the size of the organ, the changes of the structure and the vascular picture and the dynamics of the changes in connection with the clinical picture and the results of the biochemical tests were estimated. The ultrasonographic changes are not symptomatic for Amanita phalloides poisoning, but similarly to scintigraphic test of the liver they may serve as an exemplification of the morphological changes of the organ and the estimation of the dynamics of changes. Ultrasonographic tests, in case of Amanita phalloides poisoning, should be treated as complementary, providing an insight into the liver structure, without being detrimental to the patient.
