title: [Sonographic aspects of clinically suspected acute appendicitis].
abstract: Revealing a sensitivity of 97.5% and a specificity of 95.12% this study emphasizes the excellent diagnostic value of sonography in the elucidation of patients with clinical signs of "acute appendicitis". Evaluation of morphology on the one hand and maximal diameter of the organ and the organ wall on the other, in conjunction with the clinical presentation, allows a restrictive management of the surgical treatment and thus decreases the rate of negative laparotomy.
