Zusammenfassung

Auf der Grundlage einer Kasuistik werden in dieser Übersicht typische sonografische Befunde und Untersuchungstechnik bei akuter Divertikulitis des Kolon dargestellt. Der Stellenwert der abdominellen Sonografie wird im Vergleich zu anderen bildgebenden Verfahren diskutiert. Die neue deutsche S2k-Leitlinie zur Divertikelkrankheit und Divertikulitis räumt der abdominellen Sonografie mit Recht eine herausgehobene Bedeutung als Methode der ersten Wahl für Diagnose und Verlaufsbeurteilung der akuten Divertikulitis ein.

Abstract

Based on a case study this review describes typical sonographic findings and appropriate examination technique in acute colonic diverticulitis. The diagnostic value of abdominal ultrasonography is discussed in comparison with other imaging techniques. The new German S2k guidelines on diverticular disease and diverticulitis rightly characterize abdominal ultrasonography as first-line imaging modality for the initial diagnostic workup and follow-up of acute diverticulitis.
