Resolution of Sonographic Appendicitis in Pediatrics: a Point of Care Ultrasound Case-Series 

Eric Scheier, MD; Benjamin Taragin, MD – Studies of pediatric appendicitis treated conservatively show a considerable rate of recurrence. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) imaging at our facility is routinely performed for abdominal pain and may be more likely than radiology-performed ultrasound to encounter cases that then self-resolve. We present a case series collected from a POCUS quality assurance review from 2019 through 2022.
