الوصف: Background Testicular size assessment is an important and initial technique for the evaluation of gonadal function. Our study aims to determine the correlation between paediatric testicular volumes measured with the orchidometer, high-resolution ultrasonography (US) and intra-operative measurements using calipers. Results This is a prospective observational study of 127 boys presenting to our institution with non-emergent scrotal conditions between January 2007 and October 2008. Volume estimates of both testes were measured using the Prader orchidometer. The patient was then sent to a radiologist who measured the testicular volumes using US, being blinded to the orchidometer estimates. At surgery, the testicular dimensions on the side of the pathology were obtained with a vernier caliper. The testicular volumes by US and caliper were calculated using the formula 0.71 × Length × Width × Height. The relationship between the measured volumes was determined using Pearson’s correlation statistic and Student’s t test. The level of significance for all analysis was set at p < 0.05. Their ages ranged from 18 days to 13 years (median 3 years). There was significant correlation between testicular volumes (for both sides, i.e. right and left) measured with the orchidometer and US ( r = 0.544; 0.537, p < 0.001), significant correlation between testicular volumes measured with the orchidometer and caliper ( r = 0.537; 0.638, p < 0.001) and also significant correlation between volumes measured by US and caliper ( r = 0.382; 0.829, p < 0.01). Conclusion Prader orchidometer testicular volume estimates correlate significantly with US estimates in children. In resource-constrained settings, it could be used for an accurate and quick testicular volume assessment.

الوصف: Background: Typhoid fever is a severe systemic illness caused by the gram-negative bacillus Salmonella typhi and transmitted by the faecal-oral route. This study sought to determine the value of plain abdominal and chest radiographs in detecting pneumoperitoneum in children with typhoid intestinal perforation (TIP).Methods: A retrospective review of plain abdominal and chest radiographs of children who had surgery for TIP between June 2009 and December 2011 in our unit. All the films were reviewed by the same radiologist who was blinded to the intraoperative findings, for the presence or absence of various signs of pneumoperitoneum. Data were collected on a structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 15.0.Results: Radiographs of 54 children were reviewed. Their ages ranged from 3 years to 13 years (median 7 years). Thirty-three of them were boys and 21 were girls (male-to-female ratio 1.57:1). Pneumoperitoneum was detected in 47 patients (87%). In the erect abdominothoracic films, air under the right hemidiaphragm was detected in 16 of 41 cases (39%), and extraluminal or intraperitoneal air-fluid levels in 31 of 41 cases (75.6%). In the supine abdominal films, the commonest sign of pneumoperitoneum was the right upper quadrant gas sign (23 of 50 cases; 46%).Conclusions: A careful interpretation of plain abdominal and chest radiographs in the child suspected to have TIP, would lead to more accurate diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum.Keywords: pneumoperitoneum; typhoid intestinal perforation; radiographs; children; air–fluid levels

الوصف: Intestinal perforation is a life-threatening complication of typhoid fever commonly seen in developing countries, but extraintestinal complications are infrequently reported. We report herein two cases of gangrene seen in children managed for typhoid intestinal perforation, highlighting the challenges faced in their management.
