EUS in pediatric patients.

EUS has become an essential tool in pediatric gastroenterology for high-resolution imaging of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs. This review describes the clinical applications and outcomes of EUS in diagnosing and managing pediatric gastrointestinal, pancreatic, biliary, and intestinal diseases. EUS is particularly useful in abdominal diseases, offering an accurate and high-resolution imaging method without radiation exposure. Despite its proven efficacy in children, EUS remains underutilized due to technical challenges and limited pediatric-specific expertise. Thus, the study highlights the importance of increasing the availability and training for pediatric EUS to enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic options in children.
