Zusammenfassung

Anhand von 3 Kasuistiken wird gezeigt, daß die sonongraphische Diagnose einer Fettleber im Kindesalter meist mit einer Stoffwechselerkrankung, ab dem 4. bis 5. Lebensjahr bevorzugt mit einem Morbus Wilson verbunden ist.

Diskussion: Aufgrund der weiten Verbreitung der Sonographie ermöglicht die konsequente Abklärung dieser Veränderung neue Perspektiven für eine Frühdiagnose des Morbus Wilson im präsymptomatischen Stadium, dessen symptomatische Phase durch eine konsequente, lebenslange Therapie vermieden werden kann.

Summary

The following three case studies will prove, that the sonographic diagnosis of a fatty liver is often related to a metabolic disease, beginning at the age of 4 to 5 years in conjunction with the Morbus Wilson.

Discussion: Due to te widly spread use of sonography and the meticulous search for morphological changes it becames possible to examine at an early presymptomatic stage the Wilson disease. This and a reliable enforcement of therapy might help to prevent further damage and side effects.
