Color Doppler ultrasound assessment of morphology and types of fistulous tracts in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundFistulous tracts in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are key signs of severity and their clinical evaluation alone may be limited for assessing their presence and morphology. There is also a need to determine the factors that allow reversibility of the anatomic changes in HS.ObjectiveWe sought to categorize fistulous tracts in HS.MethodsA retrospective study of color Doppler ultrasound images of cases with positive clinical and sonographic criteria of HS with fistulous tracts was performed. The sonographic staging of HS, location, and anatomic characteristics of the tracts were registered and graded. Statistical analysis for correlating variables was performed using bivariate and multivariate studies.ResultsIn all, 52 patients presenting 96 fistulous tracts met the criteria. Morphology was defined and a sonographic classification into 3 types of fistulae was developed. Type 3 concentrated 71% of the cases presenting communicating tracts, and type 2, 29%. Types 2 and 3 represented 63% of patients with multiple fistulous tracts. Fistulous tracts types 2 and 3 were significantly correlated with age 35 years or older and groin location.LimitationsUltrasound cannot detect lesions less than 0.1 mm.ConclusionFistulous tracts in HS can be categorized using ultrasound, which may support earlier and more precise management.
