2. • A novel technology that combines
visualisation of the mucosa and radiologic
power to see beyond “ deep to the mucosa”
• The role of EUS has continued to expand with
the introduction of EUS-guided fine needle
aspiration (FNA) of mural, extra-mural, and
pancreatic lesions.
• In the year 2000 guidelines for the use of EUS
were established
10. • T lesion, adenocarcinoma in lower thoracic esophagus with central depression shown by yellow
arrow (a); endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
• image showing submucosal invasion but no involvement of muscularis propria (MP) shown by
yellow arrow (b).
12. • Gastric lymphoma causing a linitis plastic appearance. This patient with a diffusely infi ltrating B - cell lymphoma
has poorly distensible thickened abnormal - appearing gastric folds on endoscopy (a). On endoscopic ultrasound
(b), there is preservation of the fi ve - layer pattern but markedthickening of the gastric wall to 10.9 mm with a
thickened muscularis propria to 2.5 mm (normal 1 mm or less).
27. Therapeutic EUS
• CPN and CPB
• Botulinum injection in achalasia
• EUS-guided Ablation of tumors and cysts
Radiofrequency, or alcohol injection
• EUS-guided placement of radiographic
markers
• EUS-guided drainage procedures “ cysts,
abscesses, CBD, hepatic duct and pancreatic
duct”
28. Chronic Abdominal Pain& CPB or CPN?
• Can be a clinically challenging problem
especially if narcotic analgesia is indicated
At that point CPN or CPB can help in
• Pain relief
• Improving quality of life
