RESUMEN
Pancreas sonography was performed on 171 patients with cystic fibrosis. The pancreas was visualized in 138 patients (81%) and could not be visualized in 33. 125 patients (90%) had abnormal echogenicity of the pancreas. Cysts were found in 5 patients. Two patients showed a dilatation of the pancreatic duct. The pancreas was abnormal in 98% of all patients aged more than 6 years.

The improved survival time of patients with mucoviscidosis has revealed some new complications. 137 patients were studied by sonography. The findings in the gall bladder have been compared with liver echogenicity. A micro-gall bladder was found in 37 patients (27%). 74 patients had a normal gall bladder (54%). Concretions were found in 22 (16%) of patients. 10 out of the 22 patients with concretions showed sonographic changes in the liver. In view of the frequent abdominal symptoms in patients with mucoviscidosis, sonography should be used routinely as a non-invasive method of investigation.

Melnick-Needles syndrome is an X-linked dominant trait, lethal in males. There are three well-documented lethal examples of the disorder in the offspring of affected females and three examples in males born to normal parents who represent new mutations.
