*Look for the appendix: A high frequency probe is preferable in children. The external iliac vessels are helpful in initial orientation, as the appendix is often located in their vicinity. :*If found:::*Evaluate without and with compression.::*If possible, follow it from end to end for complete evaluation.
*Evaluate lymph nodes, mainly along the iliac vessels and aorta
*Look for ascites at least in the recto-uterine or recto-vesical pouch.
