The attainable results of the two groups (the ultrasound-guided group and conventional group); showed the mean age by months was distributed as 5.89 ± 1.87 and 7.02 ± 2.31, respectively, with no significant difference between groups. There was no significant difference regarding sex distribution. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding history distribution and examinations (Table Demographic data, history, and clinical examination between studied groupsData were expressed by either mean ± SD or number (%).
