This study contributes to data on US spleen and liver sizes of Nigerian children. The findings buttress observations that body surface area strongly correlates with US spleen and liver measurements. It is recommended that more studies be conducted among Nigerian children to generate a robust pool of data that are useful for creating homogeneous formulae to ease interpretation of US measurements of these intraabdominal organs.
