Özet

Background. Ascites is defined as abnormal fluid retention in the peritoneal cavity and it can be encountered at any age including fetal life. Ascites mostly results from cirrhosis, chronic renal disease and heart failure in childhood. However, there are various reasons for cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic ascites in the pediatric age.
