%X The practical use of EUS in small children below the age of 4 years is not described. The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility,safety, and clinical utility of smaller caliber echo-bronchoscope in the management of gastrointestinal, pancreatobiliary, andmediastinal disease in children below 4 years.
