“…Anomalies of the reproductive tract may manifest at different stages of life. Most abnormalities of the external genitalia are obvious at birth, whereas obstructive and nonobstructive lesions of the reproductive tract may be apparent at birth or only later: during childhood, at puberty, in adolescence, or in adulthood (10).…”

“…If not diagnosed at birth, the mucus will be resorbed, and the bulge will resolve. After the onset of menarche, the adolescent patient may be asymptomatic or have a history of cyclical abdominal and/or pelvic pain (10). A diagnosis of imperforate hymen can usually be made on the basis of physical examination alone.…”

“…Patients may present with mucocolpos in infancy or childhood, hematocolpos in adolescence, and/or pyohematocolpos due to ascending infection that occurs through the small perforation. It is clinically important to identify a cervix at imaging examination to differentiate between a high vaginal septum and cervical atresia, since treatment and prognosis differ (10).…”

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is an uncommon disorder of mullerian agenesis where patients face multiple challenges like difficulty or inability to conceive and have sexual intercourse and chronic abdominal pain. This is a case report of a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome who presented to the pain clinic with severe cyclical pelvic pain unresponsive to conservative treatment. This case was successfully managed with three ultrasound-guided superior hypogastric plexus blocks. This case illustrates that acute pelvic pain in MKRS patients can be effectively treated with bedside ultrasound-guided superior hypogastric plexus blocks. However, a GnRh analogue or hysterectomy is recommended for definitive treatment.

Ultrasonographic and multimodal imaging of pediatric genital female diseases

et al. 2019

Ultrasonography is the first-line imaging modality in the evaluation of the female pelvis in childhood and adolescence, because it is easy to perform, non-invasive and it does not require sedation. The transabdominal approach is preferred in children and adolescents, after filling the bladder to move away the bowel loops from the pelvis. The probe frequency must be adapted to age, thickness of tissues and depth of the structures under examination. High-frequency (4-12 MHz) linear or convex probes are used in newborns; high-frequency linear probes (4-12 MHz) in toddler, convex 5-7.5 MHz probes in girls and convex 3.5-5 MHz probes in teenagers. In this article, the main pathological conditions of the genital female tract in pediatric age are examined, such as congenital anomalies, disorders of sex development, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors, adnexal torsion, primary amenorrhea, precocious puberty and pelvic inflammatory disease.
