“…We also observed a greater ovarian volume on the right side, although the difference was not sufficiently large as to consider the ovaries separately. While some authors have found significant differences, 5,23 many others have not 11‐13,17,24 . We hypothesize that this could be due to more difficult visualization of the left ovary, as it can be obscured by gas in the sigmoid colon.…”

Pelvic ultrasonography (PUS) is the technique of choice for the evaluation of pediatric genital organs, as an accurate, painless, noninvasive method that does not require sedation or ionizing radiation. 1 This method allows the assessment of sexual development, in particular alterations such as premature or delayed puberty, or sexual ambiguity, among others. 2,3 The imaging appearance of the normal reproductive tract changes over the female's life, largely as a result of hormonal influence. 4 The neonatal uterus is prominent, and the cervix is larger than the fundus (fundal-cervical ratio 1:2); in contrast, the prepubertal uterus generally has a tubular shape, and

“…A study conducted in Korea in 2019 by Jin-Wook et al on 180 females in the age range 0-18 years concluded that the age group of 10-12 years had the highest rate of increase in ovary size than other groups [ 5 ]. Their findings are similar to our findings, suggesting age-specific ovarian volume and size changes.…”

“…Evaluating the volume of the ovaries in children and adolescents is an important factor in the diagnosis of ovarian disease and puberty-related disorders, and it is a useful indicator of the ovarian reserve [3,4]. Ultrasonography (US) measurement of the volume of the ovaries and uterus is considered one of the commonly used techniques in diagnosing puberty-related disorders [5]. It remains the most used and useful technique in pediatric and adolescent gynecology and is often the only one necessary before therapeutic intervention [6,7].…”

Introduction Sonography is a non-invasive and painless technique used for assessing pelvic anatomy and disorder in children and adolescents. Ovarian growth patterns during infancy and puberty are not completely understood. No consensus exists about the normal measures and morphologic appearance of the ovaries in the southern region of Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study determined the pattern of ovarian and uterine sizes among Saudi girls and their correlation with age. Methods This study was conducted in the radiology department at Abha Maternity and Children Hospital among girls between 0-13 years. All the participants underwent transabdominal ultrasound, and we measured ovarian volume, uterine length, and endometrial thickness to correlate with chronologic age using the Chi-squared test. Results A Total of 152 females were included in this study. The median age was 72 months, with a minimum of one month and a maximum of 156 months. The Chi-squared test showed a significant correlation between age and ovarian measurement. Age was positively associated with ovarian volume, uterine length, and endometrial thickness (p<0.001). Conclusion The study concluded that age strongly correlated with the size of the uterus and ovaries, which is crucial in interpreting ultrasound measurements of the pelvic organs correctly.
