20.500.12556/DiRROS-24791 Abdominal imaging in precocious puberty in girls can imaging determine onset of puberty? Precocious puberty in girls is defined by the appearance of secondary sex characteristics before the age of 8 years. Precocious puberty is either peripheral or central. In most cases, the cause of central precocious puberty is unknown. Rapidly progressive forms of central precocious puberty may benefit from puberty suppression to prevent compromised final height and psychosocial problems related to the physical changes. Idiopathic central precocious puberty in girls can be a challenging diagnosis. Clinical examination, evaluation of growth charts, bone age, and hormonal tests are part of the workup. The role of pelvic ultrasound to evaluate pubertal features of the internal genitalia in this context is controversial. In this paper, we have reviewed the literature to find the scientific bases for several proposed ultrasound parameters and cutoff values for the determination of onset of puberty in girls with suspected central precocious puberty. There are no reliable cutoffs for the measurements of uterus and ovaries for the diagnosis of central precocious puberty and there is overlap in the appearance of the organs in both prepubertal and pubertal girls. The interpretation of the findings on pelvic ultrasound must be done with caution and always in close communication with the referring clinicians. precocious puberty ultrasound uterus ovary true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2025-12-18 13:49:05 2025-12-18 13:49:05 2025-12-20 04:07:13 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 9. 9. 2025; str. 660–673 issue 4 Vol. 55 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616-053.2 1432-1998 10.1007/s00247-024-05992-8 248164867 RAZ_Smets_Anne_M._2025.pdf RAZ_Smets_Anne_M._2025.pdf 1 AA0857DDA93CA0A1B481EB468251D39D ff16b129a32babef121603bbf9d4a85d055dee052a4785e1afd977d6f61bb06f 169be94b-dc10-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37070 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00247-024-05992-8 0 224c4c27-dc10-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=37071 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
