Evaluations of puberty sexual development in girls by intraluminal ultrasound

OBJECTIVE: To assess the significance of intraluminal ultrasound in the diagnosis of developmental status and treatment effect in normal and idiopathic precocious puberty (ICPP) girls.

METHODS: Endorectal ultrasonography was used to measure the parameters of uterine length, width, thickness, cervix length, ovarian volume and maximum follicular length in normal girls and compare their differences between pre- and post-treatment by gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) in idiopathic precocious puberty girls.

RESULTS: The ultrasonic parameters of uterus and ovary in normal girls significantly increased in average 9-year-old girls (1.87 ± 0.58) ml of uterine volume in 9-year-old group vs (1.03 ± 0.24) ml in 7-year-old group; ovarian volume (3.01 ± 2.73) ml of uterine volume in 9-year-old group vs 0.98 ± 0.36 ml in 7-year-old group. They were much greater in ICPP girls and decreased significantly at post-treatment, (1.16 ± 0.19) ml of uterus volume pre-treatment vs (1.02 ± 0.15) ml post-treatment; (2.11 ± 0.48) ml of ovarian volume pre-treatment, (1.72 ± 0.55) ml post-treatment; (1.36 ± 0.25) cm of the biggest follicular diameter pre-treatment, (1.16 ± 0.36) cm post-treatment.

CONCLUSION: Endosonography is an important tool of evaluating the development status and treatment effect in normal and ICPP girls.
