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.
引言
超声检查是一种用于评估儿童和青少年盆腔解剖结构及疾病的非侵入性无痛技术。婴儿期和青春期卵巢的生长模式尚未完全明确。沙特阿拉伯南部地区卵巢的正常测量值和形态表现尚无共识。因此，本研究确定了沙特女孩卵巢和子宫大小的模式及其与年龄的相关性。
方法
本研究在阿卜哈妇产儿童医院放射科对0至13岁的女孩进行。所有参与者均接受经腹超声检查，我们测量了卵巢体积、子宫长度和子宫内膜厚度，并使用卡方检验将其与实际年龄相关联。
结果
本研究共纳入152名女性。中位年龄为72个月，最小1个月，最大156个月。卡方检验显示年龄与卵巢测量值之间存在显著相关性。年龄与卵巢体积、子宫长度和子宫内膜厚度呈正相关（p<0.001）。
结论
该研究得出结论，年龄与子宫和卵巢大小密切相关，这对于正确解读盆腔器官的超声测量结果至关重要。
