Reference curves for the growth of the uterus and ovaries were established for prepubertal and postpubertal girls by examining 34 healthy schoolgirls of age 7, 10, 13, and 17 years by grayscale ultrasound. Uterine volume increased from mean 0.9 cm3 at 7 years to 53 cm3 at 17 years. The ovaries could not be detected by ultrasound in girls of 7 years, but ovarian volume increased from mean 0.7 cm3 at 10 years to 5.8 cm3 at 17 years. There was good correlation between the Tanner score and uterine and ovarian volumes (r = 0.91 and 0.82 respectively). To test the reference curve, the uterine volume was assessed in 10 girls with abnormal sexual development. Five girls with precocious puberty had values greater than mean + 2 SD and 5 girls with primary amenorrhoea had values less than mean - 2 SD. Good reference values for ovarian and uterine size are necessary before ultrasound can be used to evaluate these organs in children with abnormal development of the reproductive system.
通过对34名7岁、10岁、13岁和17岁的健康在校女生进行灰阶超声检查，建立了青春期前和青春期后女孩子宫和卵巢生长的参考曲线。子宫体积从7岁时的平均0.9立方厘米增加到17岁时的53立方厘米。7岁女孩的卵巢在超声检查中无法检测到，但卵巢体积从10岁时的平均0.7立方厘米增加到17岁时的5.8立方厘米。坦纳评分与子宫和卵巢体积之间存在良好的相关性（分别为r = 0.91和0.82）。为了测试参考曲线，对10名性发育异常的女孩进行了子宫体积评估。5名性早熟女孩的值大于平均值 + 2标准差，5名原发性闭经女孩的值小于平均值 - 2标准差。在超声用于评估生殖系统发育异常儿童的这些器官之前，需要有良好的卵巢和子宫大小参考值。
