Acute onset pelvic pain in a pubertal girl has many possible etiologies. Reproductive, urinary and gastrointestinal pathology all can underlie acute onset pelvic pain in this age group and may have similar presentations. We present a series of six cases in which MRI was utilized for further evaluation of US findings and either confirmed the need for surgical intervention, or established the cause of pain and eliminated the need for surgery.

Tubo-ovarian abscesses are uncommon and are usually associated with pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to sexually transmitted disease; however, there has been a small number of reported cases occurring in non-sexually active girls. A series of six virginal girls with tubo-ovarian abscesses is presented for discussion of the clinical circumstances, imaging findings and diagnostic difficulties encountered in this uncommon diagnosis.

Cystic ovarian lesions frequently occur in the female pediatric population, and they present with a varied clinical picture or can be incidentally found in imaging studies. The clinical approach and treatment considerations differ from their adult counterpart, considering the need for ovarian salvage and preservation of fertility. Also, the histologic distribution of ovarian tumors differs in pediatric and adult populations, which will alter the treatment algorithm. We will present a pictorial review demonstrating comprehensive imaging features of adnexal cystic lesions in fetuses, infants, pre-pubertal, and peripubertal girls. We will discuss the similar and dissimilar findings in the radiologic presentation of adnexal cystic lesions in the pediatric population versus adults for proper management. Read More

This education exhibit will provide a general review of radiographic techniques of the foot followed by a section identifying clinical and radiographic findings for specific foot deformities. Learning objectives for this exhibit include: (a) recognize the imaging needed for specific foot deformities, (b) measure critical angles from different radiographic views and interpret their meanings, (c) recognize radiographic identifying features for specific foot deformities, (d) identify what views are necessary when trying to differentiate between similar deformities, and (e) interpret post-operative/post-procedural imaging and recognize possible complications.

The purpose of this exhibit is: -To discuss the role of DWIBS (diffusion-weighted whole body imaging with background body signal suppression) in the evaluation of pediatric body imaging pathology and to identify common indications for its use -To review normal DWIBS findings in various body organs and to understand imaging pitfalls -To provide examples of pathological conditions seen on DWIBS Read More
