Accurate diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents relies on clinical, biochemical and radiographic criteria. The traditionally utilized Rotterdam criteria define polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) as the presence of 12 or more follicles, measuring 2-9 mm in either ovary and/or an ovarian volume &gt;10 cm<sup>3</sup>. Due to advancement in imaging techniques and resolution, it has been proposed by the Androgen Excess Society Taskforce to update criteria for diagnosis of PCOM to presence of 25 or more follicles per ovary. The aim of this study was to correlate the diagnosis of PCOM using ovarian volume and follicle number criteria in adolescents with confirmed PCOS based on NIH criteria. The NIH criteria are stringent and require the presence of both menstrual irregularity and clinical or biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism for a diagnosis of PCOS. Read More
