Pelvic pain is a common indication for ultrasound examinations in female pediatric patients. Many pathological processes affect the female pelvis in childhood. Knowledge of the normal ultrasound appearance of the pelvic organs is the basis for the recognition of pathologic findings. Pelvic pain in children is a nonspecific clinical finding often prompting use of ultrasound. Other indications for pelvic ultrasound in female children include workup of cysts seen on fetal ultrasound, urogenital malformations in newborns, precocious puberty, vaginal discharge or abnormal bleeding, and amenorrhea. Knowledge of differential diagnosis for disease processes of the female pelvic organs is essential. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for evaluating the pediatric female pelvis.

Intrauterine retention of foetal bones is an uncommon but recognised complication of late termination of pregnancy. Secondary subfertility, abnormal uterine bleeding and vaginal discharge are the usual presenting complaints. We report a case of prolonged retention of foetal bones for 14 years in a woman who presented with chronic pelvic pain. Hysteroscopic examination was diagnostic and therapeutic. Retained foetal bones are an uncommon intrauterine cause of chronic pelvic pain that should be considered particularly when a woman with a history of late termination presents with pelvic pain. Hysteroscopic evacuation is curative.

Pyometra is a pus accumulation in the endometrium cavity, with an incidence from 0.02% to 1.5%. The benign senile pyometra is a disease mainly reported in elder women, with an average age of 74 years. We present the case of a 59-year-old woman with the diagnosis of benign senile pyometra. The patient came to our service presenting purulent vaginal discharge, in bad condition with pelvic pain and altered hematic cytology. In the physical examination a pelvic mass was found, in the vaginal examination, the cervix was found estenotic, and the hysterometer could not be introduced. The image studies revealed an increased size of the uterus was liquid collection in its interior, compatible with blood or pus. We performed exploratory laparotomy, founding two abscecess in the uterin fundus which suffered rupture during the procedure. Abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpigooforectomy was performed, there were not other complications. Post surgical period was managed with antibiotics and close surveillance. The patient was discharged four days later with good response to the treatment. In the anatomophatological study no evidence of cervical or endometrial neoplasia was found.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection-caused inflammatory continuum from the cervix to the peritoneal cavity. Most importantly, it is associated with fallopian tube inflammation, which can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. The microbial etiology is linked to sexually transmitted microorganisms, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrheae, Mycoplasma genitalium, and bacterial vaginosis-associated microorganisms, predominantly anaerobes. Pelvic pain and fever are commonly absent in women with confirmed PID. Clinicians should consider milder symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, metrorrhagia, postcoital bleeding, and urinary frequency as potential symptoms associated with the disease, particularly in women at risk of sexually transmitted infection. The diagnosis of PID is based on the findings of lower genital tract inflammation associated with pelvic organ tenderness. The outpatient treatment of mild-to-moderate PID should include tolerated antibiotic regimens with activity against the commonly isolated microorganisms associated with PID and usually consists of an extended spectrum cephalosporin in conjunction with either doxycycline or azithromycin. Clinically severe PID should prompt hospitalization and imaging to rule out a tuboovarian abscess. Parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with activity against a polymicrobial flora, particularly gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes, should be implemented. Screening for and treatment of Chlamydia infection can prevent PID.

Pelvic hydatid cysts, although rare, must be considered when evaluating a pelvic mass in women living in an endemic area. The pelvis may become secondarily involved as a result of a rupture of the cyst in another location or be the only localization of the disease. If the cyst becomes secondarily infected, it may mimic a tuboovarian abscess. A 49-year-old multipara was admitted to the emergency department with the complaint of fever, generalized abdominal pain and distension. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 4 cm cystic structure in the liver and the gynecological examination was normal. The patient's abdominal pain receded spontaneously, so she was prescribed albendazole and discharged from the hospital. Ten days later, she complained of pelvic pain, pressure and vaginal discharge. The uterus and adnexa were tender on pelvic examination. Ultrasound revealed an 8 cm uniloculated cyst with free floating internal echogenities located between the bladder and the uterus. At surgery a 10 cm right-sided tuboovarian mass was present. A germinative membrane was present inside the abscess and pericystectomy with unilateral salphingo-oophorectomy was performed.

A 36-year-old female presented with constant, worsening left lower quadrant pain without associated fever or vaginal discharge. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed which demonstrated a large complex cystic structure in the left adnexa with peripheral flow on color Doppler imaging. Given the sonographic appearance and patient symptoms, possibilities included endometrioma or hemorrhagic cyst. Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) and other cystic ovarian masses were considered less likely. Two days later, the patient returned with severe pelvic pain as well as fever and leukocytosis. Follow-up ultrasound showed enlargement of the mass and a tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) was suspected. Ultrasound-guided transvaginal abscess drainage was performed with removal of purulent fluid. The case demonstrates that the radiological features of TOA may mimic those of adnexal cystic masses such as an endometrioma or hemorrhagic cyst. A complementary case is also included which demonstrates similar sonographic findings in a patient with endometrioma. In addition to sonographic imaging, a thorough clinical and laboratory evaluation is important in differentiating these entities. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive discussion about imaging features of cystic ovarian mass on different imaging modalities.

Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium is very rare finding, and usually these cases presented with secondary infertility. Other symptoms are pelvic pain, dyspareunia, menstrual irregularities, vaginal discharge and the passage of bony fragments in menstrual blood. Suspicious lesion could see by hysterosalpingography or by ultrasonography; however, conclusive diagnosis and treatment tool is hysteroscopy. The aetiology is unknown, but theories include retained fetal bone and osseous metaplasia of endometrial tissue. We present a patient with osseous metaplasia who had treated with hysteroscopy.

Chronic pelvic pain is a common condition. The sources of pelvic pain are multifactorial, and their causes are difficult to determine. Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is associated with varicose ovarian veins and/or varicose veins in the pelvis. The syndrome is associated with constant dull pelvic pain, abnormal menstrual bleeding, tenderness to touch in lower abdomen, pain during intercourse, painful menstrual periods, vaginal discharge, PCOS. The specific diagnosis of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is made using several tests which include ultrasound, CAT, MIR, MDCT (multidetector) and venogram. The ultrasound is the first test of choice. It can assess the uterus and other organs in the pelvis. Doppler ultrasound can also help visualize the blood flow and asses the presence of varicosities in the pelvis.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunocompetent hosts is generally asymptomatic or may present as a mononucleosic syndrome. Its association with acute cervicitis and vulvovaginitis has rarely been reported. A 24-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain, vulvodynia, abnormal vaginal discharge, burning with urination, fatigue, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. The vulva and cervix were red with vesicular lesions on the cervix. Genital herpes simplex infection (HSV) was suspected and valacyclovir was given orally. However, serial viral cultures performed 7 weeks apart did not isolate HSV as suspected, but CMV was confirmed by immunofluorescence and early antigen research. Blood tests confirmed an acute CMV infection. Typical inclusions were found at histology. Symptoms resolved slowly with persistence of cervical lesions at 7 weeks from diagnosis. The frequency of CMV genital infection is probably underestimated. The infection is not always asymptomatic and might be confused with genital HSV infection. The clinical course is longer.

Pleural empyema is a rare and serious complication of pneumonia. Although it is frequently seen in children, there are only a few reports about pleural empyema in newborn infants. Here we report a case of early onset neonatal pneumonia complicated with pleural empyema. The causal microorganism was group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (GAS or Streptococcus pyogenes) presumably originating from the mother, who had a puerperal infection. The mother had fever, pelvic pain, and abnormal vaginal discharge two days after delivery and subsequent increase in the antistreptolysin O titer, suggesting streptococcus infection. The patient was successfully treated by pleural drainage in addition to synergistic antimicrobial therapy.
