Abstract

Improvements in antenatal imaging have resulted in greater detection of genitourinary pathology in the female fetus such as ovarian cyst, hydrocolpos and cloacal malformation. Postnatal US imaging follow-up is initially indicated in these children and will contribute significantly to the subsequent management plan, including the timing and nature of imaging follow-up. US is the first line investigation for a suspected abdominopelvic mass, inguinal hernia or labial mass. This chapter will review the role of diagnostic imaging in the neonate or young child with suspected ovarian or genital tract pathology.
