    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Radiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Pelvic pneumography has historically been used to evaluate various pediatric pelvic conditions.
    • Indications included precocious puberty, pelvic masses, ambiguous genitalia, and more.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the safety, accuracy, and utility of pelvic pneumography in a pediatric population.
    • To define the current role of pelvic pneumography in pediatric diagnostics.

    Main Methods:

    • Pelvic pneumography was performed on 150 children with diverse pelvic and endocrine-related symptoms.
    • The procedure's safety and ease of performance were evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Pelvic pneumography was found to be safe, accurate, and easy to perform.

  • Despite its efficacy, advancements in sonography have reduced its widespread application.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pelvic pneumography remains a valuable tool for specific pediatric cases, particularly infant intersex conditions.
    • Its primary current indications include confirming idiopathic precocious puberty in infants and very young girls.
