Genital malformations in children are usually studied by abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but in the last few years, 3D endoanal ultrasonography (3D EUS) has been gaining an increasing interest in the pediatric world. In females 3D EUS can be used to investigate ovaries, uterovaginal malformations both isolated and associated to anorectal malformations, and other particular conditions affecting pelvic organs. In males it is possible to study the prostate and the malformations involving posterior urethra. In this chapter we explore possible applications of 3D endoanal sonography in the detection of urogenital malformations and other conditions in children.

Abstract
Genital malformations in children are usually studied by abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but in the last few years, 3D endoanal ultrasonography (3D EUS) has been gaining an increasing interest in the pediatric world. In females 3D EUS can be used to investigate ovaries, uterovaginal malformations both isolated and associated to anorectal malformations, and other particular conditions affecting pelvic organs. In males it is possible to study the prostate and the malformations involving posterior urethra. In this chapter we explore possible applications of 3D endoanal sonography in the detection of urogenital malformations and other conditions in children.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
