Acute Gynaecological Conditions in Adolescents. Challenges with Differential Diagnosis (Case Reports)

Objective of the Paper: To demonstrate possible challenges with differential diagnosis of adenomyosis and abnormal uterus development in practical paediatric gynaecology. Key Points. We presented two cases of teenage girls with similar clinical symptoms in various diseases: nodular adenomyosis, which is rare for adolescents, and abnormal uterus development. Despite a full range of clinical and instrumental examinations (MRI, ultrasound examinations), it is only laparoscopy that allowed identifying the cause of pain. Conclusion. It is advisable to active use minimally invasive surgical procedures in paediatric inpatient units. Clinical recommendations and medical aid procedures for this urgent pathology are required to facilitate decision-making by medical professionals to apply endosurgical methods of therapy. Keywords: paediatric gynaecology, pain syndrome, differential diagnosis, adenomyosis, abnormal uterus development.
