ABSTRACT
The evaluation of abdominal pain in the adolescent female is a common and often challenging problem. The unique anatomy and biology of the postmenarcheal teenager necessitates the consideration of a broad variety of additional genitourinary problems not encountered in the male. Further complicating this issue, the differential diagnoses involves not only pathological considerations, but normal physiological processes that may, in and of themselves, be symptomatic. One must be skillful enough to avoid unnecessary intervention, while aggressively pursuing significant intraabdominal problems. Occasionally, however, only invasive modalities will enable definitive diagnosis, and facility with these techniques significantly enhances both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in these patients.
