89. Normalizing Normal: Vulvar Anatomy and Medical Education
Given medical education's focus on disease identification and investigation, it is not surprising normal variations of vulvar anatomy are frequently mislabeled as pathology. A need for improved education on this topic has been identified by medical learners. Yet, the most widely used education materials lack anatomic detail and skin of color inclusion. We explored medical students' abilities to identify normal vulvar anatomy, to discover where students access supplementary education and opportunities for curriculum enhancement.

90. Nursing knowledge and confidence survey
Changes in medical practice have led to decreased provider face-to-face time with patients. Healthcare providers are increasingly reliant on nurses to provide patient education during clinic visits. However, lack of knowledge and confidence in educating patients is a significant barrier to the utilization of nurses to enhance the delivery of comprehensive health care by providing health education to patients and families. Postgraduate nursing education is often presented as informal information rather than during dedicated formal education. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

91. OHVIRA with Ectopic Ureter Implanted into the Obstructed Hemivagina: Case Series
We present two cases of prepubertal, symptomatic OHVIRA in an infant and a two year old who both had hydrocolpos from an ectopic ureter draining into the obstructed hemivagina. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

92. Outcomes of an Immediate Postplacental Intrauterine Device Placement Program in Adolescents and Young Adults
Immediate postplacental intrauterine device (IUD) placement is safe and convenient but with increased rates of expulsion and string complications compared to interval placement. While the decision for immediate postplacental IUD placement should be individualized and informed, it may be an effective option to prevent unintended repeat pregnancy. In our county, the teen birth rate is 14% higher than the overall state rate (27.1 per 1,000 teens aged 15 to 19). Further, 1 in 6 is a repeat teen birth.

93. Ovarian Hyperthecosis Resulting in Torsion in a Virilized Adolescent Female: A Case Report
Ovarian hyperthecosis (OH) results in severe hyperandrogenism or virilization, elevated levels of circulating androgens, and bilaterally enlarged ovaries. This clinical picture largely overlaps with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the most commonly diagnosed condition in adolescent females who present with signs of androgen excess and oligomenorrhea. OH is primarily found in the postmenopausal population and is rare in adolescents; thus virilizing symptoms in an adolescent with a pelvic mass prompts concern for an androgen-secreting tumor.

94. Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation in a Patient with Blepharophimosis Ptosis Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome (BPES)
Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES; OMIM: 110100) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by a complex eyelid abnormality, including blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus, and telecanthus. BPES is caused by pathogenic variants in the single-exon gene FOXL2. FOXL2, a forkhead-containing transcription factor, plays an important role in granulosa cell physiology and ovarian development, and has been implicated in various genetic etiologies of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

96. Ovarian Torsion After Oophoropexy: A Retrospective Review Through the NASPAG Fellows Research Consortium
Pediatric ovarian torsion (OT) is rare and occurs more frequently in premenarchal girls, presumably due to prepubertal adnexal anatomy. There is little literature examining the rate of recurrent OT after oophoropexy (OP), though this operation is commonly performed to prevent OT and preserve the gonad. We sought to determine the rate of OT after OP (by plication or fixation) in a pediatric population to determine the success of OP for preventing recurrent OT.

98. Patient characteristics associated with pain remediation one year after endometriosis-related surgery: EndoQUEST
Not all patients with endometriosis will experience pain remediation after surgical treatment, but few predictors of treatment refractory chronic pain are known – especially among adolescents. We therefore assessed behavioral and symptom characteristics prior to surgery as predictors of pain symptoms one year after surgery. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

99. Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG) WebEd: A Review of Online Learning Module Usage
Pediatric and adolescent gynecology (PAG) is a unique sub-specialty for which accessible educational resources and clinical exposure have been limited; surveys show that trainees in obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics agree. In 2014, the North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (NASPAG) introduced PAG WebEd, an original interactive online case-based curriculum designed to bridge this learning gap. As of 2023, there are 35 published PAG WebEd cases with key learning points that present, test, and discuss a variety of current PAG topics. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

102. Perineal Groove: A Rare Congenital Midline Defect in Two Sisters
Perineal groove is a rare congenital anorectal malformation. It is characterized as a non-epithelialized mucous membrane extending from the posterior fourchette of the vagina to the anterior edge of the anal orifice. The presence of a perineal groove is a benign condition, but it is not uncommon for misdiagnosis. Thus, healthcare provider awareness on this rare malformation can prevent inappropriate diagnostic workups and interventions. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)
