119. Sclerosing Stromal Ovarian Tumors: A Rare Cause of Primary Amenorrhea and Hyperandrogenism in Adolescents
Sclerosing stromal tumors (SST) of the ovary are extremely rare sex cord-stromal tumors with about 200 cases reported in the literature. Most patients (70%) are between 14 and 29 years, and present with nonspecific symptoms of menstrual irregularity and pelvic pain. SSTs are usually benign, unilateral, well-circumscribed, non-hormone producing masses. This case describes a rare androgen-producing SST in an adolescent presenting with primary amenorrhea.

121. Staged Vaginal Reconstruction for Distal Vaginal Atresia with Interval Buccal Graft Vaginoplasty followed by Anastomosis to Native Upper Vagina: A Novel Surgical Approach
Definitive management for distal vaginal atresia is surgical, most commonly with pull-through vaginoplasty. If the proximal vagina is> 3cm from the introitus, the risk of stenosis with this procedure is high. However, current alternatives to pull-through vaginoplasty are limited and have included the use of graft tissue with less desirable properties (including bowel neovagina) to overcome the challenges of an atretic native vagina. Here, we describe a staged vaginal reconstruction using buccal graft vaginoplasty followed by interval anastomosis to native upper vagina performed for a 12-year-old with distal vaginal atresia...

122. Surgical Management and Postoperative Complications in Adolescents with Pathology Proven Endometriosis
Adolescents with significant dysmenorrhea may have endometriosis. When medical management is unsuccessful or unsatisfactory, some choose laparoscopy alone or with other procedures to potentially diagnose and/or treat endometriosis. ACOG calls for a shared medical decision making regarding diagnostic laparoscopy. However, risks associated with laparoscopy specific to this patient population are not well described. This multi-institutional study sought to characterize intraoperative management and complications for adolescents with pathology confirmed endometriosis.

123. Suspected MRKH in the setting of primary amenorrhea and VACTERL
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, affecting 1 in 5000 females, is a mullerian anomaly characterized by uterovaginal malformation with the diagnosis typically following investigation of primary amenorrhea (1). Vater Syndrome (VACTERL) is a broad term describing a constellation of congenital abnormalities with an estimated incidence of 1 in 10,000 to 40,000 births (2). Here we present a case of MRKH with co-existing VACTERL to highlight commonalities in presentation with the goal to improve knowledge, early identification, and opportunities for research.

126. The Sexual and Reproductive Health Concerns of Youth Experiencing Homelessness Presenting to an Urban Pediatric Emergency Department: a descriptive study
Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) have high rates of both mental and physical health concerns, including a higher rate of sexual assault, pregnancy and STIs as compared to youth in the general population. YEH face multiple barriers in accessing care, resulting in reliance on Emergency Departments (ED). The use of the pediatric ED by YEH in Canada, including for sexual and reproductive (SRH) concerns, is not well described; additionally, there is no Canadian data exploring the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic/lockdown on ED presentations by this population.

127. The Twisted Tail of a Hair Tourniquet
Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS) is a rare, potentially dangerous disorder typically involving hair or synthetic fibers wrapped around fingers or toes of infants and children, but can also involve the genitals It is a medical emergency that can result in appendage amputation, it is imperative for PAG, ER physicians, and pediatricians to rapidly identify and consider this as a differential diagnosis. The goal of this case study is to bring awareness to the clinical presentation of HTTS of the labia, treatment, and review current literature for best management practices.

129. Urethro-vaginal Fistula in the Setting of a Vaginal Foreign Body - Diagnosis and Treatment
Vaginal foreign bodies are a rare but important cause of persistent genitourinary complaints in the pediatric and adolescent population. Most foreign bodies are easily removed with vaginoscopy or lavage. There are few reported cases of fistula formation due to vaginal foreign body, with even fewer being in the pediatric population.

130. Use of Digital Flashcards for Reproductive Health Counseling among Adolescents
Adolescents may view reproductive health topics as difficult to understand, and there is limited research about adolescent health literacy. Visual aids can be utilized to illustrate concepts that are difficult to comprehend. In the clinic setting, large models or posters may not be readily available, but cell phone use is ubiquitous. The purpose of this study is to determine whether digital flashcards on a provider's cell phone are helpful in educating adolescents about reproductive health.

131. VACTERL-Gynecologic: time for a change to standardize screening for patients with an anorectal malformation
For the patient with an anorectal malformation (ARM), it is an immediate trigger to perform a VACTERL workup because of the well-known association of other organ anomalies. However, sometimes forgotten in the female patient, is to assess for gynecologic abnormalities. It is well established that 2.2-52.6% of patients with ARMs may have a Mullerian anomaly and VACTERL does increase this risk. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)

132. Video-Assisted Strategy for Reducing Adolescent Anxiety in Gynecologic Care: A Quality Improvement Initiative
Many pediatric and adolescent patients have anxiety about their experience and privacy prior to visiting the gynecologist for the first time, with previous studies identifying that these concerns may even prevent or delay care in adolescent patients. In recent years social media has also been shown to have significant negative influences on this population. The aim of this study is to develop an informational video to reduce patient anxiety, improve patient education, and improve outcomes for patients.

133. Vulvar Psoriasis in a Young Renal Transplant Recipient
Vulvar psoriasis is more common in the pediatric population than in adults. Isolated genital psoriasis occurs in 2-5% of all patients. Psoriasis has been noted as a skin manifestation in renal transplant recipients. It is important to consider psoriasis in the differential diagnosis in children with renal transplant and signs of vulvitis. (Source: Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology)
