Abstract:Classic polycystic ovarian syndrome is described as bilateral ovarian involvement. Rotterdam consensus has defined unilateral polycystic ovary also. Very few studies are in literature regarding unilaterality of PCO and still less in adolescent single PCO. Clinical and ultrasound characteristics of 144 adolescent girls with PCOS were collected as part of a prospective cohort study and this data was used to compare unilateral and bilateral PCO. The objectives are to compare the clinical and Ultrasound characters of girls having PCOS and unilateral PCO with those having bilateral involvement and to study the clinical and ultrasound features of girls having PCOS and no polycystic ovariesData collected from 144 adolescents diagnosed to have PCOS as part of a community study was used. Appropriate statistical methods were used to find out significant association between the variables.No significant differences were noted regarding the variables between unilateral and bilateral PCO. Adolescents with PCOS did not exhibit any difference in their clinical behaviour depending on number of ovaries involved. Keywords:Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), adolescent.
