[Proposal for a purely echographic classification of the polycystic ovary syndrome].
The authors analyze the application of ultrasonography in the morphological classification of PCO and standardize the types into three groups, which are directly linked in their progression from I to III with ovarian dimensions, with the number of follicular cysts and with the age of the patients, and which are inversely linked with the quantity of ovarian stroma and with the dimensions of the follicles themselves. Their conclusions regarding this auxiliary technique of examination and of prognostic and therapeutic evaluation are definitely positive.
