TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - The use of the colposcope in the diagnosis of sexual abuse in the pediatric age group JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Woodling, B. A. A1 - Heger, Astrid SP - 111 EP - 114 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - This brief communication by Woodling and Heger on the use of colposcopy in the assessment of children who may have been sexually exploited raises some interesting and exciting new dimensions to our diagnostic approach. These are presented by the authors as early findings. The readers should note that standards have not yet been established completely, and findings in normal children need to be further delineated, especially for young girls who are athletically inclined, e.g., gymnists as well as victims of accidental genital trauma. Our field urgently awaits these data.
