Normal ovaries on transvaginal ultrasound, but?


These ovaries are apparently normal on transvaginal ultrasound imaging. But are they really?
Though ovarian volume is within normal limits, they are on the higher side of normal. 
Also, there are multiple follicles along the rim of the ovaries.

This patient may be headed for polycystic ovary disease or PCOD and needs follow up sonography.
