Adenomyosis is a benign invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the uterine myometrium. [1, 2]. It can present with heavy and painful menstrual bleeding or be asymptomatic [2-4]. Over last three decades the diagnosis of adenomyosis h…

Endometriosis is a common problem affecting 5-10% of women of childbearing age. It is a condition with unknown pathology, leaving us with several theories. However, about half of women with endometriosis complain of difficulty conceiving. T…

It is defined by the presence of endometriosis in macroscopically normal-looking tissue. Even though there have been further studies, the meaning of OME is still unclear. Firstly, it could have an important status in the pathogenesis of end…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder that is defined as functional endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. It is an estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that leads to symptoms of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareuni…

Abstract Endometriosis is characterized by growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus affecting many women in their reproductive age, causing years of pelvic pain and potential infertility. Its pathophysiology remains largely u…

BACKGROUND: Juvenile cystic adenomyoma is a rare condition that is often misdiagnosed as a noncommunicating uterine horn or adnexal mass during adolescence. CASES: We describe two patients who presented with dysmenorrhea unresponsive to sta…

Introduction: Endometriosis involving a surgical scar occurs in 1%–2% of patients after cesarean section. There are three theories of pathogenesis: direct seeding of endometrium during surgery, distal migration by hematogenous or lymphatic …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic disease manifested by pain and infertility due to ectopic implantation of endometrial glands and stroma causing inflammation. Treatment of endometriosis utilizes a significant amount of health-care r…

ABSTRACT The association between adenomyosis, assisted reproductive technology outcomes, and pregnancy complications is well established. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the most common sonographic features of adenomyo…

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of 3D TVS to detect morphological alterations of JZ in infertile patients affected by pelvic endometriosis and to correlate the findings to the laparoscopic stage of endometriosis. We evaluat…

Endometriosis is a chronic and recurrent condition affecting 6-10% of women of a reproductive age. It results from implantation of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Treatment f…

The uterine junctional zone (JZ) seems to play an integral part in the implantation process. The coronal section of the uterus obtained by three dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonographic (TVS) permits an accurate evaluation of the JZ. An al…
