Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and endometriosis are both chronic inflammatory-mediated conditions, sharing clinical features. The association between IBD and endometriosis remains poorly defined. In a multidisciplinar…

We aimed to evaluate the changes of pelvic endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), over a period of at least 24 months, using #Enzian classification in women who were managed only by medical treatment, without previous surgery. We i…

To diagnose endometriosis in adolescents (12-20yrs) with severe dysmenorrhea through specific ultrasonographic findings and to correlate the symptoms to its different forms: ovarian, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and adenomyosis. Th…

Background: The #Enzian classification represents a system to describe endometriotic lesions during surgery. Its use is well established in correlating ultrasound and surgical findings. Objectives: To describe interobserver reproducibility …

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…

Background: Management of endometriosis should be based on the best available evidence. The pyramid of evidence reflects unbiased observations analysed with traditional statistics. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the clinical interpretatio…

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…

The incidence of endometriosis in middle-aged women is not minimal compared to that in the reproductive age group. The treatment of affected women after childbearing age to the natural transition toward menopause has received considerably p…

In 2015, the international Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group published a consensus on which terminology to use when describing myometrial lesions seen on ultrasonography1. The use of MUSA terminology to describe ultra…

We read with interest the article by Menakaya et al.1 on the importance of accurate sonographic detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). They reported for the study group all details related to location, dimension and overall fea…

The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometriosis. Currently…

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 MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography,…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether there are sonographic features of diffuse adenomyosis in 18-30-year-old nulligravid women without endometriosis and to examine their association with symptoms of dysmenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding.…

OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical history and ultrasound findings in women with decidualized endometriomas surgically removed during pregnancy. METHODS: In this retrospective study, women with a histological diagnosis of decidualized end…

OBJECTIVE: To correlate with histopathological features the adenomyosis-induced morphological alterations of the outer myometrium and the inner myometrium ('junctional zone', JZ) detectable on two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvagin…
