Adenomyosis is frequent, mostly asymptomatic. A hypertrophy of the smooth muscular cells around ectopic endometrial glands might induce a compressive syndrome. We report the case of an embolization of a voluminous adenomyosic uterus which h…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to define relevant MRI signs allowing preoperative diagnosis of posterior cul-de-sac obliteration in patients with deep pelvic endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included…

MRI has emerged for several years as the imaging examination of second-line indications in the majority of female pelvic imaging, after ultrasonography. Recent technical advances have allowed the widespread use of new MRI sequences, allowin…

OBJECTIVE: MRI was the first imaging technique to permit the visualization of the uterine junctional zone and remains the imaging method of choice to evaluate it and its associated pathology. CONCLUSION: Adenomyosis can be diagnosed using M…

PurposeProspective monocentric study to determine the feasibility, tolerability and diagnostic value of intravaginal contrast to assess female pelvic anatomy on MRI.Materials and methodsForty-nine consecutive women referred for MRI evaluati…

ObjectiveTo study the sensitivity of MRI performed utilising vaginal and rectal opacification with ultrasound gel in the detection of deep pelvic endometriosis.Material and methodsThis was a prospective monocentric study. All patients evalu…

Endometriosis is a frequent pathology of adult women. Clinical examination and US are poorly sensitive for detection of deep pelvic implants and MRI is superior for presurgical mapping of disease extent. This is important to optimize comple…

A 39-year-old patient was evaluated for pelvic pain and infection following a surgical abortion performed via aspiration curettage. A pelvic computed tomography (CT) revealed an invagination of fat in the uterine wall accompanied by an absc…
