PURPOSE: Tubal patency examination is an essential part of the infertility workup; hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) is a recommended substitute for the standard hysterosalpingography (HSG). This study aimed to determine the diagnost…

Four cases of girls with metastases of soft tissue or bone sarcomas to the reproductive system or breasts are reported. Two patients had metastases to the breast from rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the limbs, one had metastases to the ovary from…

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic performance of virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with endometrial cancer (EC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study …

Peritoneal carcinomatosis, which is the most common malignant process of the peritoneal cavity, originates mostly from colorectal, gastric, and gynaecological malignancies. The differential diagnosis is broad and covers primary peritoneal m…

PURPOSE: To verify whether deep learning can be used to differentiate between carcinosarcomas (CSs) and endometrial carcinomas (ECs) using several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study i…

PURPOSE: Pelvic pain, either related or unrelated to menstruation, is especially common in women of reproductive age. Thirty-nine per cent of all women suffer from chronic pelvic pain at some point in their lives, and pelvic venous congesti…

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between adenomyosis and nabothian cyst (NC) in a large patient series. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The patient's data were scanned retrospectively and patients wit…

Endometriosis is a common benign and chronic inflammatory gynaecological disease due to functional endometrial glands and stroma in an ectopic location outside the uterine cavity. It affects 5-10% of reproductive age group women in the peak…

PurposeTransradial arterial access has become more popular in body interventional procedures but has not been ubiquitously adapted. This retrospective study assesses the efficacy of this approach in uterine artery embolization. Aim of the s…

PURPOSE: The diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD), one of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), along with ulcerative colitis (UC), is often challenging due to the limitations of small intestine visualisation. Magnetic resonance enterography …

PURPOSE: To evaluate in three dimensions (3D) the human endosalpinx and reconstruct its surface along its different anatomical segments, without the injection or insertion of luminal contrasts, using confocal microtomography (micro-CT). MA…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this review is to illustrate and discuss the seldom used technique of three-dimensional (3D) saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) based on instillation of sterile saline through a catheter into the uterus under re…

We present case series of four patients with an important syndrome known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome. Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by uterus didelphys with blind hemivagina and ipsila…

BACKGROUND: The aim was to evaluate the clinical Alvarado scoring system and computed tomography (CT) criteria for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. MATERIAL/METHODS: The study was carried out retrospectively in patients who were referr…

BACKGROUND: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly characterised by uterus didelphys with blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Children usually have progressive pelvic pain after menarche, palp…

BackgroundPseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening vascular complication of acute pancreatitis, with a mortality rate of 20-43% in untreated patients. The treatment usually involves trans-arterial embolization or surgical r…

Hysterosalpingography is an imaging method to evaluate the endometrial and uterine morphology and fallopian tube patency. Contrast intravasation implies backflow of injected contrast into the adjoining vessels mostly the veins and may be re…

BACKGROUND: Sciatica has been classically described as pain in the back and hip with radiation in the leg along the distribution of the sciatic nerve, secondary to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Spinal abnormality being the…

BACKGROUND: HWW syndrome is a very rare congenital anomaly of urogenital tract involving Mullerian ducts and mesonephric ducts. It is characterised by a triad of symptoms - uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agene…

BACKGROUND: The classical theory of Müllerian origin of upper vagina fails to explain complex urogenital malformations like OHVIRA syndrome; the Acien's hypothesis, however, unravels the hidden embryopathogenesis. As per Acien, Wolffian (me…

BACKGROUND: Paraganglioma develops from cells of the parasympathetic and sympathetic system. It usually manifests as a slow-growing and painless mass. Peragangliomas may be hereditary, benign or malignant, unilateral or bilateral tumors. Th…

BACKGROUND: One of the most common cardiac tumors is myxoma. Despite its predominantly benign course, diverse cardiological, systemic as well as neurological complications have been reported. CASE REPORT: We are the first from Poland to pr…

In this article, authors presented several characteristic features of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs), which may lead to diagnostic errors and unexpected difficulties during interpretation of CT images. In case of GIST, one may enco…

BACKGROUND: The rupture of ectopic pregnancy (EP) still remains the primary and direct cause of death in the first trimester of pregnancy. Ultrasonography is known to be a modality of choice in EP diagnostics. We found a severe discrepancy …
