Abstract We report two patients with endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum in whom endovaginal ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) played crucial roles in the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of the disease. The specific features of endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum on MRI and transvaginal US enable a noninvasive diagnosis, thereby reducing diagnostic delay and avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.
