Mr Findings of Ejaculatory Duct Cysts

I-2: Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction

Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) underlies 1-5% of male infertility, although the diagnosis of EDO can be complex, treatment is well established and can be very effective. Part of reason that this condition probably is underdiagnosed, is because of its rarity, subtle presentation and the concomitantly low index of suspicion held by physicians. The causes of EDO are divided into congenital and...

Ejaculatory duct obstruction.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW We surveyed the growing literature on ejaculatory duct obstruction and provide suggestions regarding its diagnosis and management. RECENT FINDINGS Ejaculatory duct obstruction is a rare cause of male infertility. With the advent of the high resolution transurethral ultrasound (TRUS) technology, there has been an increase in diagnosis of this disorder. As for the treatment, i...

Nonovarian gynecologic cysts: MR imaging findings.

MR imaging has improved the detection and characterization of cysts arising in the ovaries. Although they are less common, cysts also can develop in the endocervical glands (nabothian cysts), labia (Bartholin’s cysts), vaginal wall (Gartner’s cysts), and broad ligament (paratubal cysts). Findings on pelvic MR imaging were reviewed to determine the preyalence and MR features of gynecologic cysts...

Rathke cleft cysts: correlation of enhanced MR and surgical findings.

PURPOSE To describe the gadolinium-enhanced MR findings of Rathke cleft cyst correlate them with the surgical findings, and define those preoperative findings that differentiate this lesion from other sellar and juxtasellar tumors. METHODS We studied 18 patients who were diagnosed as having Rathke cleft cyst pathologically. These patients were imaged with T1- and T2-weighted coronal and sagit...
