This review focuses on non-invasive imaging techniques that have proven useful in diagnosing adenomyosis, including hysterosalpingography, transabdominal and endovaginal ultrasound, as well as magnetic resonance imaging. An understanding of the histopathological features of this disease is crucial when attempting to interpret the associated imaging findings. The muscular hyperplasia accompanyin...

BACKGROUND Adenomyomectomy has recently been considered the priority option for the treatment of adenomyosis, however, the surgical efficacy and modes are still debated. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic adenomyomectomy using a double-flap method for the treatment of uterine diffuse adenomyosis when compared with conventional laparoscopic adenomyomectomy. METHODS Laparoscopic ...

The details of surgical techniques for laparoscopic removal of endometriosis and adenomyosis are described briefly in textbooks and gynaecological journal articles. We have described a wide variety of techniques for the various procedures required in the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis, excluding hysterectomy. The principles are based upon those used in removal of primary cancer lesi...

Twelve women with endometriosis (7 with external endometriosis and 5 adenomyosis) and 15 with normal ovulatory cycles were studied. Laparoscopy and/or laparotomy were performed in patients with external endometriosis and histological examination was made in patients with adenomyosis, The revised American Fertility Scociety classification3' was used for determining clinical stage. In 7 external ...

Abstract Background Unprovoked spontaneous uterine rupture in a primigravid unscarred uterus is rare but serious obstetric complication. Our case highlights prelabour primiparous patient with an anterior placenta praevia and transverse lie at 32 weeks. Case presentation The presented severe continuous abdominal pain abnormal Cardiotocograph antenatally. An emergency Caesarean section done suspi...

PURPOSE To study the therapeutic effects of uterine artery embolization (UAE) on adenomyosis and to investigate the association between uterine blood supply and artery embolization treatment outcomes. METHODS Using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) imaging data, we retrospectively evaluated the vascular features of 252 adenomyosis patients treated with UAE. The cases were classified based...

Adenomyosis that is a form of endometriosis is the growth of ectopic endometrial tissue within the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium), which may cause dysmenorrhea and infertility. Endocannabinoid mediated apoptotic mechanisms of endometriosis and adenomyosis are not known. We hypothesized that the down regulation of endocannabinoid receptors and/or alteration in their regulatory enzymes ...

BACKGROUND To assess reduction in heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea following MRI guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) of focal and diffuse adenomyosis up to 12 months post-treatment a retrospective cohort study was done at a tertiary care academic medical center for obstetrics, gynecology and infertility. METHODS MRgFUS for adenomyosis uterus was done for thirty-seven patients ...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the common gynecological problem and the causes varies among different age groups. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of adenomyosis among hysterectomy samples of rural patients and associated pathological lesions as a cause for abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods: A retrospective cross sectional study was carried out in patholog...

To evaluate the performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating uterine fibroids from focal adenomyosises. Twenty-five uterine fibroids and 21 focal adenomyosises prospectively underwent IVIM-DWI examination prior to surgery. Four parameters including apparent diffusion coefficient total values (ADCtot), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseu...
