Intramural ectopic pregnancy: a case report A rare condition of ectopic pregnancy, with potential severe consequences if not diagnosed and treated early, is the intramural one. Here, we report the case of a woman with intramural pregnancy. The first suspicion of the presence of such a condition emerged while doing a transvaginal sonography, after which it was decided to excise the mass in order...

Cervical ectopic pregnancy (EP) is an infrequent, life-threatening form of ectopic gestation pregnancy that implants within the endocervical canal. With the increase in use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) worldwide and more liberal use of transvaginal sonography (TVS) during early pregnancy, more cases of cervical ectopic pregnancy are being diagnosed. Early diagnosis of this conditio...

Adenomyosis is a benign pathology with a marked impact on women in reproductive age. The prevalence of adenomyosis ranges from 5 to 70%. Dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and infertility often occur, while a third of the women is asymptomatic. This pictorial review focuses on the peculiar patterns of presentation in adenomyosis. They are identified by means of non-inv...

audal regression syndrome (CRS) represents a continuum of congenital anomalies that may include incomplete development of the sacrum and, to a lesser extent, the lumbar vertebrae, disruption of the distal spinal cord, and extreme lack of growth of the caudal region.1 First-trimester prenatal diagnosis of CRS is challenging because of incomplete ossification of the sacrum at that time.2 Most cas...

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare and the preoperative diagnosis is often misdiagnosed as an ovarian carcinoma. We report a patient with primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube, strongly suspected preoperatively on the basis of characteristic clinical symptoms, elevated CA125 levels, and transvaginal sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging finding...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) can present with menorrhagia or metrorrhagia but cannot indicate the cause of bleeding, so further investigation is always needed. This study aimed to assess role Saline infusion sonography (SIS) in evaluating intracavitary lesions comparison transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and thereby short listing patients for hysteroscopy.Methods: prospective analyti...

Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is now the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy with overall reported sensitivities of>90%. Specific sonographic criteria exist for the diagnosis of tubal and non-tubal pregnancies including cervical and caesarean section scar pregnancies. Diagnosis is based on the visualization of an ectopic mass rather than the inability to visualize ...

Transabdominal gynecologic ultrasound combined with transvaginal scanning is a technique that was initially introduced in the early 1980’s and quickly became a “musthave” procedure for gynecologists and emergency room physicians for assistance in diagnosing many gynecologic conditions. Rapid advances in the quality of the equipment, techniques used to obtain best images, and research designed t...
