72-year-old woman with vaginal bleeding Sagittal fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 10.18.1) demonstrate an ill-defined mass in the endometrial cavity that extends into the myometrium of the uterine fundus superiorly and protrudes into the lower uterine segment. There are multiple round, T2-hypointense fibroids within the uterine body and fundus. Notice the bulky, heterogeneously enhancing mass centered in the vagina and extending anteriorly to encase the urethra and bladder base and abutting the rectum posteriorly. Axial FSE T2-weighted image through the inferior pelvis (...

31-year-old woman with stress urinary incontinence Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 8.2.1) demonstrate a small round structure anterior to the urethra emerging from the bladder base. A sagittal FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 8.2.2) shows 2 urethras extending from the base of the bladder, and a similar appearance is shown on an image from a voiding cystourethrogram (...

Background. Uterine inversion is a rare, but life threatening, obstetrical emergency which occurs when the uterine fundus collapses into the endometrial cavity. Various conservative and surgical therapies have been outlined in the literature for the management of uterine inversions.Case. We present a case of a chronic, recurrent uterine inversion, which was diagnosed following spontaneous vaginal delivery and recurred seven weeks later. The uterine inversion was likely due to a leiomyoma. This late-presenting, chronic, recurring uterine inversion was treated with a vaginal hysterectomy.Conclusion. Uterine inversions can occur in both acute and chronic phases. Persistent vaginal bleeding with the appearance of a prolapsing fibroid should prompt further investigation for uterine inversion and may require surgical therapy. A vaginal hysterectomy may be an appropriate management option in select populations and may be considered in women who do not desire to maintain reproductive function.

The B-Lynch uterine suture brace is a relatively new technique used for treatment of postpartum haemorrhage. These uterine compression sutures have achieved hemostasis while preserving fertility in many women and thus their efficacy and safety have been time tested. Very few complications have been reported following B Lynch suture. These include Asherman’s syndrome, hematometra, pyometra, localized areas of uterine necrosis and full-thickness defects in the lower uterine segment or uterine fundus and erosion of uterine wall. Herewith, reporting a case of 23-year-old woman who underwent cesarean section for breech presentation. She had atonic PPH for which uterine artery ligation was done along with B-lynch suture. She developed uterine necrosis for which hysterectomy was done. Microsections showed that endometrial cavity was filled with gangrenous slough extending to variable extent in myometrium and cervix.

74-year-old man with a penile prosthesis and a new enlargement and discomfort of the right penile shaft Sagittal fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 12.7.1) through the right corporus cavernosum demonstrates fluid surrounding the cylinder of the penile prosthesis. Note also the focal angulation at the base of the cylinder with discontinuity of the prosthesis components. Sagittal oblique postinflation FSE T2-weighted images (...

57-year-old asymptomatic woman with a pelvic mass palpated during routine physical examination Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 11.10.1) reveal a large cystic lesion in the pelvis, with a partial septation anteriorly. Coronal FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 11.10.2) shows similar findings. An axial FSE T1-weighted image (...

Caesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy (CSEP) is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. We present a 30 year female presented with 8 weeks of amenorrhea. Her obstetric history was G3P2D2. Her B HCG levels were >10,000 IU/L. She had history of previous 2 lower uterine segment Caesarean section. She was referred to our hospital in stage of severe hypovolemic shock related to vaginal bleeding. USG findings were suggestive of death of fetus of about 6 weeks 5 days. Gestational -sac at lower uterine segment Caesarean section scar level. Radiological diagnosis was? Scar pregnancy. On histopathology diagnosed as Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy with area of rupture in anterolateral wall of lower uterine segment and upper cervix. The endometrium was unremarkable. We are presenting this case for its rarity, clinical radiological and histopathological findings. Key words: Scar ectopic pregnancy, Uterine rupture, Gestation, Caesarean section.

52-year-old woman with an enlarging mass in her lower abdomen Axial FSE T1-weighted image (Figure 14.12.1) and fat-suppressed T2-weighted images (Figure 14.12.2) reveal a large pelvic mass that is mildly hypointense relative to skeletal muscle on the T1-weighted image and heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2-weighted images with a region of focal scarring anteriorly. Axial postgadolinium 2D SPGR images (...

48-year-old woman with an abdominal mass noted on physical examination Coronal oblique FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 10.21.1), axial fat-suppressed SSFP images (Figure 10.21.2), and postgadolinium sagittal 3D SPGR images (Figure 10.21.3) demonstrate a large, complex mass arising from the uterine fundus. The mass has both cystic and solid components and shows heterogeneous enhancement after gadolinium administration....
