To investigate alterations in brain pain-processing networks using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in women with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain and to evaluate neurobiological evidence of central sensitization relevant …
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs …
Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome was first identified by Purslow in 1922 as a result of abnormal embryologic development of the Müllerian (paramesonephric) and Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts. The …
To report a case of polypoid ovarian endometrioma mimicking malignant transformation, review the literature on this rare entity, and highlight its implications for surgical management and fertility preservation.
Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it …
Endometriosis affects 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and impaired quality of life. The endometriosis fertility index (EFI) predicts spontaneous pregnancy postoperatively, …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
Mullerian anomalies are frequently associated with endometriosis, particularly in the presence of genital tract obstruction; however, the anatomical distribution and determinants of disease in this population remain incompletely characterized. Most …
Rectosigmoid endometriosis is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction and may closely mimic colorectal malignancy, particularly when imaging findings are nonspecific. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who …
