Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Deep pelvic endometriosis may involve the uterosacral ligaments, the pouch of Douglas, the vagina, the rectum, and occasionally the bladder. Assessment by physical examination is difficult, and imaging techniques are needed to evaluate the location and extent of endometriosis. In this review, we describe transvaginal and rectal endoscopic sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging features suggestive of deep pelvic endometriosis and their diagnostic performance.
