Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue “Diagnostic imaging in Reproduction and Endometriosis”.

Exploring the intersection of medical imaging and reproductive health, this Special Issue will delve into the crucial role of imaging techniques in diagnosing endometriosis and fertility issues. Unraveling the complexities of these conditions requires a nuanced understanding of how advanced imaging technologies contribute to precise diagnoses, guiding treatment strategies and fostering a deeper comprehension of reproductive health challenges. Join us as we embark on a journey through the lens of medical imaging to illuminate the path towards improved diagnostics and enhanced patient outcomes in the realm of endometriosis and reproductive issues.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Radoslaw Maksym
Guest Editor

Accurate diagnosis of Müllerian duct anomalies (MDA) remains a clinical challenge even by direct surgical inspection. Although obstetrical complications are more frequent in women with MDA, some subtypes allow normal reproduction, further delaying the diagnosis. Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary non-communicating functioning horn is a rare form of MDA, susceptible to many gynecologic and obstetric complications such as miscarriages, premature birth, hematosalpinx, endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. We present an entire case pictorial assay including preoperative imaging as well as the surgical correction of the uterine anomaly and the associated complication of an occult unicornuate right uterus with rudimentary non-communicating functioning left horn (Class U4aC0V0/ European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology/European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Classification) and its natural evolution following a previous incomplete surgical treatment. The patient had an emergency left adnexectomy for hematosalpinx and ovarian endometrioma at her local county hospital. After five years, the patient presented with severe dysmenorrhea and abdominal endometriosis due to blocked retrograde menstruation from a rudimentary, non-communicating functioning horn. Surgical treatment with the resection of the rudimentary uterine horn, together with the abdominal wall endometriosis lesions, was carried out with good outcomes. Full article
