Uterine perforation with omentum incarceration after dilatation and evacuation/curettage: magnetic resonance imaging findings

摘要

Introduction Cervical dilatation and/or uterine evacuation and curettage (D/E&C) is the most commonly performed and safest gynecological procedure. Although procedure-related uterine perforation is rare, this condition may require surgical intervention. Ultrasound examination and computed tomography are useful for diagnosing such perforations with incarceration of an intra-abdominal organ. However, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting postabortal uterine damage has seldom been discussed in the literature.
