MRI of endometriosis in correlation with the #Enzian classification: applicability and structured report.

Endometriosis represents one of the most common causes of life-impacting chronic pelvic pain and female infertility. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an increasing role in the diagnosis and mapping of endometriosis, while diagnostic laparoscopy currently tends to be reserved for the patients with negative imaging results. The #Enzian, published in 2021, proposes a new comprehensive classification system of endometriosis, combining a complete staging of deep infiltrative endometriosis with the evaluation of peritoneal/ovarian/tubal localizations and the presence of adenomyosis.

MRI of female genital tract congenital anomalies: European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines.

Objective: To develop imaging guidelines for the MR work-up of female genital tract congenital anomalies (FGTCA).

Methods: These guidelines were prepared based on a questionnaire sent to all members of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group (FPI-WG), critical review of the literature and expert consensus decision.

Results: The returned questionnaires from 17 different institutions have shown reasonable homogeneity of practice.

European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Guidelines: MR Imaging of Leiomyomas.

Objective: The aim of the Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) was to develop imaging guidelines for MR work-up in patients with known or suspected uterine leiomyomas.

Methods: Guidelines for imaging uterine leiomyomas were defined based on a survey distributed to all members of the working group, an expert consensus meeting at European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2017 and a critical review of the literature.

Results: The 25 returned questionnaires as well as the expert consensus meeting have shown reasonable homogeneity of practice among institutions.

Preprocedural MRI and MRA in planning fibroid embolization.

This pictorial review aims to discuss and illustrate the up-to-date use of preprocedural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in selecting patients and planning uterine artery embolization (UAE). The merits of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in demonstrating the pelvic vasculature to guide UAE are highlighted. MRI features of fibroids and their main differential diagnoses are presented.

Rectovaginal Splenosis: An Unexpected Cause of Dyspareunia Approached by Laparoscopy.

Study Objective: To demonstrate the technique of laparoscopic approach in a rare case of rectovaginal splenosis with severe dyspareunia and dyschesia.

Design: A step-by-step explanation of the patient's condition, diagnosis, surgical technique, and postoperative results (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).

Setting: Splenosis consists of ectopic functioning splenic tissue that can be located anywhere within the abdomen or pelvis.

Voice analysis after cancer treatment with organ preservation.

Background: This cross-sectional study objects to measure, subjectively and objectively, the voice and life quality of patients with oral cavity, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer, after organ-preservation treatment.

Methods: 25 cases diagnosed and treated at a high complexity oncology center in southeastern Brazil. All had oral cavity, pharyngeal or laryngeal cancer, with a therapeutic proposal of radiotherapy alone or simultaneous radiochemotherapy.

[Etiological aspects of anterior open bite and its implications to the oral functions].

Background: Open bite is a complex anomaly that has a difficult treatment. Frequently, unsatisfactory results and relapse of orthodontic treatment are observed.

Aim: To associate orofacial malfunction and deleterious oral habits to anterior open bite.
