Nadir Bir Pelvik Ağrı Nedeni: Uterus Rudimenter Hornu İçerisinde Dejenere Miyom

Giriş: Farklı konjenital uterin anomalilerde tedavi seçenekleri önemli ölçüde değişebilmektedir, bu nedenle operasyon öncesi görüntüleme kritik önem arzetmektedir. Olgu Sunumu: Pelvik ağrı ve kusma şikayetleri olan 29 yaşında bayan hasta USG ve pelvik MRG ile değerlendirildi. USG’de pelvik bölgede dejenere miyomu düşündüren hipoekoik kitle saptandı. Bunun üzerine over kitlesi ekartasyonu için pelvik MRG yapıldı ve MRG’de dejenere miyom görüldü. Miyom uterus sağ tarafında rudimenter horn içerisinde idi. Görünüm laparatomi ile doğrulandı. Sonuç: Akut pelvik patolojilerde USG ilk tercih olmakla birlikte konjenital anomalierin tanısında MRG daha üstündür.

A Rare Cause of Pelvic Pain: Degenerated Myoma Within a Rudimentary Horn of Unicornuate Uterus

Introduction: Treatment options for the different congenital uterine abnormalities of the uterus vary considerably; therefore, preoperative imaging plays a crucial role in the management. Case Report: A 29-year-old woman who had pelvic pain and vomiting, were examined with pelvic ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A hypoechoic pelvic mass was detected via ultrasound. A degenerated myoma was estimated, but to exclude a mass from the right ovary, a pelvic MRI was performed. The degenerated myoma was considered and was located in the rudimentary horn of the right side of the uterus. This appearance was confirmed by laparotomy.Conclusion: Although ultrasound is the first imaging modality for acute pelvic pathologies, magnetic resonance imaging is superior to ultrasound in evaluating the congenital abnormalities of the uterus
