Abstract
Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. The standard gold diagnosis for endometriosis is the surgery. For surgical planning, the imaging diagnosis is fundamental to obtain complete excision and patient's treatment. The transvaginal ultrasounds after bowel preparation should be the first line in the diagnosis and endometriosis staging. Magnetic Resonance imaging provides complementary information and its always necessary in cases with ureteral involvement, extensions adhesions, heterogeneous ovarian cysts and large uterus. The aim of this study is to describe and illustrate radiologic signs, surgery and pathologic correlations of deep endometriosis, from a reference Center, presenting a pre surgical protocol study using ultrasound technique and magnetic resonance imaging. This presentation is dedicated to the evaluation of: uterus, retrocervical and retrouterine regions, uterosacral ligaments, uterine insertion of the round ligaments, Douglas pouch, ovaries and adnexal regions, vagina, rectovaginal septum, bladder, urinary system, intestinal lesions (rectosigmoid colon, sigmoid descending, colon transition, vermiform appendix, ileum and ceccum).
