Abstract
Endometriosis, a chronic condition that often starts in adolescence, can have a significant impact on quality of life due to symptoms of dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. Although laparoscopy with direct visualization and pathologic correlation is the reference standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis, some authors have called for a greater emphasis on clinical diagnosis - including imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides highly reproducible, large field of view, multiplanar, and multiparametric imaging of pelvic endometriosis and is well tolerated in adolescent patients. As such, pediatric radiologists need to be familiar with the manifestations of endometriosis on MRI and how these findings may differ from those seen in adult populations.
