Endometrial cavity-myoma fistula after uterine artery embolization diagnosed by pelvic MRI: case report

Uterine cavity-myoma fistula is a rare entity which has scarcely been reported in the literature. They are mainly secondary to a treatment and intervention. The reported options for patient evaluation and treatment are mainly invasive such as hysteroscopy. The case, described here, is a 26-year-old...

description Uterine cavity-myoma fistula is a rare entity which has scarcely been reported in the literature. They are mainly secondary to a treatment and intervention. The reported options for patient evaluation and treatment are mainly invasive such as hysteroscopy. The case, described here, is a 26-year-old woman who had significant symptoms for myoma and went through uterine artery embolization. After few months of being asymptomatic, she complained of continuous spotting with minimal pain; subsequently, pelvic MRI was performed and a clear connection between endometrial cavity and myoma was shown resulting in the final treatment by radio-frequency ablation and the complete relief of the symptoms. The case highlights the importance of the necessity of the proper case selection in terms of size and the site of myoma and also the significance of imaging, mainly MRI, for rare complications corresponding to myoma treatments.
