MR Imaging of Endometriosis Arising in Cesarean Section Scar
Abstract
Endometriosis of the abdominal wall is rare and usually arises in a surgical incision. Magnetic resonance (MR) has been used to evaluate endometriosis of the ovaries. A case of endometriosis in a cesarean section scar is presented and evaluated with CT and MR.

“At this moment, to our knowledge, several case reports and a few cohorts, up to eight patients using MR imaging in AWE, have been described in the literature [1, 7, 14–17].”

In the citing paper
“In these studies, endometriosis appeared homogeneously hypointense or isointense, or heterogeneous with focal areas of high and low signal intensity, suggesting old haemorrhage or fibrosis on T2-weighted and T1-weighted fat-suppressed imaging.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
