Abstract

The accumulation of purulent material in uterine cavity is called as pyometra. It occurs as a result of cervical stenosis. The main symptoms are fever, pain and vaginal discharge. In the diagnosis of pyometra, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior than ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT). If the cases with uterin malformation were only evaluated with computed tomography and purulent material is in one of the cavities, it may be evaluated as pelvic abscess by mistake. In our case misdiagnosed as mentioned, double uterine cavities and purulent material in one of them were detected on MR images. The importance of MRI in diagnosis of cases with pyometra has been emphasized

Özet

Piyometra, uterin kavite içerisinde iltihabi madde birikmesi durumudur. Servikal stenozlar sonucu gelişen bu durumun genel semptomları ateş, ağrı ve enfekte akıntıdır. Tanıda manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG), ultrasonografi (US) ve bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT)’den daha üstündür. Özellikle uterin malformasyonu olan olgular yalnızca BT veya US ile değerlendirildiğinde, eğer enfekte materyal uterin kavitelerden biri içerisinde ise yanlışlıkla ovarian apse olarak değerlendirilebilir ve negatif laparoskopik sonuca yol açabilir. Benzer şekilde yanlış tanı alan bir olguda yapılan MRG incelemesinde, çift uterin kavite ve kavitelerden birinde enfekte materyalin varlığı (piyometra) saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada belirtilen olgu sunularak doğru tanıda MRG’nin değeri vurgulanmıştır.
