Description
Summary:Introduction: An imaging diagnosis after an iterative cesarean delivery is reviewed demonstrating a fine ultrasound-pathologic correlation. Case presentation: A 33-year-old woman (G3, P3) presented referring intense dysmenorrhea and intermenstrual spotting since her third cesarean delivery, 1 year before. A cesarean section dehiscence with utero-peritoneal fistula was diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound. Conclusion: We can conclude that transvaginal two-dimensional power Doppler and threedimensional ultrasound are highly accurate in detecting cesarean section dehiscence and uterine fistula.
