| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Cervical dilatation and/or uterine evacuation and curettage (D/E&C) is the most commonly performed and safest gynecological procedure. Although procedure-related uterine perforation is rare, this condition may require surgical intervention. Ultrasound examination and computed tomography are useful for diagnosing such perforations with incarceration of an intra-abdominal organ. However, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting postabortal uterine damage has seldom been discussed in the literature. CASE REPORT: A 31-year-old woman was referred to our department for lower abdominal pain and a small amount of vaginal bleeding 28 days after D/E&C for a missed abortion. Transvaginal ultrasound examination showed the presence of a hyperechogenic structure in the anterior wall of the uterine body, which was verified to be fatty tissue by MRI, particularly on the fat-suppressed T1-weighted images. An emergency laparotomy showed a uterine perforation with omentum incarceration. After dissecting the omental loop, the uterine perforation site was incised, and the involved omental tissue was debrided appropriately. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report wherein MRI was used for the detection of incarcerated omental fat within the uterus. Delayed presentation of uterine perforation may be observed 1 month or more after D/E&C, although such a finding is extremely rare. Therefore, postabortal follow-up bimanual vaginal examination using transvaginal ultrasonography is recommended. The current study indicates the usefulness of MRI when myometrial perforation with or without incarceration of an extrauterine organ is suspected. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
