Abstract

The uterine junctional zone (JZ) alterations are correlated with adenomyosis. An accurate evaluation of the JZ may be obtained by 3-dimensional transvaginal sonography (TVS). The aim of the present prospective study was to assess the value of detectable alterations by 3-dimensional TVS of the JZ in patients with pelvic endometriosis (diagnosed by laparoscopy and histologic condition) and to compare these findings with those of women without pelvic endometriosis.
