Uterus Ultrasound Normal Vs Adenomyosis Images | Diffuse & Focal Types | Gynecological USG Scan

*Cases
Diffuse Adenomyosis - 0:00
Focal Adenomyosis - 8:53

Diffuse Adenomyosis:
- Endometrium grows into the myometrium
- Heterogeneous uterus appearance
- Thickened myometrium
- Myometrial Cysts: Small anechoic areas within the myometrium
- Asymmetrical myometrial thickening
- Venetian Blind Appearance: Parallel, linear, hypoechoic stripes within the myometrium. These stripes are caused by the presence of endometrial tissue, blood vessels, or fibrous tissue within the myometrium that disrupts the normal muscular structure.
- Poorly Defined Endometrial-Myometrial Junction
- Junctional zone disruption by myometrial cysts
- Enlarged globular homogeneous uterus
- Hyperechoic Islands: Distinct areas within the myometrium that appear hyperechoic compared to the surrounding tissue. May represent ectopic endometrial glands and stroma surrounded by hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium.
- Increased Vascularity on doppler imaging: There may be increased blood flow within the myometrium
