Figure 4a.   Effect of overfilling of the bladder on uterine shape in a 12-year-old girl. (a) Longitudinal US scan shows an overfilled bladder compressing the uterus, making the fundal prominence less apparent than in b. (b) Longitudinal US scan obtained after partial emptying of the bladder clearly shows that the fundus is thicker than the cervix.
