Figure 1c. Spontaneous fibroid passage. (a, b) Sagittal single-shot fast spin-echo (SE) T2-weighted (repetition time msec/echo time msec = 4.4/64) (a) and gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) (4.5/1.9, 15° flip angle) (b) MR images obtained 2 months after UAE show an infarcted fibroid (*) in the endometrial canal. (c, d) On sagittal single-shot fast SE T2-weighted (4.4/64) (c) and gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed 3D T1-weighted VIBE (4.5/1.9, 15° flip angle) (d) MR images obtained 1 year after UAE, the fibroid is no longer seen. The patient, who reported that the fibroid had been expelled spontaneously without complication, did not require treatment.
