Abstract
|
|
|
|
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option in patients with uterine myoma and adenomyosis. As the use of HIFU increases in the clinical practice, it is important to be aware of imaging findings related to ultrasound (US)-guided HIFU ablation and its potential complications. However, there are few reports on the imaging findings regarding complications of US-guided HIFU ablation. Here, we report a case of acute complication after US-guided HIFU ablation, surgically confirmed as thermal injury with necrosis of skin, subcutaneous tissue, anterior abdominal wall muscles, peritoneum and uterus.
