Multimodality Imaging of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Complicated with Tubo-Ovarian Abscess

Abstract

Teaching Point: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most frequent gynecologic cause of emergency visits. Because of its prevalence and non-specific symptoms, the radiologist may encounter this pathology and its complications on all imaging modalities and should carefully assess PID signs to avoid delay in management, late complications, and unnecessary surgery.
