Abstract

Knowledge about fallopian tube disease is essential in the assessment of the pelvis in female patients. Primary and secondary changes in the tubes vary widely, regardless of whether associated changes in the ovaries are present. Ultrasonography is the initial technique in the study of adnexal disease because it is very sensitive and widely available; however, MRI is also very useful in this context because its high tissue resolution and anatomic detail make it more specific. The morphologic findings and the characteristics of the contents of the tubes on MRI enable a more accurate diagnosis or limit the differential diagnosis, helping to ensure that the most appropriate treatment is provided in each case.

Keywords:
Magnetic resonance imaging
Fallopian tube dilation
Adnexal mass
Fallopian tube tumor
Tubal endometriosis
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Resumen

Conocer las enfermedades de las trompas de Falopio es esencial para valorar la pelvis ginecológica. Las alteraciones primarias y secundarias de las trompas, cursen o no con alteraciones ováricas asociadas, son muy variadas. Pese a que la ecografía, por su gran sensibilidad y disponibilidad, es la técnica inicial para estudiar las alteraciones anexiales, la RM es muy útil en el diagnóstico de las enfermedades tubáricas porque su elevada resolución tisular y el detalle anatómico que proporciona le confieren una mayor especificidad. Los hallazgos morfológicos y las características del contenido tubárico con la RM posibilitan un diagnóstico más preciso o limitan el diagnóstico diferencial y permiten orientar el tratamiento más adecuado en cada caso.

Palabras clave:
Resonancia magnética
Dilatación tubárica
Masa anexial
Neoplasia tubárica
Endometriosis tubárica
Enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica
