FIG. 15.30 Cesarean Section Scars Remote From Time of Surgery on Transvaginal Sonography (TVS). (A) Normal cesarean section scar
(arrow) in anterior lower uterine segment. (B) Pseudomass due to bulbous area of myometrium, in this instance located between two cesarean
sections scars (arrows). This could be mistaken for a leiomyoma. (C) Pseudomass (P) due to bulbous area of myometrium superior to a cesarean
section scar (arrow). (D) Fluid (arrow) extends into the cesarean section scar in the anterior lower uterine segment. Variable terms, including
“isthmocele,” have been used to describe this inding.
