Abstract:
A 42-year-old woman with bilateral massive ovarian edema (MOE) is presented. MOE is usually seen in women 6 to 33 years of age. Therefore, accurate re-operative assessment of MOE is important to avoid unnecessary oophorectomy procedures. MR findings of MOE are characteristic and reflect very well the diffuse stromal edema noted on microscopy. The etiology and MR findings of MOE are discussed.

02:07Oogenesis
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...
01:20Cholecystitis
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
