| Popis: | Uterine artery calcification presents a recognizable roentgen pattern. Since the finding is not well known, four examples are presented in this communication. The phenomenon is more common in the elderly but may be observed in younger women. In every patient in whom we detected this calcification, arteriosclerotic changes in other arteries were roentgenographically demonstrable. The uterine artery is a branch of the anterior division of the internal iliac artery (hypogastric). It originates near the pelvic brim and is divided roughly into three portions. In its first part it courses downward along the lateral pelvic wall for about 4 em. The second portion traverses the broad ligament medially and slightly anteriorly to the side of the uterine body where it divides into superior and inferior branches to form the third portion. The ascending portion rises to the level of the junction of the uterine tube and body, giving off arcuate branches around the body as it rises. It then runs laterally to join with th... |
