Popis: OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between vascularity patterns along the endometriomal wall assessed by Doppler ultrasound and volume of the endometrioma. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 58 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometrioma were evaluated for volume and vascularization by color and power Doppler ultrasonography before the surgery. The presence and amount of blood flow reported in terms of color scale and pulsed Doppler indiceswere examined. Endometriomal volume in patients with different amount of blood flow (avascularor scantily vascularized group; n= 42 and moderately or highly vascularized group; n=16) was compared and the relation of volume to Doppler indices was assessed by Spearman’s correlation analysis. p
