RESUMO
Endoscopic reflux therapy has gained more and more popularity, and the use of this method is increasing. These imaging patterns (well known by pediatric radiologists) should be known by the general radiologist as the first young patients treated 20 years ago are now adults.

Ameloblastoma is the most frequent of the odontogenic tumors. We report a case of a giant ameloblastoma involving the maxillary region and describe its ultrasonography and computed tomography findings.

Uterine inversion secondary to a pathological process of the myometrium is very rare. We report the case of a woman presenting with a submucosal pedunculated leiomyoma in whom a study by 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a uterine inversion. The MRI findings were characteristic and permitted a correct diagnosis before the surgical intervention.

The rupture of the spleen, not secondary to external trauma, is rare. Two cases are reported. The first case occurred in a patient with an aggressive form of lymphoma, and the second in a patient following a colonoscopy. In the rare occurrences of spontaneous rupture, radiological imaging, in particular by computed tomography, will lead to the diagnosis and help in deciding the correct treatment.

We present three cases of endometriosis developing in the abdominal wall following cesarean section. The patients were examined by Doppler ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The object is to describe the US and MRI findings of the lesion and evaluate their role in the diagnosis and management. In our opinion, a single procedure is sufficient in evaluating the lesion and in reaching the diagnosis.
