Uterine perforation by an intracavitary tandem: CT demonstration.
Perforation of the uterus by a tandem device is an important complication of intracavitary radiotherapy for cervical carcinoma. Although the sonographic appearance of this complication is well recognized, its demonstration by computed tomography (CT) has been reported in only a single case. We report a second case and discuss the CT findings.
