title: Sonography of arcuate uterine blood vessels.
abstract: Five sonographic cases are presented with images that demonstrate normal arcuate arteries and peripheral uterine blood vessels. These vascular structures are shown in both the longitudinal and transverse sections, and should not be confused with pathology such as Nabothian cysts, hydrosalpinx, pelvic inflammatory disease, hydatid cysts of Morgagni, endometriosis, or abnormal pelvic varices.
