title: Role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of incarceration of the gravid uterus.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Incarcerated uterus is a rare condition with potentially serious complications that is often difficult to diagnose. This series shows the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Five pregnant women with incarcerated uterus are presented and the MRI findings compared with MRI in normal pregnancy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of MRI can be helpful in diagnosing this rare condition.
