title: Utero-peritoneal fistula, a rare complication of laparoscopic myomectomy scar dehiscence: a case Report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective is to report a case of utero-peritoneal fistula caused by laparoscopic myomectomy dehiscence, diagnosed by colour Doppler ultrasound scan and confirmed by x-ray HSG and MRI. The aim of our report lies on the importance of imaging in the diagnosis of fistulous processes involving the uterus.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 36 year old woman (G6,P0)presented with intense dysmenorrheal and intermenstrual spotting since laparoscopic myomectomy 2 years before. A laparoscopic myomectomy dehiscence with utero-peritoneal fistula was diagnosed by pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
