Figure 3 Sagittal T2-weighted image shows high signal intensity within the uterus. A small amount of blood is also displayed in the anterior vaginal fornix and the pouch of Douglas suggestive of hematosalpnix. No vagina could be seen.

Figure 4 Sagittal T2-weighted image shows reconstruction of the vagina as seen as a line of hypointensity aligned in the anteroposterior axis with almost in normal relation to the cervix (arrow). Cervical canal appears with central hyperintensity signals 2 cm in length. Internal cervical os is depicted as slit like intensity with preserved thickened mucosa (arrow).
