Like other parts of your body, the uterus can come in many different shapes or sizes. An anteverted (cervix points towards the front of the body) and retroflexed (the uterus tilts towards back of the body) position is an anatomical description. While the exact cause is unknown, it is seen exclusively in women who have had a cesarean delivery. This unusual position is thought to occur as a result of adhesions (scar tissue) fixing to the lower aspect of the uterine body and to the abdominal wall or bladder.

Like other parts of your body, the uterus can come in many different shapes or sizes. The most common position of the uterus is anteverted (cervix points towards the front of the body) and anteflexed (uterus points towards front of the body). This is an anatomical description that is usually asymptomatic (does not cause symptoms), with no follow-up needed.

An adenomyoma (focal adenomyosis) is a non-cancerous abnormal growth where endometrial tissue (the innermost lining layer of the uterus) is inside the uterus muscle, resulting in a mass. Symptoms, if present, may include heavier than normal menstrual bleeding, pain with menstruation, and painful intercourse.

The adnexa describes the region encompassing the ovary and fallopian tube. The adnexa appears scarred, likely consistent with a history of having pelvic surgery.

The acromioclavicular joint (AC joint), is the point where the clavicle (collarbone), meets the acromion (the highest part of the scapula [shoulder bone]). The AC joint allows for raising the arm over the head as well as moving the arm across the body. AC joint osteoarthritis is a type of shoulder arthritis that involves degenerative (wear-and-tear) changes to the cartilage and other structures in the acromioclavicular joint. These degenerative changes can cause pain, stiffness, and weakness in the front of the shoulder.

Anterolisthesis (also known as spondylolisthesis) is a forward slipping of the vertebra (spinal bone) over the bone below it. A pars defect is a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis, a thin bone connecting two vertebrae. Pars defects are a common injury caused by wear-and-tear and are often seen in those involved in high-risk sports (e.g. gymnastics, football, wrestling, weight lifting).

Brain tissue tends to shrink at the rate of about 0.2% per year after age 30 and then accelerates after the age of 60, due to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Vascular malformation is a general term to describe when blood vessels and/or lymph vessels have an abnormal appearance or connection because of developmental variation - this is a rare but benign (non-cancerous) finding. One type of vascular malformation is an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which is when the artery and vein are directly connected, instead of being connected by small capillaries.

Lymph nodes can be “swollen” (reactive) on imaging. Anything that causes inflammation can cause reactive lymph nodes. Most often this is from a transient viral infection; other less common causes include bacterial infection, malignancy, autoimmune disorders, as well as medications.Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are part of the body's immune system.

The lens of the eye is a clear, flexible structure that allows the eye to focus. The absence of the lens of the eye (a condition called aphakia) is most common in adults who have had surgical removal of the lens due to cataracts (cataract surgery) or injury to the eye from a perforating wound or ulcer. People with aphakia have relatively small pupils that tend to dilate to a lesser degree. Symptoms include blurry vision, farsightedness (the ability to see distant objects more clearly than close objects), and the loss of accommodation (trouble focusing on objects). This can be corrected by wearing glasses, contact lenses, or by surgical implant of an artificial lens. Complications of aphakia include detachment of the vitreous or retina, and glaucoma.
