Venetian blind appearance (uterus)

Last revised by Martin Bundi Rugendo on 25 May 2023

The Venetian blind (a.k.a. rain shower 2) appearance is a sonographic finding that is typically associated with adenomyosis but can also occur in uterine fibroids. The Venetian blind appearance associated with adenomyosis is typically "thin" whereas when associated with uterine fibroids, there are also edge shadows or dense posterior shadowing from calcification 1.
