7.4 mm) had 81% sensitivity and 97% specificity for prediction of post-menstrual spotting with overall accuracy was 88.7%. While scar width (> 12.8 mm) had 71% sensitivity and 97% specificity for prediction of post-menstrual spotting with overall accuracy was 83.3%. Scar volume (> 0.15 cm3) had 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity for prediction of post-menstrual spotting with overall accuracy was 98.4%. Conclusion MRI measures (CS scar volume, depth, and width) are predictors for postmenstrual spotting in patients with CS scar niche, and scar volume is the most powerful predictor."/>

37 years old patient with a history of 2 previous CS, last one 4 years ago, she complained from postmenstrual spotting, the duration of the period increased from 4 to 11 days. A Sagittal T2WI view of droplet-shaped CS scar niche of 8.15 mm length with a residual myometrial thickness of 2.17 mm (black arrow). B Axial T2WI shows CS scar niche width (2.03 cm)
