case_images: The result showed normal physiological structure of the uterus (Figure 1A, the uterus with dimensions of 43   28   18 mm, regular shape, uniform distribution of internal echoes, centralized endometrial line, and endometrial thickness of approximately 8 mm). T2 signal, with full right margin and no obvious abnormal enhancement (Figure 1C and D). Therefore, the influence of the pituitary gland on the prolactin level was ruled out, and the elevated prolactin level was considered to be caused by paliperidone administration. The examination of her abdominal ultrasound scan revealed the following data: uterine dimensions of 51   37   22 mm, regular shape, uniform distribution of the echoes, centralized endometrial line, and endometrial thickness of about 8 mm (Figure 1B).
