A use case typically includes information about how systems interact
with each other as well as how the person using the system interacts
with the system.  For example, a use case might include information
about when the application interacts with a database or another
application.

User scenarios focus on what happens from the perspective of someone
using the system, so they don't include information about
system-system interaction like use cases do.

You could think of use cases and user scenarios as coming from
different but overlapping perspectives.  Use cases focus on the
system perspective and show all the system interactions, whether they
are with a person or with another system.  User scenarios focus on the
user perspective.  They focus on all the interactions the user has.
