Transvaginal sonohysterographic evaluation of intrauterine adhesions.

چکیده
PURPOSE We assessed the role of preoperative sonohysterography in the diagnosis of intrauterine synechiae. METHODS Nineteen patients with a suspected diagnosis of intrauterine adhesion underwent hysterosalpingography, transvaginal sonography, and sonohysterography performed in the consultation room. The patients were then treated by hysteroscopy under laparoscopic or ultrasound guidance. RESULTS Transvaginal sonography showed an abnormal uterine cavity in only 10 cases. The sensitivities of sonohysterography and hysterosalpingography in the diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions were both 100%. Sonohysterography showed complete correlation with hysterosalpingography. CONCLUSIONS We recommend routine sonohysterography after transvaginal sonography in cases of suspected intrauterine synechiae.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to assess the rate of persistent submucosal myomas and intrauterine scarring after hysteroscopic myomectomy, as well as to evaluate the preoperative and intraoperative sonohysterographic findings that will predict persistence of myomas, scarring, and the need for repeat surgery. METHODS Charts from all hysteroscopic myomectomies performed...

متن کاملEndometrial thickness measured by ultrasound scan in women with uterine outlet obstruction due to intrauterine or upper cervical adhesions.
BACKGROUND A subgroup of women with Asherman's syndrome has adhesions of limited extent completely blocking the lower uterine cavity or upper cervix, whereas the upper endometrium remains normal. Haematometra are rarely found in these women. We tested the hypothesis that women with localized adhesions occluding the uterine outlet (but not affecting the upper uterine cavity) will have much thinn...
متن کاملEvaluation of Intrauterine Structural Pathology by Three-Dimensional Sonohysterography Using An Extended Imaging Method
Structural intrauterine abnormalities are an important cause of infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss and bleeding or pain associated with a poor reproductive outcome. Various diagnostic methods have been applied to detect these lesions such as hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy and sonohysterography. More recently, three-dimensional extended imaging (3DXI) provides the ability to obtain seque...
