BACKGROUND Observational studies suggest higher pregnancy rates after the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions, which are detectable in 10% to 15% of women seeking treatment for subfertility. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterin...

Complex malformations of female genital tract are not so common. Their correct identification is of paramount importance for appropriate management. A thorough knowledge of embryology, pre-operative imaging with MRI and examination under anaesthesia is essential to identify accurately the constellation of anomalies and to plan appropriate management. This case reports the coexistence of Mülleri...

we report a 73-year-old woman with primary left atrial rhabdomyosarcoma and its 1h mr spectroscopy (mrs) findings. the tumor showed a 2.8 cm sized lesion in the posteroinferior atrial wall on mri. 1h mr spectra were acquired using a point-resolved spectroscopy (press) sequence with electrocardiographic (ecg) gating and respiratory motion. the use of 1h-mrs allowed the quantification of triglyce...

Congenital anomalies of the uterus may cause gynecologic, obstetric and fertility problems. Obstetrical complications are reported to occur more commonly with mullerian duct anomalies, such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Uterine compression sutures may be effective in controlling PPH in these conditions as an alternative to hysterectomy, especially if the patient has a desire to conceive. As t...

ullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are relatively common disorders that are particularly responsible for obstetrical complications and have a prevalence of about 3%−4% in the general population (1, 2). Uterine malformations may result from arrested development of the mullerian ducts, failure of fusion of the mullerian ducts or failure of resorption of the median septum (1, 2). Several classificatio...

Background: Mullerian disorders are present in 5-25% of infertile women. Myoma, polyp and endometrial adhesions are among other involved factors in infertility. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency distribution of pregnancy occurrence in infertile women after the diagnostic-surgical hysteroscopy on selected infertile cases including those with abnormal uterine. Materi...

BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of uterine abnormalities has become a core part of the fertility work-up. A variety of modalities can be used for the diagnosis of uterine abnormalities. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in uterine pathologies of infertile patients using hysteroscopy as the gold standard. PATIENTS AND MET...
