Abstract

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.
