Sonohysterography in the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of sonohisterography in the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities.

Methods: The study included 28 pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal vaginal bleeding scheduled for diagnostic curettage. We confronted the ultrasound findings and sonohysterography results with the histopathological diagnosis of the curettage specimens.

Results: Obtained data confirmed usefulness of sonohysterography in the differential diagnosis and topography of abnormalities in the uterine cavity.

Conclusions: We believe that it's more precise to evaluate a single endometrial line using the sonohysterography technique. We can also suggest that sonohysterography may be a useful method in the early diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities and may be an alternative method for hospitals lacking hysteroscopic facilities.
