BACKGROUND Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is one of the commonly used radiological modalities for investigating infertility in women. In developing countries such as Ghana it remains the main tool for investigating some of the underlying causes of female infertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the predominance of various hysterosalpingographic results in patients that went through ...

Aim: To document the ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) findings in Chinese patients with iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. Methods: 21 patients with ICE syndrome and 15 normal subjects underwent UBM. UBM findings of anterior segment were compared between normal subjects and three clinical types of ICE syndrome: progressive iris atrophy (PIA), Chandler’s syndrome (CS), and Cogan-Reese syndr...

In 3 cases of keratoplasty in aphakic eyes 4--8 months after surgery a gradual flattening of the anterior chamber was observed. During the initial postoperative months there was no suggestion of any impending complication. No synechiae at the anterior chamber angle were present, the anterior vitreous face had remained intact without being in contact with the posterior corneal surface, and the i...

background: abnormal uterine bleeding is a common presentation of uterine abnormalities among premenopausal and postmenopausal women. objective: to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of saline contrast sonohysterography and hysteroscopy for detecting the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. materials and methods: a total of 65 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were enrolled in this ...

The main female anatomical causes of infertility include post-infectious tubal damage, endometriosis, and congenital/acquired uterine anomalies. Congenital (septate uterus) and acquired (myomas and synechiae) diseases of the uterus may lead to infertility, pregnancy loss, and other obstetric complications. Pelvic inflammatory disease represents the most common cause of tubal damage. Surgery sti...

purpose : to report a patient with urrets-zavalia (u-z) syndrome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in both eyes case report : a 22-year-old woman with keratoconus associated with a central full thickness scar in both eyes underwent pkp in her right eye that was postoperatively associated with a fixed dilated pupil and severe fibrin reaction, posterior synechiae and mild anterior sub capsular...

Middle meatal adhesions are considered the most common complication of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), ranging in incidence from 1 to 36%. Consequently the recurrence and persistence of symptoms increase, resulting in revision surgery in up to 25% of the cases. Although different methods have been attempted to prevent adhesions, each procedure involves some disadvantages and no stan...

The Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is a complex association of developmental anomalies principally involving structures of ectodermal origin. The constant expressions of the syndrome are dyscephaly with mandibulo-facial malformation, bilateral congenital cataracts, and dental anomalies, while hypotrichosis, cutaneous atrophy, microphthalmos, and proportionate dwarfism are frequently present (Table...

Posterior pupillary synechiae affect a proportion of eyes subjected to iridectomy with or without drainage operation because (1) aqueous humour bypasses the pupil; (2) traumatic iridocyclitis occurs; (3) there is immobility of the iris in the iridectomy sector; (4) in eyes with angle closure glaucoma closer apposition of the iris to the anterior lens capsule increases the tendency; (5) pilocarp...
