Aim and Objectives: To assess the value of Hysterosalpingography in evaluating uterine abnormalities tubal patency infertile patients to compare its results with established methods like hysterosalpingography for determination cases primary secondary infertility. Methods: In this study , trial 50 women complaining infertility ,suspected pathologies underwent various radiological modalities. was...

Approximately 15% of couples are affected with subfertility, of which up to 20% remain unexplained. Uterine cavity abnormalities can be a contributing cause of subfertility and recurrent implantation failure. Uterine cavity assessment has been suggested as a routine investigation in the evaluation of subfertile women. Traditionally, hysterosalpingography has been the most commonly used techniqu...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic image quality between three different water soluble iodinated contrast media in hysterosalpingography (HSG). MATERIAL AND METHOD In a prospective randomised study of 204 patients, the diagnostic quality of images obtained after hysterosalpingography were evaluated using Iopramide (106 patients) and Ioxaglate (98 patients). 114 patients who had undergone HSG...

Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an important diagnostic procedure in the investigation of infertility. It is the radiographic delineation of uterine and tubal cavities and is part of the diagnostic evaluation of conjugal infertility.1 This diagnostic procedure is associated with high levels of anxiety, pain and stress from various causes. This study was designed to investigate the im...

The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and safety of hysteroscopic metroplasty in cases of diethylstilboestrol-exposed and hypoplastic malformed uterus. Twenty-four patients were referred for primary infertility (n = 9), secondary infertility (n = 1) or infecundity (n = 14). Fifteen had been exposed to diethylstilboestrol in utero. All patients had a hypoplastic uterus and/or ut...

Although during the past twenty-five years insufflation and hysterosalpingography have both become established and widely practised procedures in the investigation of sterility, there are still certain aspects of both techniques upon which full agreement has not been reached. One of these is the question whether they should be regarded as alternative rather than as complementary procedures, ano...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has extended the usefulness of imaging in evaluation of pelvic disorders associated with female infertility. The causes of female infertility include ovulatory disorders (ie, pituitary adenoma and polycystic ovarian syndrome), disorders of the fallopian tubes (ie, hydrosalpinx and pelvic inflammatory disease), uterine disorders (ie, müllerian duct anomaly, adenom...

A 34 year old woman presented with primary infertility and duplication of the cervix and vagina. Laparoscopy demonstrated a normal uterus and hysterosalpingography revealed a normal uterine cavity communicating with both cervices. This rare Mullerian anomaly is inconsistent with our current understanding of Mullerian development. An alternative embryological mechanism is reviewed to account for...

A bicornuate uterus is a rare mullerian duct anomaly (MDA) caused by fusion defects of the mullerian duct during embryogenesis.1 They are of clinical significance because they can result in fertility problems ranging from infertility and recurrent abortions to prematurity and malpresentation which increases the perinatal morbidity and mortality rate2. In this paper a case is presented to highli...
