ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction:Tubal abnormalities like hydrosalpinx, a suggestive feature of a tubal disease need to be screened in infertile women before the treatment. Although magnetic resonance imaging scan offers many advantages over other diagnostic algorithms, the procedure is relatively expensive and not readily accessible compared with the other forms of imaging. Case Series:In this case series, we demonstrated the advantages of three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography in diagnosis of different features of hydrosalpinx with superior quality imaging. Five infertile women those were suspected for pelvic inflammation upon clinical examination were screened for hydrosalpinx by three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (TV-USG). Different features of hydrosalpinx such as dilated fallopian tubes along with a paraovarian cyst, typical retort shaped cystic lesion, S-shaped cystic lesion, multiloculated nature of the fallopian tube were visualized. Conclusion:The findings obtained by 3D TV-USG almost comparable to MRI scan. Therefore, we feel that the incorporation of 3D modality in the imaging procedures improves the evaluation of complex pelvic masses. | |
