Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: There are several techniques available for the evaluation of uterine malformations. When the cavity only is to be assessed, hysterosalpingography (HSG) and hysteroscopy are especially useful. Laparotomy and laparoscopy can be also used for examination of the uterine fundus. There are two techniques, however, that combine the study of both these structures, which are indeed relevant for the diagnosis: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. Aim of the work: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of some diagnostic tools used in the diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies. Patients and methods: This study was performed on thirty nine patients, they were HSG suggestive of congenital uterine anomalies. Every patient was subjected to complete clinical examination. Then, every patient was subjected to the following procedures;Two- Dimensional Transvaginal Sonography (2D-TVS), Three-Dimensional Transvaginal Sonography (3D-TVS), Two-Dimensional Saline Infusion
