Study carried out in Radiology Department of Jinnah Hospital Lahore on four patients with age ranges from 3546 years revealed that the Saline Infusion Sonohysterography plays an important role in diagnosing endometrial abnormalities especially Endometrial Polyps in women`s with complaint of intermenstural bleeding. Saline Infusion Sonohysterography requires minimal patient`s preparation, has few complications & is well tolerated by patients. Given its advantages over other techniques for uterine evaluation, Saline Infusion Sonohysterography will play an even larger role in pelvic imaging in future.

BACKGROUND: Some studies suggested that saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) has been used to detect uterine cavity abnormalities before in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles to improve treatment success rates and decrease the number of cycle cancellations and embryo implantation failures. Some of the factors contributing to the dissemination and acceptance of the technique include the fact that it is a simple, less painful, less expensive, less invasive, and well-tolerated procedure when compared to hysteroscopy. AIM: The aim of the study is to evaluate uterine cavity abnormality with SIS performed before IVF. METHODS: A descriptive retrospective study involving 551 female partners who had SIS before IVF/ICSI treatment at private Halim Fertility Center from January 2014 until December 2017. Five hundred and fifty-one infertile woman was included in this study before IVF/ICSI cycles. Patients agreed to have an ultrasound assessment of the uterine cavity with the use of saline as the contrast medium. SIS procedure was scheduled postmenstrual period in the early-mid follicular phase and 1-3 months before starting IVF/ICSI treatment. RESULTS: From 551 patients, we found 527 (94.4%) cases with the normal uterine cavity. The uterine cavity abnormalities were detected in 5.56% of cases included in this study (28 (5.02%) cases with endometrial polyps, two (0.36%) cases with intrauterine adhesions, and one (0.18%) case with Müllerian duct anomalies). CONCLUSION: SIS before IVF treatment could be a good option for evaluating uterus cavity before IVF to improve success rates of pregnancy.

This prospective study investigated 79 pre- and 25 post-menopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding who underwent conventional transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) and compared the results with histopathological findings obtained by dilatation and curettage, hysteroscopy or hysterectomy. Histological examination revealed normal endometrial histology in 28 patients, intracavitary polyps in 46 patients, submucosal fibroids in 18 patients, intramural fibroids in six patients and endometrial hyperplasia in six patients. The sensitivity and specificity of TVS in detecting endometrial polyps were 65.2% and 87.9%, respectively, compared with 91.3% and 93.1% for SIS. The sensitivity and specificity of TVS in detecting uterine fibroids were 95.8% and 95.0%, respectively, versus 91.6% and 98.7% for SIS. These results show that SIS is a satisfactory method of identifying lesions and that it is easy and cost-effective, and improves on the diagnostic utility of TVS. SIS is also a less invasive alternative to hysteroscopy, so should result in less morbidity in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding in women.

Background. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) may be acute or chronic and is defined as bleeding from the uterine corpus that is abnormal in regularity, volume, frequency, or duration and occurs in the absence of pregnancy. It is a widespread complaint in the primary care units. The prevalence of abnormal bleeding is up to 30% among women of reproductive age. Objective. To assess the role of CT virtual hysteroscopy in the evaluation of the uterine cavity in cases with abnormal uterine bleeding in reproductive age. Methods. Cross sectional study was performed at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and Radiology Department, Zagazig University hospitals, Egypt, on 124 women with abnormal uterine bleeding in reproductive age, and their uterine cavity was evaluated by both row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanner and Office hysteroscopy. Results. Mean age of studied group was 28.54 ± 5.99 years, and virtual hysteroscopy showed sensitivity 91.1% and specificity 85.3% in detection of abnormalities within uterine cavity. It showed sensitivity 91.1% and specificity 85.3% in cases of endometrial polyps. It yielded 88.5 % sensitivity and 100 % specificity in cases with submucous fibroids, while it yielded only 57.9 % sensitivity and 82.9% specificity in cases of thick endometrium. Conclusion. Virtual CT hysteroscopy is a good negative test in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding but has some limitations that decrease its sensitivity.
