Uterine Anomalies

Ultrasound is a powerful, low-cost, non-invasive medical tool used by laboratory animal veterinarians for diagnostic imaging. Sonohysterography and transvaginal ultrasound are frequently used to assess uterine anomalies in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). In the present study, we have evaluated the abdominal ultrasound of bonnet monkeys ( n = 8) showing spontaneous ovulatory ( n = 5) and anovulatory ( n = 3) AUB. The ovulatory ( n = 5) macaques showed cyclic AUB for 7–8 days. The anovulatory ( n = 3) macaques had irregular AUB with menstrual cycles of 40–45 days. The B-mode abdominal, colour Doppler and 3D ultrasound scans were performed during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. Ultrasound examination revealed endometrial polyps in five macaques and endometrial hyperplasia in three animals. The width and length of endometrial polyps was around 0.5–1 cm (average 0.51 ± 0.23 cm × 0.96 ± 0.16 cm) with significant increase in endometrial thickness ( P < 0.0002). 3D ultrasound also showed a homogeneous mass in the uterine cavity and colour Doppler ultrasound showed increased vascularity in the endometrial polyps. Endometrial hyperplasia characteristically appeared as a thickened echogenic endometrium ( P < 0.0002). This study demonstrates the use of non-invasive ultrasound techniques in the diagnosis of AUB in macaques.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of saline infusion hysterosonography for detection of uterine cavity abnormalities using Hysteroscopy as the gold standard. Study Design: Analytical Quasi Experimental study. Setting: Obstetric and Gynaecology Department Madina Teaching Hospital Faisalabad. Period: July 2017 to December 2017. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients presented with abnormal uterine bleeding were included in the study. Transvaginal ultrasound, SIS and hysteroscopy performed for evaluation of the uterine cavity for any abnormality. Results: SIS helped in detection of intacavitary abnormalities in 39 out of 60 patients indicating sensitivity of 88. 64 % and specificity of 100 % as hysteroscopy confirm the findings in all the patients. The NPV is 76 % and PPV of 100 % taking hysteroscopy as gold standard. The diagnostic accuracy of saline infusion sonography is 91%. Conclusion: The addition of SIS to TVS significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity for detecting intracavitary pathology. It can be used as an alternative procedure whenever hysteroscopy is not available.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is an important cause of health hazard in perimenopausal women. Accurate diagnosis for the causative factor of AUB in this age group is of utmost importance so that appropriate management can be established. Objective pf present study was to estimate the diagnostic accuracy, efficacy, sensitivity and specificity of transvaginal ultrasound in evaluation of uterine cavity lesion in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleedingMethods: This is a prospective study. This study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur. We included 50 patients of perimenopausal age group who attended the gynecology department with the complaint of AUB. After selecting the patients who fulfill the eligibility criteria in the OPD detailed clinical history, obstetrical and gynecological history taken and detail clinical examination was done as per proforma followed by TVS.Results: In the present study, maximum no of cases between age group of 40 to 44 with 48%, and 38% of cases between age group of 45-49 yr. This suggests abnormal uterine bleeding is common in perimenopausal women. In present study overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV of TVS were 76%, 94%, 76% and 94%.Conclusions: In conclusion, abnormal uterine bleeding which often prevails as an important and common gynecological ailment. The Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV of TVS was 76%, 94%, 76% and 94%. The result showed that Transvaginal sonography has a moderate diagnostic accuracy in detecting endometrial hyperplasia and other intrauterine pathology. TVS is safe, acceptable and easily available in most secondary and tertiary care setting and is noninvasive. It should be continued as 1st line diagnostic tool in patients with AUB in perimenopausal women.

Diagnostic Challenge

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) represents a common diagnostic challenge, as it might be related to both benign and malignant conditions. Endometrial cancer may not be detected with blind uterine cavity sampling by dilatation and curettage or suction devices. Several scoring systems using different ultrasound image characteristics were recently proposed to estimate the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) in women with AUB. Aim: The aim of the present study was to externally validate the predictive value of the recently proposed scoring systems including the Risk of Endometrial Cancer scoring model (REC) for EC risk stratification. Material and methods: It was a retrospective cohort study of women with postmenopausal bleeding. From June 2012 to June 2020 we studied a group of 394 women who underwent standard transvaginal ultrasound examination followed by power Doppler intrauterine vascularity assessment. Selected ultrasound features of endometrial lesions were assessed in each patient. Results: The median age was 60.3 years (range ±10.7). The median body mass index (BMI) was 30.4 (range ± 6.0). Histological examination revealed 158 cases of endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and 236 cases of EC. Of the studied ultrasound endometrial features, the highest areas under the curve (AUCs) were found for endometrial thickness (ET) (AUC = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.71–0.81) and for interrupted endomyometrial junction (AUC = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.65–0.75). Selected scoring systems presented moderate to good predictive performance in differentiating EC and EH. The highest AUC was found for REC model (AUC = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.70–0.79) and for the basic model that included ET, Doppler score and interrupted endometrial junction (AUC = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.73–0.82). REC model was more accurate than other scoring systems and selected single features for differentiating benign hyperplasia from EC at early stages, regardless of menopausal status. Conclusions: New scoring systems, including the REC model may be used in women with AUB for more efficient differentiation between benign and malignant conditions.

The aim is to compare hysteroscopy, two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (2D TVUS), and three-dimensional (3D) Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis™ (VOCAL) to detect endometrial polyps (EPs) in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This prospective study was done at Ain Shams Maternity Hospital, Egypt, from March 5, 2015, to December 30, 2015, enrolling 118 premenopausal women with AUB. 2D TVUS, 3D VOCAL, and hysteroscopy were done. 109 patients reached final analysis. 36 women (33%) were diagnosed with EP by 2D TVUS. 50 (45.9%) had EP by hysteroscopy. Endometrial thickness was 10.1 mm by 2D TVUS and endometrial volume was 4.92 mL by VOCAL in women with EP by hysteroscopy compared to 9.9 mm and 3.50 mL in women with no EP, respectively (P=0.223;P=0.06). 2D TVUS has sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of 54%, 84.7%, 75%, and 68.5%, respectively. Endometrial thickness of >7.5 mm has sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and overall accuracy of 82%, 37.3%, 52.6%, 71%, and 57.8%, respectively. Endometrial volume of >1.2 mL has sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and overall accuracy of 90%, 42.4%, 57%, 83.3%, and 64.2%, respectively. 3D VOCAL may be used as a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of EP in premenopausal women with AUB.
