Abstract

Twenty-nine women believed to be affected with benign uterine pathologies undervent transvaginal hysterosonography insertion of a physiogical solution into the ceryical cavity by means of a catheter positioned in the cervical canal. This new technique, due to the acoustic window created by the fluid, made it possible to find: one cervical polyp, six endometrial polyps, one endometrial synechia, five submucosa myomas and one uterine malformation, the presence of which, with traditional ultrasonography can only be suspected. The subsequent hysteroscopic check-up confirmed the high diagnostic reliability of hysterosonography which is also easy to carry out, safe and costs little.
