Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Hydrosalpinx
(Left) Longitudinal
transvaginal ultrasound shows
an elongated, thin-walled,
fluid-filled structure with an
incomplete septum ſt. This
was unchanged on follow-up
examination and
asymptomatic. (Right) Axial
oblique T2 TSE MR confirms
the tubular shape, internal
fluid content, and incomplete
septum ſt. Fibroids st were
also present.
Diagnoses: Female Pelvis
(Left) Longitudinal
transvaginal ultrasound shows
a dilated, thin-walled fallopian
tube with mural nodules
(beads on a string) ſt. The
distal end of the hydrosalpinx
was much larger st. (Right)
Coronal transvaginal color
Doppler ultrasound shows no
increased vascularity in the
wall of the hydrosalpinx or in
the nodules ſt in this chronic
hydrosalpinx.
(Left) Axial T2 TSE performed
for staging cervical carcinoma
shows bilateral asymptomatic
hydrosalpinges ſt, the left
greater than the right. The
ovaries st were seen
separately. (Right)
Hysterosalpingogram
performed for infertility shows
blunted fimbrial ends ſt of
the dilated fallopian tubes
with no free spill, indicating
bilateral tubal occlusion.
