Background: Recent developments in ultrasound have led to a new exploration technique: hydrosonography.
Aim: To evaluate diagnostic performance of hysterosonography in the assessment of the uterine cavity, by comparing it with standard transvaginal ultrasound and particularly with diagnostic hysteroscopy.
Methods: This is a prospective study over a period of nine months from 1st January to 30 September 2009. Transvaginal ultrasound was performed for all patients followed by hydrosonography then by diagnostic hysteroscopy.
Results: Sixty-two patients underwent three examinations. The mean age of our patients was 42.2 years. Bleeding disorders of the menstrual cycle were the most common reasons for seeking. Referring to the pathological examination, hysteroscopy is the most accurate technique in the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia and intracavitary masses, followed by hydrosonography then by transvaginal ultrasound. The concordance between hydrosonography and hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of submucosal fibroids and hyperplasia of the endometrium is very good (K> 0.8).
Conclusion: The hysterosonography seems a relevant exam, allowing a complete assessment of the uterine cavity.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder with various contributing factors. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a contemporary noninvasive imaging technique that reports on the elasticity of tissues. This study aimed to evaluate ovarian stiffness in patients with PCOS using transvaginal SWE, and investigate the potential biological mechanisms underlying increased ovarian stiffness.

Damage of fallopian tube, endometriosis, fibroid uterus, adenomysis and polycystic ovary syndrome are the major pelvic pathology that causes subfertility. Although there are many diagnostic tests available, the clinical presentation of each patient can usually be linked to specific and efficient testing strategies. Transvaginal sonographic (TVS) imaging is an effective, easy to use, safe and readily available noninvasive means to evaluate fertility potential.

Porphyria is a rare and often underdiagnosed metabolic disorder that leads to abdominal pain, pelvic pain, changes in neurological states, and digestive issues due to a buildup of porphyrins in the body. Diagnosis can be especially difficult in young women, where symptoms of porphyria often overlap with gynecological conditions. We present a case of a 37-year-old female patient who was experiencing persistent lower abdominal and pelvic pain, brain fog and confusion, and a rash after long sun exposure.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is localized over the scar of a previous cesarean section. CSEP is a challenging entity, both in terms of diagnosis and management. The clinical presentation of CSEP may vary from asymptomatic patients with positive urine pregnancy tests to acute presentations such as pelvic pain, bleeding per vaginum, uterine rupture, and hemodynamic instability.
