title: Sector ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of hematometria secondary to Asherman's syndrome.
abstract: Sector ultrasound in patients with post-traumatic amenorrhea (Asherman's) performed at BBT-determined "menses" will diagnose patients with hematometria secondary to outlet obstruction. These patients can be treated in the outpatient setting using real-time ultrasound as a guide for intrauterine manipulation.
