[Sonohysterography in the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of sonohisterography in the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities.


METHODS
The study included 28 pre- and postmenopausal women with abnormal vaginal bleeding scheduled for diagnostic curettage. We confronted the ultrasound findings and sonohysterography results with the histopathological diagnosis of the curettage specimens.


RESULTS
Obtained data confirmed usefulness of sonohysterography in the differential diagnosis and topography of abnormalities in the uterine cavity.


CONCLUSIONS
We believe that it's more precise to evaluate a single endometrial line using the sonohysterography technique. We can also suggest that sonohysterography may be a useful method in the early diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities and may be an alternative method for hospitals lacking hysteroscopic facilities.
