title: [Ultrasonography via vaginal in diagnosing uterine anomalies].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical value of ultrasonography via vaginal in diagnosing uterine anomalies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients in Infertility Clinic were scanned by endovaginal sonography. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysteroscopy were performed in patients with uterine anomalies confirmed by ultrasonography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty patients had uterine anomalies. Of them, 10 had double uterus, 4 had bicornuate uterus, 3 arcuate uterus, 2 septate uterus, and the other 1 unicornuate uterus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Uterine anomalies are easily detected by endovaginal sonography. The diagnosis of uterine anomalies is important in the treatment of infertility and in the prevalence of complications related to uterine anomalies such as abortion and premature labor in pregnancy.
