The purpose of this study was to compare the relative accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (n = 26), endovaginal sonography (EVS) (n = 14), and hysterosalpingography (HSG) (n = 20) in the classification of müllerian duct anomalies in 26 patients. There were 24 cases of surgically proved anomaly, and two patients had normal uteri (one with a vaginal septum). MR imaging allowed diagnosis of 24 of 24 cases (accuracy, 100%), and EVS was correct in 11 of 12 cases (accuracy, 92%). HSG was correct in only four cases. In the diagnosis of septate uterus, MR imaging demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 100% and EVS demonstrated a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 80%. Both MR imaging and EVS demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 100% in distinguishing those anomalies that did not require surgery. The high accuracy of MR imaging and EVS permit noninvasive differentiation of uterine anomalies and can spare women diagnostic laparoscopy, promoting cost-effective diagnosis.
本研究的目的是比较磁共振成像(MR)(n = 26)、经阴道超声检查(EVS)(n = 14)和子宫输卵管造影(HSG)(n = 20)对26例患者苗勒管异常分类的相对准确性。有24例经手术证实为异常,2例患者子宫正常(1例有阴道纵隔)。MR成像能够诊断出24例中的24例(准确率100%),EVS在12例中诊断正确11例(准确率92%)。HSG仅在4例中诊断正确。在诊断纵隔子宫时,MR成像的敏感性和特异性均为100%,EVS的敏感性为100%,特异性为80%。在区分那些不需要手术的异常情况时,MR成像和EVS的敏感性和特异性均为100%。MR成像和EVS的高准确性允许对子宫异常进行无创鉴别,可使女性免于诊断性腹腔镜检查,促进具有成本效益的诊断。
