Uterine fistulas are infrequent pathologic entities characterized by abnormal communication of the uterus with any other organ or structure through a perforation formed due to traumatic and infectious conditions among others. The use of hysterosonography as method of diagnosis for that pathologic entity has few descriptions in medical literature. MEDLINE search resulted in only two cases reporting the use of HS in the diagnosis of uterine fistula.
Our objective is to report a case of uteroperitoneal fistula caused by uterine trauma during curettage, diagnosed by color Doppler hysterosonogrphy. The importance of our report lies on HS as a simple, safe and low cost method, which can be used for the diagnosis of fistulous processes involving the uterus.
子宫瘘是一种罕见的病理情况,其特征是子宫通过因创伤、感染等原因形成的穿孔与其他任何器官或结构异常相通。在医学文献中,将子宫超声造影作为该病理情况的诊断方法的描述很少。医学文献数据库检索仅发现两例报告使用子宫超声造影诊断子宫瘘的病例。
我们的目的是报告一例刮宫术中子宫创伤导致的子宫腹膜瘘病例,该病例通过彩色多普勒子宫超声造影诊断。我们报告的重要性在于子宫超声造影是一种简单、安全且低成本的方法,可用于诊断涉及子宫的瘘管病变。
