Technique and diagnostic utility of saline infusion sonohysterography
The introduction of saline infusion sonohysterography has significantly improved sonographic diagnosis of various endometrial pathologies. This procedure entails instillation of warm saline into the uterine cavity transcervically to provide enhanced visualization of the endometrium during transvaginal ultrasound examination. This article reviews the sonohysterography technique and current utility, as well as the spectrum of imaging features of various endometrial pathologies.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/135202/1/ijgo5.pd
Cyst distortion: a new sonographic sign of peritoneal pseudocyst with regular morphology
Prenatal diagnosis of tethered spinal cord associated with sacrococcygeal teratoma
Tethered spinal cord is mostly caused by myelomeningocele and lipomyelomeningocele, while dermal sinus tract, diastematomyelia, lipoma, tumor, thickened/tight filum terminale, spinal trauma, and spinal surgery are among the other causes. Prenatal diagnosis of tethered cord has been reported, and it is usually associated with neural tube defects. We present an atypical presentation of a tethered spinal cord, which was associated with a sacrococcygeal teratoma and was diagnosed in the 23rd week of pregnancy by ultrasonography.
