Match the following structural imaging or procedural findings encountered during a female infertility evaluation with their most likely underlying diagnosis.
- Hysterosalpingogram demonstrates dilated, fluid-filled, sausage-shaped adnexal structures with an absence of free contrast spill into the peritoneal cavity.Hydrosalpinx
- Saline infusion sonohysterography shows a well-circumscribed, echogenic mass projecting directly into the endometrial cavity, distorting its contour.Submucosal leiomyoma
- Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging reveals a deep external fundal indentation (greater than 1 cm) with two distinct, widely separated endometrial cavities.Bicornuate uterus
- Hysteroscopy displays multiple dense, avascular fibrous bands bridging the anterior and posterior surfaces of the endometrium.Asherman syndrome
Cevap
The correct pairings identify structural causes of female infertility based on their classic diagnostic imaging or procedural appearances: hydrosalpinx (dilated tubes without spill), submucosal leiomyoma (intracavitary mass), bicornuate uterus (fundal indentation), and Asherman syndrome (intrauterine adhesions).
Each structural abnormality produces a distinct morphological signature on imaging or direct visualization. Hydrosalpinx involves the adnexa, submucosal leiomyoma distorts the internal endometrial cavity, bicornuate uterus alters the external fundal contour, and Asherman syndrome creates internal fibrous adhesions.
