Ptrpose: To evaluate the sonohysterography (SHG) for the diagnosis of intrauterine abnormalities and describe complications and failure rate. Study design: A prospective survey on 81 patients, (44 patients with menometrorrhagia, 30 with postmenopausal bleeding and 7 with infertility) was conducted, Histopathology and clinical survey, if sonohysterography was normal, were the gold standards. Results: Pathology has been performed in 55 cases. There were four failures (cervical stenosis). one severe complication (endometritis), one pelvic pain. Sensitivity and specificity of sonography were 56 and 83% for sonohysterography 88 and 98% and for hysteroscopy 78 and 97%. Sonohysterography was accurate for the diagnosis of the submucous myoma component. Conclusion: Sonohysterography is available in uterine pathology. easy. safe and cheap. but sonographists and patients should be informed of the little risks of such examination technique.
