Septate uterus: detection and prediction of obstetrical complications by different forms of ultrasonography

The aims of the study were to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography, transvaginal color Doppler sonography, hysterosonography, and three-dimensional ultrasonography in detection of septate uterus and to evaluate the occurrence of obstetrical complications in relation to septal dimension and vascularity. Each patient underwent transvaginal ultrasonography and color Doppler examination, whereas hysterosonography and three-dimensional ultrasonography were carried out in 76 and 86 patients, respectively. The sensitivity of different sonographic imaging modalities ranges between 95.21% and 99.29%. Color and pulsed Doppler sonographic studies of the septal area revealed vascularity in 71.22%. Patients with vascularized septa had a higher prevalence of obstetrical complications than those with avascularized septa (P < 0.05). Three-dimensional ultrasonography and hysterosonography are highly accurate diagnostic tools for detection of uterine septa. We found no correlation between septal dimension and rate of obstetrical complications, although pregnancy loss was most likely to occur in patients with vascularized septa.
