Amenorrhea other imaging findings
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of the anatomic defects that can cause amenorrhea. Findings on a hysterosalpingography diagnostic of Asherman syndrome include multiple irregular linear (or lacunar) filling defects showing intrauterine adhesion, inability to distend the endometrial cavity, and totally non-filled uterine mostly in severe cases. Testicular scan can be helpful in diagnosing intra-abdominal or inguinal testes seen in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome.

- Multiple irregular linear (or lacunar) filling defects showing intrauterine adhesion
- Inability to distend the endometrial cavity
