Small outpouching or diverticula from the isthmic portion of the fallopian tubes.
Findings suggest salpingitis isthmica nodosum of both fallopian tubes.
Case Discussion
Salpingitis isthmica nodosa is thought to be an inflammatory condition, but the exact cause is unknown. It is a known cause of infertility. This pathology affects the isthmus of one or both fallopian tubes.
It is a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy and is associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. This condition is usually diagnosed by an hysterosalpingography, during an assessment of infertility.
