Intrauterine adhesions (with arcuate uterus and nonfilling of right Fallopian tube)

Discussion:

Intrauterine adhesions/synechiae can have a wide variety of appearances, from irregularity of the walls of the endometrium (as in this example) to gross adhesions between the walls, or even elimination of nearly the entire uterine cavity by scar.

One of the possible sequelae of intrauterine adhesions is infertility. It can also result in amenorrhea or chronic pelvic pain.

Adhesions most often occur as a sequelae of instrumentation (as in this case). Pelvic inflammatory disease or intrauterine tuberculosis may also result in adhesions.
