HSG During Menses

This patient presents with infertility. The hysterosalpingogram in the frontal view reveals normal sized endometrial cavity filled with sloughed endometrium (dark maroon filling defects in b). The contrast has been overlaid in a lighter maroon to indicate blood. These are characteristic findings of menstrual products within the endometrial cavity. The Fallopian tubes are patent.

Filling Defect

This 38 year old female presents with a history of infertility. The hysterosalpingogram shows non filling of both Fallopian tubes and a filling defect (green) in the region of the patient’s left cornu that likely is the cause of the obstructed left tube and in part the cause of the infertility. The lesion is most likely a submucosal fibroid but could also be a polyp.
