Hydrosalpinx picture
Hydrosalpinx is a
dilated Fallopian tube, which is filled with watery, sterile fluid. It is usually the
result of pelvic inflammatory disease and associated salpingitis. Periovarian and
peritubal adhesions result in tubal obstruction and hydrosalpinx. Infertility is the most
important clinical sequela, while chronic pelvic pain may also be present. |
