Ultrasound (US) effectively identifies gynecologic emergencies and guides treatment, but requires clinical history for precise diagnosis of lesion nature. It aids in confirming pathology and assessing peritoneal involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Gynecologic emergencies present as acute abdomen, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnosis.
  • Ultrasound (US) is a key imaging modality in evaluating these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role of ultrasound in diagnosing gynecologic emergencies.
  • To assess US's ability to identify lesions, peritoneal involvement, and guide treatment decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 105 patients with acute abdomen of suspected gynecologic origin.
  • Patients categorized into three groups based on US findings and treatment: immediate surgery, medical therapy, or no gynecologic findings.

Main Results:

  • US confirmed various gynecologic pathologies including ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, and tubo-ovarian abscesses.

  • Ultrasound effectively identified active conditions and peritoneal involvement, guiding medical or surgical management.
  • Diagnosis of lesion nature solely by US was limited without correlation to clinical history.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound is a valuable tool for initial assessment and management of gynecologic emergencies.
    • Accurate clinical history is crucial for definitive diagnosis of lesion nature when using ultrasound.
