Abstract:
An 28-year-old Moroccan woman with primary infertility and OLIGO-amenorrhea was referred for hysteroscopic synechiolysis. When a diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed, a bizarre, irregular, 'cloudy' endometrium was seen. The diagnosis endometrial tuberculosis was confirmed by histological examination. Treatment with antituberculosis drug therapy resulted in a normal menstrual cycle. A normal endometrium and uterine cavity was seen at control hysteroscopy. Because of extensive irreparable tubal damage this patient will be offered IVF treatment.
