[Diagnosis of Asherman's syndrome (intrauterine synechiae)]

On the basis of 120 cases, the authors discuss the diagnostic problems of the Asherman's syndrome. They propose the accomplishment of hysterography in all cases when amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, sterility or infertility develops after curettage during gestation period and puerperium. They describe the technical difficulties of X-ray examination, the appraisal of medicine certificates and the problems of differential diagnosis. The diagnosis of intrauterine synechia is usally based on the roentgen examination, but uterine sounding must also be performed, and these findings must be compared with the symptoms.
