Patients:
Fifty-five PCOS and 52 male infertility patients as control group
performed ART were included in the study. Patients were retrospectively
screened for HSG. HSG images were numerated for each patient. The
numbering of HSG images of patients and filing was done by an
independent person blind to the research.
For the study, 6 shapes of intrauterine cavity were figured, in
accordance with the definitions in the ESGE - ESHRE classification.
(Figure1)
Figure I uterine cavity is accepted as normal in both classifications.
Figure II uterine cavity is class VI in the ASRM classification and not
classified as an abnormality in the ESGE - ESHRE classification and is
considered a variance of the normal, formerly named as arcuate uterine
cavity.
Figures III, IV and V uterine cavities are Va, Vb and VII numbered in
ASRM classification, and U2a, U2b and U1a in ESGE - ESHRE
classification, respectively.
Figure VI uterine cavity is Y-shaped uterus, which has been frequently
spoken in recent years but doesn’t have any place in classifications.
This definition is not included in ASRM and it can be put in the class
named U1c in ESGE - ESHRE classification.
All patients included in the study had unicorpus detected by
ultrasonographic evaluation.
