ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of ultrasound in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous fistula (UAF).MethodsUltrasound results of 12 patients with UAF were analyzed retrospectively,and were compared with uterine artery angiography.ResultsUAF showed uneven echo signals of uterine muscle wall near endometrium or cesarean section incision and irregular echo-free zone on ultrasonographies,the typical case of which displayed “honeycomblike” change.Color Doppler ultrasound showed rich blood flow in local area and lake-like or multicolored mosaic change.Spectral Doppler waveform shape was characterized as high-speed low resistance.The ultrasonographic results of UAF were consistent with those of uterine artery angiography.ConclusionUltrasonography combined with uterine artery angiography contributes to the diagnosis of UAF.
