PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the value of 3-dimensional sonography in the diagnosis of @entity154 , which cause @entity249 , @entity3152 , and first @entity5852 . METHODS: A prospective study was undertaken in which 40 @entity1 with histories of repeated spontaneous @entity5852 or @entity249 were first examined using conventional 2-dimensional sonography or hysterosalpingography. Three-dimensional transvaginal sonography was then performed. RESULTS: Twenty-eight @entity1 had m  llerian duct abnormalities, and 12 @entity1 had normal uterine anatomy. M  llerian duct defects detected in this study were unicornuate uterus (3), bicornuate uterus (3), complete or partial septate uterus (12), arcuate uterus (9), and didelphic uterus (1). The diagnosis of m  llerian duct anomalies in these @entity1 was confirmed by laparoscopic and/or hysteroscopic examinations. Three-dimensional sonography demonstrated all @entity154 with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Separate uterus and bicornuate uterus could be correctly diagnosed using 3-dimensional sonography in 11 (92%) of 12 cases and 3 (100%) of 3 cases, respectively. These 2 abnormalities were commonly confused with each other using hysterosalpingography and conventional sonography. CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional sonography with image reconstruction is less expensive and less invasive than hysterosalpingography for the assessment of uterine anatomy and diagnosis of m  llerian duct abnormalities. The ability to visualize both the uterine cavity and the myometrium on a 3-dimensional scan facilitates the diagnosis of @entity4547 and enables the differentiation of septate from bicornuate uteri for preoperative surgical planning.
