Sonography of the Pelvic Infection

Abstract

We describe sonographic findings of pelvis inflammatory disease. The diagnosis of initial acute PID (acute salpingitis) begins with a challenge for the doctor, due to the little sensibility of the clinic's criteria. The accumulation of pus inside the fallopian tube gives a location for the tubaric abscess or pyosalpinx, whose characteristic signal is the presence of purulent material in considerable quantities and is visible by means of a sonograph inside the tubal light. We refer a series of characteristic sings that advise us.
