dc.description.abstract | A prospective and retrospective study to determine the pattern of female pelvic disease
undergoing pelvic ultrasonography at Kenyatta National Hospital and the Department of
Diagnostic Radiology of the University of Nairobi.
A total of399 patients were reviewed over a period of6 months from September 1999 to
March 2000.
Patients covered in the study were referred for pelvic ultrasonography from the wards,
casualty, general and private clinics. They ranged from 6 years to 79 years.
The study found that 132 (33.1 %) had normal pelvic ultrasound scans while 267 (66.1%) had pelvic disease.
The commonest clinical diagnosis was pelvic pain in 89 (22.3%) of patients. Clinical
diagnosis was not given in 20 (5%) patients.
The commonest pelvic disease diagnosed on ultrasonography was adnexal disease in
131 (32.8%) patients.
97 (24.3 %) patients had uterine disease while 18 (4.5%) patients had both adnexal and
uterine disease. | en |
