    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To review the hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings in women investigated for infertility in a tertiary center in north eastern Nigeria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of HSG films of 272 women investigated for infertility between January 2000 and December 2006 were reviewed. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty (47.8%) were investigated for primary infertility, while 142 (52.2%) were investigated for secondary infertility. Most of the women investigated for infertility by HSG had abnormal findings 192(70.6%). The most common pathology revealed among the infertile women was tuboperitoneal factor in 196 (72.1%) followed by uterine synechia in 35(12.9%). Seventeen (6.3%) had bilateral tubal block and 5 (1.8%) had bicornuate uterus. CONCLUSION: HSG is helpful in the investigation of infertile women.
