Asherman's syndrome: A review of the literature, and a husband and wife's 20-year world-wide experience

Abstract

Asherman's syndrome is reviewed, and 27 cases treated by us in Iran, England, New Zealand and Australia over a 20-year period are analysed. Aetiological factors and treatment are discussed. In view of the high incidence of complications in subsequent pregnancies, the need for prevention is stressed. Although more common in some countries, it is, nevertheless, of world-wide distribution and, unless looked for, will be missed.
