Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with amenorrhea. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of the diseases that can cause amenorrhea, such as Turner syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome and also anatomic genital defects.
CT Scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with amenorrhea. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of the diseases that can cause amenorrhea, such as Turner syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome and also anatomic genital defects.
Turner syndrome
The main finding on a CT angiogram suggestive of Turner syndrome is Coarctation of aorta.[1]
Androgen insensitivity syndrome
- Findings on a CT scan suggestive of androgen insensitivity syndrome include:[2]
- Bilateral cryptorchidism
- Juxta-testicular Mullerian duct cysts
Anatomic genital defects
- Findings on a CT scan suggestive of septate uterus include:[3]
- Convex fundal contour
- Acute angle of <75% between uterine cavities
