Overview
The Israeli gynecologist Joseph Asherman is credited with describing and characterizing the disease, hence it is called Asherman syndrome.
Historical Perspective
- Intrauterine adhesions were first described in 1894 by Heinrich Fritsch (Fritsch, 1894)[1] and further characterized and described by the gynecologist Joseph Asherman in 1948 [2].
- Asherman though that intrauterine adhesions may be linked to prior endometrial trauma.
- He later published more case series of intrauterine adhesions with documented results of hysterography, with evident filling defects. It is also known as Fritsch syndrome, or Fritsch-Asherman syndrome.
