Abstract
The development of the transvaginal technique has allowed for high-res olution, detailed evaluation of the female pelvis. Although not previo usly emphasized, gut pathology can also be recognized with this techni que. We report two cases of sigmoid diverticulitis which were prospect ively diagnosed using endovaginal sonography. In both patients, pelvic sonogram was the first imaging study performed for evaluation of nons pecific abdominal pain.
