Endo-vaginal ultrasound scan pelvis was <br>done in real time in axial and saggital planes. <br>Imaging of the examination was directed towards <br>evaluation of the uterus and any intrauterine <br>contents. Endometrial thickness of >12mm on EVS <br>was considered positive for diagnosis of RPOC <br>which was later on confirmed with <br>histopathology(HP) . Comparisons was then made <br>between EVS and HP findings. <br>Results: Mean age of selected patients was 30.8 <br>years age ± 3.9 and mean gestational age 17.2 weeks <br>± 1.8 SD . Patients positive on EVS were 63.0% and <br>patients positive on HP were 72.5%. Sensitivity, <br>specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy were found to be <br>71.7%, 60.0%, 82.5%, 44.6% and 68.5% respectively. <br>Conclusion: Endovaginal ultrasonography allows <br>detection of RPOC with reasonable accuracy.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={Kulsoom Iqbal, Sidra Manzoor, Rabia Waseem Butt, Manal Niazi, Ume Kulsoom, Umairah Kalim, Kulsoom Iqbal, Sidra Manzoor, Rabia Waseem Butt,Manal Niazi,Ume Kulsoom, Umairah Kalim}, year={2019}, month={May} }
