hydrosalpinx

hydrosalpinx /hy·dro·sal·pinx/ (-sal´pinks) a collection of watery fluid in a uterine tube, occurring as the end stage of pyosalpinx.

hy·dro·sal·pinx (h

-s

ngks)

The accumulation of serous fluid in the fallopian tube.

hydrosalpinx

[hī′drōsal′pingks]

Etymology: Gk, hydor + salpinx, tube

an abnormal condition of the fallopian tube in which it is cystically enlarged and filled with clear fluid. It is the result of an infection that has previously occluded the tube at both ends. The purulent material produced by the infection undergoes liquefaction during resolution of the acute phase of the inflammatory process.

Gynecology A fluid-filled, dilated fallopian tube/oviduct, which is closed at the fimbriated end, thereby precluding successful pregnancy; hydrosalpinx is typically an end-stage of gonorrhea, which follows resolution of the infection
