Popis: Pyometra is an uncommon result of endometritis. The diagnosis of pyometra is made when a collection of pus is found within the endometrial cavity. Antibiotic administration and drainage of the pus are essential to resolve this condition. A report of a case of pyometra is presented and a technique for drainage is described. This case demonstrates the use of office-based diagnostic ultrasonography to narrow the differential diagnosis and guide the drainage procedure, as well as the use of simple ingenuity to improve patient care.
