We report the hysteroscopic findings in a 22 year old nulligravid patient with bilateral communicating hydrosalpinges. The inflamed hyperemic endometrial cavity encountered preoperatively normalized at second look hysteroscopy six months after bilateral tubal interruption. The patient underwent successful IVF with culmination in a singleton, live birth. We propose that an inflamed appearance at hysteroscopy, done for endometrial cavity screening, should prompt a dedicated study to rule out hydrosalpinx prior to proceeding with IVF treatment. To date, such a hysteroscopic endometrial phenotype in the presence of hydrosalpinx has not been well characterized.
