Küstner-Chukalov Sign

The Küstner–Chukalov sign (CHS) is a method for diagnosing pregnancy that is used in gynecology. This method was developed by German gynecologists Otto Eduard Kustner and Nikolai Nikolaev Chukalov in 1902.

CCP is based on monitoring changes in the shape and size of a pregnant woman’s uterus during its development. The uterus increases in size every day, and at the same time its deformation occurs, which can be noticeable on an ultrasound.

To conduct CCP, it is necessary to conduct an ultrasound of the pregnant woman’s uterus to determine its shape and size. If the uterus is shaped like a pear or an egg, this may indicate pregnancy. You can also determine at what stage of pregnancy a woman is.

This diagnostic method is very accurate and allows you to detect pregnancy in the early stages, which is very important for timely initiation of treatment if necessary. In addition, CCP can be used to determine the sex of the unborn child.

The Küstnera-Chukalova sign is a characteristic sign of pyosalpinx, caused by the anatomical features of the structure of the ovary in the form of thickening of the cortical layer - a blunted edge of the ovarian membrane. Tension of the blood vessels of the cortex at this level leads to the formation of hyperemia. A typical symptom of pyosalapsis is a disease that is associated with inflammation of the ovaries in women. This condition can be caused by an infection, such as bacterial, fungal or viral.

In the last century, pyosalpinx was considered a dangerous disease, the treatment of which was carried out surgically. However, there are now effective treatments for pyosalynix using antibiotics and physical therapy. In addition, diagnosis of this disease has become easier through the use of ultrasound and other diagnostic methods.

Kustner–Chuka sign

Küstener-Tsukalova sign (Kyastener-Chukalova sign, Kystener-tsukalov sign, English term for Russia) is a radiological sign used in the diagnosis of cervical tumors. The discovery was proposed in 1906 by the German gynecologist O. E. Küster and confirmed in 1912 by the Russian gynecologist N. N. Chukalov. The name was first proposed in 1954, since the opening of the Russian Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute, by I. F. Yurenev and F. I. Dovzhikov.
