Ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition, and, although its prevalence has decreased in recent years, it is still an important cause of mortality and morbidity in women. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. Fever is one of signs of infection, and it is necessary to monitor patients closely for other signs of infection. This paper presents and discusses a case of c...

•Management of cervical leiomyosarcoma in pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach.•Ovarian preservation is preferred in young patients with early stage cervical leiomyosarcoma.•Routine lymphadenectomy in patients with early stage cervical leiomyosarcoma is not useful.

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers during pregnancy, but the management of such cases remains unclear. A Working Group was set up in 2007 in France to propose national recommendations for the management of pregnant patients with invasive cervical carcinoma. METHODS The recommendations are based on this literature review conducted by the members of the W...

Recent studies have shown that transvaginal ultrasound provides a more reliable and objective evaluation of the uterine cervix, demonstrating that the shorter the length of the cervix the higher the risk of preterm delivery. Measuring cervical volume could even be a better reflection of cervical morphology. Three-dimensional (3D) imaging combined with power Doppler, theoretically provides the p...

For pregnant patients with cervical cancer, treatment recommendations are individualized and dependent on the stage of the disease, gestational age at the time of diagnosis, and the patient's desire as to the cosntinuation of the pregnancy. The aim of this study is to describe the outcome of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with radical surgery and pelvic lymphadenectomy in a woman with cervical cancer...

Ectopic pregnancy is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in women of reproductive age especially in resource deprived areas worldwide. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare, life threatening form of ectopic pregnancy which needs a high index of suspicion for diagnosis, thus adding a complex twist to the dilemma faced by the obstetrician in resource deprived areas. A case of a cervical ecto...

background: progressions in science and technology have generated several methods for delaying preterm delivery and abortion; therefore, discovering an easy, non-invasive, practical, and non-expensive predictive factor can help us to perform preventive methods in healthy pregnant women, without any risk factors. objective: to indicate an appropriate index for predicting abortion in early pregna...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether cervical mucus aspiration before intrauterine insemination (IUI) has any effect on clinical pregnancy rates. METHOD The outcomes of 186 IUI cycles in 95 consecutive patients in whom mucus was aspired prior to IUI were compared retrospectively with those of 1057 IUI cycles in 505 women. RESULTS The pregnancy rate was 15.1% (28 pregnancies for 186 cycles) in the...

ONE of the most exciting concepts in obstetrics and gynaecology is that of the mechanical function of the cervix in the maintenance of pregnancy. In 1947 Danforth provided the first satisfactory anatomic explanation of the role of the cervix in retaining pregnancy, and pointed out the correlation of this important function with the prevention of abortion. The first clinical report of the repair...
