Unicornuate uterus with noncommunicating rudimentary horn occurs due to incomplete fusion of mullerian ducts. Pregnancy in this horn is a rare phenomenon usually resulting in rupture during second trimester of pregnancy. Prerupture diagnosis of pregnancy in rudimentary horn with ultrasonography is technically difficult, with sensitivity of 30%. We report a case of ruptured non-communicating rud...

Spontaneous uterine rupture in early pregnancy is a very rare complication and it occurs usually in scarred uteri. Here we present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture at 13 weeks of gestation in a 32-year-old woman. Our preoperative diagnosis was also uterine rupture. Emergency laparotomy confirmed our initial diagnosis. Clinical signs of uterine rupture in early pregnancy are nonspecific and...

Although the pathology of endometriosis remains unknown, the genetic predisposition plays an apparent role. Several genes have been contributed to endometriosis, but it seems KRAS has a crucial role, because its activation results...

There is still not enough evidence that endometriosis per se and infertility are causally related. While extensive pelvic adhesions or the loss of ovarian tissue clearly bears out the causative role of endometriosis this is more difficult in other patients. Several randomized controlled trials and observational studies have in fact reported almost uniform negative results: • spontaneous pregnan...

INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to investigate clinical, lifestyle, and environmental factors associated with endometrioma (OMA) and/or deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) as determined by case-control comparison [women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP) or no endometriosis], and compare differences between factor associated with endometriosis at a national level. METHODS ...

Stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) should be the first choice treatment for mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility or minimal to mild endometriosis. In mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, IUI is as effective as IVF & at 1/3 of the cost per pregnancy. In couples with the most severe semen defects, IUI in natural cycle should be the treatment of choice. I...

METHODS We prospectively enrolled 110 women of reproductive age; 69 with ovarian endometriomas and scheduled for surgery, and 41 controls. At enrolment, a detailed medical...
