Introduction: Adnexal auto-amputation is a rare complication of fetal ovarian torsion. We present a case of adnexal auto-amputation and its laparoscopic treatment in a newborn. In this article, to discuss different techniques, we also reviewed newborn and infant cases of adnexal auto-amputation reported in the literature and treated laparoscopically. Case Description/Technique Description: A 2-...

PURPOSE To document the incidence and treatment of patients with severe ocular and ocular adnexal injuries during Operation Iraqi Freedom. DESIGN Retrospective hospital-based observational analysis of injuries. PARTICIPANTS All coalition forces, enemy prisoners of war, and civilians with severe ocular and ocular adnexal injuries. METHODS The authors retrospectively examined severe ocular ...

AIM To assess the diagnostic value of the risk of malignancy indices and simple ultrasound- based rules in preoperative differentiation of adnexal masses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective examination of 87 patients admitted to hospital due to adnexal tumors. The lesions were evaluated on the basis of international ultrasound classification of ovarian tumors and four risk of malignancy indic...

This review will present the added value of perfusion and diffusion MR sequences to characterize adnexal masses. These two functional MR techniques are readily available in routine clinical practice. We will describe the acquisition parameters and a method of analysis to optimize their added value compared with conventional images. We will then propose a model of interpretation that combines th...

The author discusses assessment and referral considerations for clinicians in a primary care setting when pelvic or adnexal mass has been detected order to rule out potential ovarian malignancy.

Despite of the fact that the vulva contains a high density of apocrine and anogenital mammary glands in addition to eccrine glands and folliculosebaceous units, the benign vulvar adnexal tumours are rare. Though the varied clinical presentation and diverse histopathological spectrum of vulvar neoplasms has amazed the pathologists, only few studies have been reported in literature. The present f...

Splenosis is a very rare entity that often appears following a traumatic rupture of the spleen or after splenectomy and represents heterotopic transplantation of splenic tissue. The ovary is reported as an atypical and rare localization. We report a case of a middle-aged woman, which presented with a left adnexal mass. Transvaginal ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and high-field 3T mag...

To compare postoperative adhesion formation following ovarian reconstruction with fibrin glue or the microsurgical suturing technique, an experimental study was performed on sixteen adult female rabbits. While left ovaries were reapproximated with 6-0 coated polyglactin using a microsurgical technique, right ovaries were reconstructed with fibrin glue following ovarian bisection. Four weeks lat...
