Although premature separation of normally implanted placenta is considered the most serious complication of pregnancy, knowledge of uterine behaviour during this con­dition is meager, on the basis of electronic recording of intra-uterine pressure two type of contraction pattern has been identified.  In type I uterine tonus has values below 30mmHg  with a frequency of 4-9 contractions per 10 m...

the uterine rupture during pregnancy is a catastrophic condition resulting in both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. it occurs in nearly 1% of patients with previous cesarean sections. however, uterine rupture at the site of previous iatrogenic perforation which is spontaneously healed or repaired is less reported. we present a 29-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, at 20 weeks of g...

OBJECTIVE To report obstetric outcomes in a series of women with prior uterine rupture or prior uterine dehiscence managed with a standardized protocol. METHODS Series of patients delivered by a single maternal-fetal medicine practice from 2005 to 2013 with a history of uterine rupture or uterine dehiscence. Uterine rupture was defined as a clinically apparent, complete scar separation in lab...

Background The maternal and fetal risks of uterine distension in rapidly progressive twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in the setting of prior uterine scar are poorly characterized. Case We present the case of a 42-year-old woman, G4P1201, at 21 weeks gestation with stage-1 TTTS who developed a spontaneous posterior uterine rupture necessitating emergent laparotomy and delivery of previable...

Background: Nonpuerperal uterine inversion is a rare medical condition that many gynecologists might not be encountered even with one case during their entire medical practice. It refers to the expulsion of uterine corpus from the dilated cervix resulting in uterus being turned inside out. There are two kinds of uterine inversion, puerperal and non-puerperal, which the second condition is less ...

in this study, we demonstrate the appearance of anatomic defects of the uterine cavity on hsg after cesarian section. we define different shapes such as thin linear defect, focal saccular outpouching, unilateral or bilateral diverticula (dog-ear like) and fistula and different locations such as the uterine body, lower uterine segment, uterine isthmus and the upper endocervical canal. cesarean s...

Background & aim: Various uterine disorders lead to infertility in women of reproductive ages. This study was performed to describe the common uterine causes of infertility and sonographic evaluation of these causes for midwives.

Introduction: One of the most common reasons of infertility is un-ovulatory period. Hormone therapy is the most common treatments of this type of infertility. Gonadotropins may exert toxic effects on the molecular organization of uterine surface, such as glycoconjugates. Glycoconjugates are the most important components of the uterine and trophoblast surface playing an important role in embryo ...
