Background: To compare pregnancy outcomes in women at risk for cervical incompetence after elective versus ultrasound indicated cerclage. Methods: In a prospective randomized trial, singleton pregnancies with at least one previous spontaneous midtrimester loss or early preterm delivery (between 15 and 32 weeks’ gestation) who met clinical criteria for the diagnosis of cervical incompe­ tence we...

Large pelvic cysts are commonly seen in gynecologic practice; their heterogeneous origin is reflected in their pleomorphic clinical features. We report the case of a 64-year-old multiparous postmenopausal woman with an unusual manifestation of endometrial adenocarcinoma that presented as hematometra mimicking a large pelvic cyst. In this case, hematometra was well demonstrated by transabdominal...

Background: Thrombosis of parametrial veins are rarely diagnosed by transvaginal sonography. The clinical importance vein thrombosis is not known. We present the first fully documented case pelvic varicosities with non-occlusive resulting in subsequent development pain that alleviated resolution thrombus. Case report: a perimenopausal woman underwent sonography for routine check-up. patient su...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of transvaginal power Doppler sonography to discriminate between benign and malignant endometrial conditions in women presenting with postmenopausal bleeding and thickened endometrium at baseline sonography. METHODS Ninety-one postmenopausal women (median age, 58 years; range, 47-83 years) presenting with uterine bleeding and a thickened endometrium (> or = 5-mm...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynecological malignancies. However early detection can potentially improve the survival rate from 50 to 90%. Transvaginal sonography with the use of contrast-enhanced microbubbles has shown promise when used to detect malignant ovarian lesions in several studies [1-3]. This brief communication addresses the need and potential benefits of contrast enhanc...

Comparison of transabdominal and transvaginal sonography in measuring cervical lenghts in midpregnancy Objective: To compare the transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonographic measuring of cervical length in midtrimester of pregnancy. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was performed in a university hospital. The pregnant women between 18-20 weeks gestation were included to the stu...
