Uterine inversion is a rare condition that is accompanied by massive hemorrhaging and shock, resulting in a maternal emergency. The diagnosis of uterine inversion is often difficult due to massive postpartum hemorrhaging. Ultrasonography is useful for the diagnosis in such conditions, but we do not often encounter typical ultrasonographic images in uterine inversion because it occurs rarely. In...

The authors describe a case report of a uterine diverticulum in a postmenopausal woman with abnormal uterine bleeding, confirmed by 3-dimensional ultrasonography and hysteroscopy. They comment on the clinical significance of this rare lesion.

To assess the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography and uterine needle biopsy, used singly or in combination, in the diagnosis of diffuse adenomyosis, a prospective study with pathological confirmation of the diagnosis was performed. A total of 102 premenopausal women scheduled for hysterectomy because of menorrhagia and/or pelvic pain underwent preoperative transvaginal ultrasonography. ...

Pulmoner sekestrasyon, trakeobronşiyal damar sistemi ile bağlantısı olmayan ve anormal bir sistemik damarlanması olan pulmoner dokulardır. Konjenital anomaliler ile ilişkisi ise nadir değildir. Ancak bugüne kadar pulmoner vasküler anomali ile olan ilişki henüz literatürde tanımlanmamıştır. Bu yazıda, 20 yaşında pulmoner vasküler anomali ve artmış pulmoner arter basıncı ile ilişkili intralober s...

Background Preeclampsia is a specific pregnancy syndrome. Early diagnosis and proper administration of preeclampsia can lead to improved maternal and neonatal outcome. We aimed to investigate the uterine artery Doppler ultrasound in predicting the preeclampsia in women with a high-risk pregnancy. Materials and Methods This analytic study was conducted on 160 primigravida women with gestational...

PURPOSE It is difficult to differentiate between central precocious puberty (CPP) and premature thelarche (PT) in girls. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic usefulness of pelvic ultrasonography to distinguish between CPP and PT in girls with early breast development. METHODS This study included girls with early breast development who visited the clinic between January 2012...

Objective To compare ultrasonographic features of uterine lesions with the findings at macroscopy and microscopy. Methods Case series of ten consecutive women undergoing a hysterectomy for uterine pathology. A preoperative transvaginal ultrasound examination was performed. After hysterectomy, the uterus was re-evaluated by 3D in vitro ultrasonography and in vitro gel instillation sonography (...

BACKGROUND Uterine blood flow is an important factor in uterine viability, but the number of blood vessels required to maintain viability is uncertain. In this study, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging was used to examine uterine hemodynamics and vessels associated with uterine blood flow in cynomolgus macaque. METHODS The uterus of a female cynomolgus macaque was cut from the vagin...

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography, hysteroscopy and uterine curettage in the diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucous myoma and endometrial hyperplasia, using as gold standard the histopathological analysis of biopsy samples obtained during hysteroscopy or uterine curettage. Methods Cross-sectional study performed at the Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB)...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of placenta accreta and to define the most relevant specific ultrasound and MRI features that may predict placental invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was approved by the institutional review board of the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. We retrospectively reviewe...
