Gerard G. Nahum, MD I this issue, Drs. Samuels and Awonuga1 examine a case of uterine rupture associated with a second-trimester pregnancy within a congenital rudimentary uterine horn after administration of misoprostol. It is important because it emphasizes 1) the increased dangers associated with pregnancies that reside within congenital rudimentary uterine horns, 2) the importance of identif...

We evaluate the changes on the hydrological (temperature and salinity) and biogeochemical (phytoplankton biomass) characteristics of the Mediterranean Sea induced by freshwater flow modifications under two different scenarios for the end of the 21st century. An ensemble of four regional climate model realizations using different global circulation models at the boundary and different emission s...

Background: Three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (3D TVS) represents a new technique of imaging and provides a unique diagnostic tool for non-invasive examination of the uterine morphology and diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies. In this study the clinical value of 3D TVS in diagnosis of uterine cavity abnormalities were evaluated. Methods: A prospective of diagnostic accuracy s...

INTRODUCTION One percent of couples trying to have children are affected by recurrent miscarriage. These pregnancy losses have different pathogenetic (genetic, endocrine, anatomic, immunologic, microbiologic, haematologic and andrologic) backgrounds, but recurrent miscarriage remains unexplained in more than half of the affected couples. AIM To explore risk factors for recurrent pregnancy los...

The uterus plays a major role in sperm migration, embryo implantation, and fetal development. Congenital uterine anomalies and acquired uterine lesions may affect such uterine functions precluding successful pregnancy. Despite advances in the field of assisted reproductive techniques (ART), only one-third of cycles started end in a pregnancy and one-fourth result in a live birth [1]. Intrauteri...

mullerian duct anomalies (mdas) are relatively common disorders that are particularly responsible for obstetrical complications and have a prevalence of about 3%-4% in the general population (1, 2). uterine malformations may result from arrested development of the mullerian ducts, failure of fusion of the mullerian ducts or failure of resorption of the median septum (1, 2).

recent advances in reproductive medicine have created a demand for more accurate and safe imaging modalities before assisted reproductive treatment(art) (1). gradually, the important role of three-dimensional (3d) ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine congenital anomalies has been proved (2-4).

Abnormal fusion of the mullerian ducts causes variyng degrees of congenital uterine anomalies, associated with reproductive problems. Twin gestation in a case of bicornuate uterus is extremely rare and with a poor reproductive performance. We are reporting this case because there are only a few cases, less than 20, in previous reports.

Post-partum haemorrhage is a major determinant of maternal mortality. Traditionally, cases of post-partum haemorrhage caused by arterial injuries were managed by caesarean hysterectomies or bilateral internal iliac artery ligations. The diagnosis of aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations of uterine artery are often missed. Uterine curettage, caesarean section or vaginal delivery can result in...
