An important part of anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis treatment is prompt detection and removal of any associated ovarian teratoma, regardless of size. High-resolution transvaginal ultrasonography followed by targeted CT with adaptive iterative dose reduction (AIDR) is a useful strategy for distinguishing small ovarian teratomas from luteal cysts during pregnancy.

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine the optimal gestational age at which to establish the location and viability of an early pregnancy using transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS). METHODS This was a prospective study of 1442 women undergoing initial TVS at no more than 84 days gestation. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between gestatio...

OBJECTIVE To establish the relation between cervical length at 23 weeks of gestation in twin pregnancies and risk of spontaneous delivery before 33 weeks. METHODS Cervical length was measured by transvaginal sonography at 23 (range 22-24) weeks of gestation in 464 twin pregnancies attending for routine antenatal care. In the patients who were managed expectantly the relation between cervical ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of transvaginal ultrasonography and hysteroscopy in patients with postmenopausal bleeding.
