An unusual presentation of huge cervical fibroid.

Ileal Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp Causing Ileoileal Intussusception

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon but well documented solitary polypoid lesions occurring in gastrointestinal tract; most commonly in stomach followed by ileum and rarely in colon, duodenum and oesophagus. Polyps in ileum most commonly present with acute intestinal obstruction as a result of intussusception. We describe one case of inflammatory fibroid polyps of the small intestine causi...

Postoperative Urinary Retention Following Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery for Degenerative Cervical Disc Diseases

BACKGROUND Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) may cause bladder dysfunction, urinary tract infection, and catheter-related complications. It is important to be aware and to be able to identify patients at risk of developing POUR. However, there has been no study that has investigated the incidence and risk factors for the development of POUR following anterior cervical spine surgery for deg...

Severe adolescent menorrhagia due to cervical fibroid.

A rare case of severe menorrhagia in a young girl with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is presented. On thorough investigations (blood tests and ultrasound) nothing substantial came up, hence ultimately pelvic examination under anesthesia was undertaken, which uncovered a cervical polyp 2.5 × 2.5 × 1.5 cm size, with a intracervical broad base, presenting at the external os but not protruding...

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp in the Jejunum Causing Small Bowel Intussusception

Intussusceptions are defined as the telescoping of one segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent distal segment. In the small bowel, intussusceptions are typically caused by benign processes, but can occasionally be caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps, which often present as intussusception and bowel obstruction. These polyps are rare, benign, tumorous lesions in the gastrointest...
