PARASITIC UTERINE MYOMATA.

Uterine myomata and outcome of assisted reproduction.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of uterine myomata on the implantation rate and outcome in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Among 406 patients, 51 (12.6%) were found to have uterine corporeal myomata. Twelve patients were excluded from the study as they had large myomata, submucous myomata or intramural myomata encroaching on the cavity. The...

Myomata of the Uterus

Computed tomography angiogram for failed uterine artery embolization.

It was the aim of this study to discuss the efficacy of computed tomography angiography after failed uterine artery embolization. We performed a review of cases where embolization of myomata failed to relieve symptoms, or shrink myomata. If MRI showed continued uptake, patients were offered CT angiograms to better direct therapy. Repeat embolization details were compared with findings on CT ang...

Endometrial changes associated with myomata of the uterus.

The endometrium of 30 uteruses with myomata was studied at four standard sites. Glandular atrophy over a myoma or opposite a myoma was the most constant finding. At the margin of a myoma hyperplastic glands were frequently found, and distorted, elongated, or dilated glands were present at this site in half of all specimens. Other changes included adenomyosis and the separation of glands by musc...

An Extremely Rare Distant non Communicating Uterine Horn Mimicking Parasitic Leiomyoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital anomaly which occurs due to partial development of mullerian duct system. Patient with unicornuate uterus usually present with dysmenorrhoea, hematometra and endometriosis during their reproductive period. In the absence of these symptoms, proper identification and diagnosis of mullerian anomaly becomes difficult. Sometimes during laparoscopy it can mimic...
