Structural pathologies in the uterine cavity such as müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) and intrauterine lesions (fibroids, polyps, synechiae) may have important roles in subinfertility, implantation failure and pregnancy outcome. Various imaging modalities such as hysterosalpingography (HSG), sonography, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are used in the evaluation of MDAs and intrauterine lesions. Rec...

Women patients admitted to a district general hospital with non-gynaecological conditions were offered a cervical smear test. In three years 2296 women were tested. Serious uterine pathology was detected in 13 patients (5.7 per 1000) and significant cytological abnormalities (dyskaryosis of all grades) in 46 (20.0 per 1000). Of the women screened 963 (41.9%) had never had a smear test before an...

Uterine leiomyomata (myomas) are associated with a variety of characteristic cytogenetic abnormalities. The significance of these chromosomal aberrations in the pathobiology of myomas remains to be determined. The present study investigated the relationship between myoma cytogenetic abnormalities and size. A total of 114 myoma specimens were obtained from 92 patients undergoing myomectomy or hy...

Uterine vascular lesions are rare but potentially life-threatening lesions that should be suspected in women of reproductive age with unexplained vaginal bleeding and in postmenopausal women in whom anechoic structures are detected at ultrasonography (US). This is especially true in patients with a history of infection, curettage, therapeutic abortion, pelvic surgery, endometrial carcinoma, or ...

Spontaneous uterine rupture (SUR), a public health problem in developing countries, is a rare but hazardous obstetric complication with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Cases of rupture are more likely to occur in a scarred uterus, usually after a previous caesarean delivery. Spontaneous unscarred uterus rupture (SUUR) in primigravid women is usually unexpected and extrem...

Background: Uterine anomalies are thought to be one of the reasons recurrent miscarriages, and have been found in as many 10% 15% individuals who had several miscarriages. Before submitting patients another pregnancy, it is critical rule out any intrauterine abnormality. In situations pregnancy loss, office hysteroscopy has shown a highly useful technique diagnosing treating anatomical reasons....

Introduction: Despite reports of pseudo lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in recent years, we recently experienced a misdiagnosis of pseudo-LVSI after TLH for uterine myoma, having observed irregularities in excised specimens. Additional surgery found no abnormalities, resulting in an unfortunate case of overtreatment. For this reason, we reviewed ...

An abattoir survey of the female reproductive tracts of 80 camels was conducted to evaluate the gross and microscopic abnormalities. An incidence of (32.5%) of disorders was recorded from 26 female. 16 camels (20%) had uterine lesions and 10 camels (12.5%) had ovarian lesions. Salpingitis occurred in three camels (3.75%) that also had uterine inflammations. Uterine inflammations were 12 cases (...

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenital is a rare condition defined as contractures in multiple joints at birth due to disorders starting in fetal life. Its etiology is associated with many different conditions and in many instances remains unknown. The final common pathway to all of them is decreased fetal movement (fetal akinesia) due to an abnormal intrauterine environment. Causes of decreased f...
