Polyethylene glycol is a ubiquitous, water-soluble, organic compound found in a wide variety of commercially available products. While generally a benign substance, in rare instances, it can induce hypersensitivity reactions. Herein, we describe a case of anaphylaxis to polyethylene glycol-containing lubricating gel used for a transvaginal ultrasound. This case highlights the importance of earl...

BACKGROUND Myolysis is one of the procedures that is claimed to provide significant improvement in myoma status without hysterectomy. Myolysis procedures have been generally performed via laparoscopy, and there are limited data on transvaginal radiofrequency (RF) myolysis. This study investigated the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transvaginal ultrasound-guided RF myolysis. METHODS Trans...

Background: Ovarian functional cyst is one of the most common pelvic mass in reproductive age which mostly resolves spontaneously. Sonography is a valuable tool for diagnosis of benign cyst with high accuracy. The objective of this cross sectional study was to evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography in detecting type of ovarian cyst and compare the results wieh cytological results. Mat...

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can cause massive hemorrhage and is often treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE), which may lead to ovarian insufficiency. Thus, avoiding UAE should be considered, particularly in women undergoing fertility treatments. We present three women diagnosed with postmiscarriage AVM on color Doppler by transvaginal ultrasound imaging. They had no genita...

Technological advances in ultrasound have contributed to improvements in prenatal diagnosis. Transvaginal scanning and harmonic imaging have allowed better resolution and improved structural characterisation. Doppler techniques have further been improved, which allow accurate flow studies of vessels in the placenta and fetus. These have contributed much to the management of intrauterine growth ...

Caesarean scar pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound and color flow Doppler provides a high diagnostic accuracy. A delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to uterine rupture, major hemorrhage, hysterectomy and serious maternal morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis can offer treatment options of avoiding uterine rupture and hemorrhage, thus prese...

Velamentous cord insertion and vasa previa can impair the fetal growth. This pathology occurs either in singleton or more often in monochorionic (MC) twin pregnancies where it can accompany the selective intrauterine growth retardation (sIUGR). This condition is related to increased fetal mortality and morbidity especially due to a very high risk of vessel rupture. Transvaginal ultrasound scree...

Oocyte retrieval guided by transvaginal ultrasound is a fundamental step in the vitro fertilization (IVF), thas performed on an outpatient basis. has been associated with pain, discomfort, and anxiety [1,2].
