BACKGROUND Although Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is rare, it can cause life-threatening complications. The increasing rate of Cesarean delivery plus rapid development of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) may increase the occurrence of CSP as well as the ratio of heterotopic CSP (HCSP)/CSP. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of CSP are necessary to avoid serious complicati...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous preterm labor is one of the common obstetrics problems causing several physical, psychological and economical outcomes. Although due to these outcomes and the efficacy of cares for decreasing them, preterm labor screening is cost-effective and it is still one of the challenging issues in obstetrics.

We present here a case of fore-lying of the umbilical cord. In this case, transvaginal sonography did not reveal the umbilical cord beyond the fetal head before maternal urination; however, 5 minute later, a fore-lying umbilical cord was revealed between the floating fetal head and the uterine cervix after urination. The present case indicates the importance of careful evaluation of preterm pre...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of transvaginal power Doppler sonography with spectral Doppler analysis as an aid in preoperatively distinguishing primary ovarian carcinoma and metastatic carcinoma to the ovary (Krukenberg tumors). METHODS Fifty women with ovarian disease were preoperatively examined with transvaginal power Doppler sonography. Six basic parame...

BACKGROUND According to previous studies, even after embryonic cardiac activity is detected, the pregnancy loss rate remains 3-4 %. The objectives of this study were to investigate the differences in ultrasound parameters between a miscarriage group and an ongoing pregnancy group during the 1(st) trimester and to build a logistic model to predict early pregnancy loss (EPL) after the appearance ...

A cycle of IVF was begun for her. After an antagonist cycle, 10 oocyte have been retrieved by puncture and three 8-cell grade 1 embryos have been freshly placed in the uterus. Four weeks after transferring the embryo, transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) was performed in which a gestational sac of about 4 mm without fetal pole and yolk sac were reported in the uterine cavity. No abnormality was report...

Ectopic Pregnancy is an important health problem and accounts for 10% of maternal mortality [1]. Ovarian pregnancy is even rarer accounting for 0.15-3% of all ectopic gestations [2]. The diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy is difficult and seldom made before surgery. Ultrasound, especially transvaginal scanning (TVS) has proved to be an invaluable tool in the diagnosis of this condition. Here we rep...
