BACKGROUND Normal morphological features of the maternal pelvis are an important prerequisite to vaginal delivery. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the association between obstetric conjugate diameter (OCD) measured by ultrasonography and the type of delivery, vaginally (V) or by cesarean (C) section. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pelvimetry was performed in 200 primigravid women for fetal cephalic p...

The evolving role of imaging techniques and endoscopic tools used in gynecologic practice has become essential over the last several years. Pelvic organs of the young girl are deeply hidden in the abdomen and the vagina is narrow and atrophic. The presence of an intact hymen provides an additional obstacle to vaginal examination. Therefore, bimanual pelvic (vaginal/rectal) examination has a lim...

We present a case of a fetal adrenal hemorrhage, a rare disease in fetal life, detected prenatally at 36 weeks' gestation by ultrasound. Routine ultrasound examination at 36 weeks' gestation by primary obstetrician showed a cyst on the fetal suprarenal area. Initially, the suspected diagnosis was a fetal adrenal hemorrhage, but we should diagnose differently from neuroblastoma. Subsequent ultra...

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a frequent prenatal problem that affects the women of all ages. AUB condition in which vaginal occur absence pregnancy. The most common and easily available imaging procedure ultrasonography. Our study aimed to investigate correlation between sonographic findings histopathological examination hysterectomy specimens perimenopausal with AUB. Study de...

PURPOSE To determine if the presence of infectious agents in vaginal or cervical content can alter the results of the insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (phIGFBP-1) test and the measurement of cervical length (CC) by transvaginal ultrasonography. METHODS A total of 107 pregnant women with a history of spontaneous preterm birth were submitted to the phIGFBP-1 test and to measurement ...

Hematometrocolpos is accumulation of blood in the vagina and uterine cavity due to intra-uterine hemorrhage. A 20-year-old female presented to our clinic with massive menorrhagia at menarche after progestin usage. Hematometrocolpos was detected by transabdominal ultrasonography. She was pale because of heavy bleeding for 5 days and hemoglobin level was measured as 5.1 g/dl. Initial treatment wa...

An 18-month-year old mixed breed bitch was referred to the Animal Hospital of Adnan Menderes University suffering from recurrent serous vaginal discharge for two months. Her temperature, pulsation, appetite and also hematologic parameters were normal. Transabdominal ultrasound scan revealed fullness in bifurcation uteri and bright echoes suggestive of bone caudally. During hysterotomy, retained...

Endometrial osseous metaplasia is a very rare disease related to secondary infertility. A 42-year-old woman, a North Korean defector, visited for gynecological exam. She presented with a history of secondary infertility. She had two previous pregnancies and both were voluntarily terminated at 14 and 16 years ago. Vaginal delivery at about 20 weeks in the fi rst gestation 16 years ago; and dilat...

The transperineal ultrasound (TPU) value of the angle of progression (AOP) during fetal head engagement, at station 0, is a critical cut-off for current obstetrical practice, especially when intrapartum instrumental interventions are required. Still, controversial measurements were reported in previous high resolution imagistic studies. Our TPU and direct "gold-standard" magnetic resonance (MRI...

We present a case of retained placenta accreta treated by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation followed by hysteroscopic resection. The patient was diagnosed as submucosal myoma based on ultrasonography in local clinic. Pathologic examination of several pieces of tumor mass from the hysteroscopic procedure revealed necrotic chorionic villi with calcification. HIFU was performed usi...
