Autopsy showed extensive microvascular plugging of the pulmonary capillaries by massive platelet aggregations. Aside from platelet aggregations, the keratinized substances and granulocytes were also shown in the capillary of pulmonary arterioles. These findings were not observed in other systemic organs (heart, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal, alimentary canal and pancreas). In general, the postmortem histological diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism consisted of demonstrating mucus, leukocytes, squamous, amorphous, and fatty cells in the arteries of the lung. To our knowledge, there have not been any reports regarding massive platelet aggregati...

A 45-year-old woman was referred to our department for evaluation of a mass 8 cm in diameter with solid parts in the right adnexal area. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed a mass consisting of a cystic part with an irregular thick capsule distinct from the right ovary. In the center of the cystic part, a fetus-like image, 20 mm in length was seen. Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed by the laparoscopy, which revealed a swollen right tube containing a fetus with highly necrotic changes. This case was unique because chronic e...

One of them delivered normally and the other patient had an abortion. We reviewed the literature regarding the clinical course of brucellosis in pregnant women. Brucellosis during pregnancy can be associated with abortion, congenital and neonatal infections and infection of the delivery team. Therefore treatment with a combination of rifampicin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole should be started as soon as it is diagnosed to prevent possible complications.

Acc15-15 did not occur often enough to be relevant to the definition of FHR acceleration before 32 weeks' gestation. The difference between the mean number of FHR accelerations based on 10 b.p.m. and 15 b.p.m. within a 20-min window was 2.8.

However, the present study clearly demonstrates that the risk of maternal death due to CD is significantly high, particularly when performed in labor. Therefore, CD should only be practiced when conditions clearly demand it.

We also provide a review of published reports of pseudoaneurysm after CS. A 31-year-old Japanese woman underwent CS, in which the uterine incision was extended laterally. Routine postoperative evaluation with vaginal ultrasound on postpartum day 6 revealed a parauterine mass with a maximum diameter of 49 mm with swirling flow. Selective angiography confirmed this mass as a uterine artery pseudoaneurysm. Uterine artery embolization was performed with success. Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm should be listed as a differential diagnosis of pelvic mass after CS.

The clinical behavior can be life-threatening due to extension through the pelvic veins. A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with IVL originating from a uterine leiomyoma and extending to the inferior vena cava. The patient was diagnosed on the basis of the results of various studies, and the tumor was resected completely through a single-stage approach. The intravascular tumor was 20 cm long, multinodular and rubbery. Microscopic findings showed benign smooth muscle that was partly hyalinized and fibrous. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that hyaluronan was expressed more prominently in IVL than in uterine leiomyomas. IVL has viscoelastic properties and contains a large amount of hyaluronan, which may promote invasi...

While they both occur most frequently along the paraaortic chain, paraganglioma and ovarian carcinoma very rarely occur together. A 61-year-old, post-menopausal woman visited our hospital, with complaints of abdominal pain and genital bleeding. Image analysis showed a 21 × 18 × 10 cm ovarian mass, and a 38 mm tumor at the paraaortic lesion. First, she underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the left ovary was found, and so a second surgery was performed. The paraaortic tumor was completely eliminated in spite of fluctuating blood pressure intraoperatively. Microscopic examination revealed that the paraaortic tumor was paraganglioma. She was ultimatel...

This condition rapidly progresses to a neurological emergency; however, an efficient standard treatment method is not available for this rare condition. The case presented herein is of a female patient with stage II, poorly differentiated serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary. She presented with blindness and other neurologic complaints during the course of treatment for a recurrence at 50 months after the primary surgical treatment for the tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary spinal cord metastasis and choroidal metastasis, coexisting with multiple brain metastases and intra-abdominal le...

Five patients who had undergone a previous upper abdominal laparotomy and were scheduled for gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries at our hospital were evaluated. A micro-trocar was inserted via the posterior vaginal fornix and the periumbilicus was observed using a micro-laparoscope inserted in the micro-trocar. A trocar for conventional laparoscopy was inserted into the umbilicus under micro-laparoscopic observation in the cul-de-sac to avoid visceral organ adherent to the periumbilicus. Four cases had adhesions of the transverse colon, small bowel or omentum to the upper abdomen due to previous surgery; however, we were able to accomplish laparosc...

Laparotomy revealed that no torsion of the right ovarian tumor had occurred, with uterine leiomyoma originating from the right side of a rudimentary uterus. Histopathological examination demonstrated leiomyoma of the rudimentary uterus with positive staining for estrogen and progesterone receptors, and mucinous cyst adenoma of the right ovary. Uterine leiomyoma is rare in this syndrome and the present report represents the first published case complicated by ovarian tumor.

A 34-year-old multiparaous woman with two prior cesarean sections presented acute abdominal pain at 16 weeks of gestation. She also represented with abdominal pain at 22 weeks of gestation, and a diagnostic laparoscopy revealed hemoperitoneum, although we could not identify the exact source of bleeding. She also represented with abdominal pain without vaginal bleeding at 27 weeks of gestation, and an MRI revealed a hematoma in the lower abdomino-pelvic region and placenta percreta invading into the left broad ligament.

Fetal blood sampling was performed by intrahepatic blood collection for karyotyping of both fetuses, revealing the same genotype of 46,XY/47,XYY in 2:1 proportion. Phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins can have various causes, such as placental vascular anatomy, differences in allocation of the number of blastomeres or genetic postzygotic events.

However, diagnostic criteria for and the clinical significance of placental lakes are yet to be completely established, because of a wide variety of ultrasound findings, especially on color Doppler examination. We experienced a case of a huge placental lake, larger than the total placental area, located in an entire retroplacental space, concomitant with several penetrations of artery type blood flow. The antenatal differential diagnosis and course of clinical management are reported.

It was carried out on 25 randomly selected uterine leiomyoma specimens obtained from 16 patients during hysterectomy or myomectomy operations. Successful tissue culture and karyotyping were performed in 19 specimens. There was no correlation between patient age, gravidity, or presenting symptom and the presence of chromosomal abnormality. A significant correlation was found between short culture turnaround time and the occurrence of chromosomal abnormality. Abnormal clonal karyotypes were present in 6 specimens, non-clonal abnormalities in 4 specimens and normal karyotypes were found in 9 specimens. Myomas with cro...

The women were allocated into two groups: nulliparous and multiparous. The women received one basal unit of misoprostol solution (20 mL, 1 µg/mL) every hour for four doses; additional doses were titrated against individual uterine response. The interval of latent and active phase and vaginal delivery within 12 h were the primary outcomes.Results: Of the 112 women included in the study, 49 (43.8%) mulliparae and 63 (56.2%) multiparae underwent labor induction with tit...

The changing nature of the pain is not well defined, and the molecular mechanisms leading to pain generation are far from clear. Recent research has begun to reveal some of these links between expression of unusual molecules in the eutopic endometrium and ectopic lesions, microanatomical changes in the pelvic nervous sytem, neuronal dysfunction and the later development of neuropathic pain. A better understanding of these mechanisms will undoubtedly lead to improved use of current medical and surgical treatments, and...

We encountered a case of a mitotically active leiomyoma and malignant transformation after a total hysterectomy. The recurrent multiple abdominal masses were removed surgically; most of them were benign leiomyomas, but some were leiomyosarcomas. Although most mitotically active leiomyomas have a benign clinical course, these lesions can recur and have the potential for malignant transformation. Therefore, patients with mitotically active leiomyomas require close follow-up. (Source: Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecol...

Spontaneous uterine rupture is an extremely infrequent obstetric complication that may compromise the lives of the fetus and the mother. We describe the case of a pregnant woman at 18 weeks' gestation who presented with sudden abdominal pain and severe hemoperitoneum. We noticed a uterine rupture and carried out an urgent obstetric hysterectomy. The patient died due to hypovolemic shock and severe generalized coagulopathy. The pregnancy had been obtained via in vitro fertilization techniques. The patient did not have any risk factor or antecedent. The anatomopathological study showed a fundus uterine rupture caused by placenta percreta. (Source: Journal of Obstet...

In both, the only manifestation was persistent vaginal bleeding. Pelvic ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed solitary vaginal masses (diameter, 5 and 2 cm, respectively). Serum [alpha]-fetoprotein was highly elevated in one patient and normal in the other. Biopsy was performed in the first patient, and a tumor excision, in the second. Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin or carboplatin was administered to the first patient, and shortly thereafter, the tumor size decreased by more than half; serum [alpha]-fetoprotein was normalized after four chemotherapy cycles. After chemotherapy, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small r...

This is the first case report in PubMed in which a female patient showed no signs of magnesium intoxication when her total serum magnesium concentration was 4.34 mg/dL, but showed signs of magnesium intoxication (i.e. absent-patellar reflex) when the concentration was 3.66 mg/dL. We concluded that the serum magnesium level cannot be represented by the total serum magnesium concentration to a full extent; a lower total serum magnesium concentration may still lead to magnesium intoxication.

She became pregnant 17 months after TCC. At 35 weeks of gestation, she was admitted to our hospital due to preterm labor and delivered a healthy female baby (2270 g) by cesarean section. After delivery of the newborn infant, we found a migration of about one third of the cerclage band into the endocervical canal. Two years later, she had one further pregnancy, reached 33 weeks of gestation, and delivered a 1450 g male baby by cesarean section due to a preterm labor without any signs of infection.

Grossly, the mass occupied a substantial proportion of the cervical canal, measuring 6 cm. Histologically, the mass showed a spindle cell malignancy arranged in large fascicles that penetrated deeply into the fibromuscular wall of the cervix. The spindle cells were immunoreactive for both S-100 protein and HMB-45 antigen, but were negative for Melan-A. Electron microscopy showed that cytoplasmic processes of the spindle to oval tumor cells contained microtubules and were lined by basal lamina and abundant intercellular collagen spacing with no melanosomes in any stage.

A 28-year-old woman, gravida 1, para 1 at 24 weeks of gestation was referred because of suspected polyhydroamnios in an MD twin. Ultrasound suggested twin[ndash]twin transfusion syndrome stage III, spontaneous rupture of the dividing membranes and cord entanglement. Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) was performed using the Nd:YAG laser on 12 placental vascular connections.

Adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site is a subtype with high frequency that has no standard treatment and a poor prognosis. A 32-year-old female was found to have a tumor in the abdominal wall. Tumorectomy was conducted. A pathological examination indicated serous papillary adenocarcinoma, and peritoneal or ovarian cancer was suspected. Exploratory laparotomy and partial resection of the ovaries were carried out, but there were no malignant findings in the peritoneum, ovarian tissue or ascitic fluid.

The patient was a 17-year-old Japanese woman who had undergone radiotherapy, surgery for extranodal RDD involving the brain, and VP shunt insertion at age 12. Bilateral pelvic masses were incidentally detected on a computed tomography scan. She underwent laparotomy for lesion extirpation. On abdominal washing cytology, histiocytes showing emperipolesis were identified. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed instead of extirpation, as it was difficult to identify the lesion margins. At 24 months after surgery, the patient is well and has not developed local recurrence. Thus, RDD can recur because of implantation of lesion cells into the abdominal cavity ...

A 26-year-old patient with Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome presented with abrupt pain in the left iliac quadrant. A mass was confirmed by sonography. Laparoscopic inspection revealed no uterus. The mass was removed laparoscopically. Endometriosis was confirmed histologically. If endometrioma in a patient with Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is associated with a small rudimentary unicornis uterus with a small endometrial cavity, endometriosis can be assumed to have developed by retrograde menstruation theory. Because the patient did not have a functioning endometrium, her endometrioma is assumed to have arisen from coelomic metaplasia.

The decreased maximal urethral pressure may reflect neurogenic damage during surgery; thus, minimal dissection and avoidance of unnecessary dissection to prevent periurethral damage are advised.

A pelvic sonogram showed a large amount of peritoneal fluid with echogenic material and a 10-cm complex cystic structure, which appeared to be an enlarged left ovary. The concentrations of CA125 and CA19-9 were 548.1 and 7604 IU/mL, respectively. On the second day of admission, an exploratory laparoscopy was performed, which revealed a ruptured left ovarian cyst consistent with an endometrioma. A laparoscopic left adnexectomy was therefore performed. The histological examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of an endometrioma. After a 12-month follow-up period, the patient showed no recurrence of the endometrioma or peritoneal fluid accumulation. In most instances, ...

Vaginal ultrasound showed a solid cystic tumor at the right ovary accompanied by ascites. The volume of ascites was changeable. Milky fluid obtained by Douglas pouch aspiration contained numerous mature lymphocytes. She underwent right salpingo-oophorectomy. Histological examination revealed that the excised tumor from the right ovary was consistent with benign lymphangioma. This is the first case report of lymphangioma of the ovary accompanied by chylous ascites. We should discriminate such cases from other malignant tumors in order to avoid overtreatment.

The patient had undergone radical hysterectomy for stage Ib1 cervical cancer. Six months after the surgery, she was found to have an elevated concentration of the serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen. Thereafter, she underwent magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography[ndash]computed tomography. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an irregular mass (diameter: 2 cm) in the abdominal wall. Increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake into the mass was observed on positron emission tomography. Therefore, we could not rule out the possibility of the peritoneal dissemination of cervical cancer, and we resected the mass. The mass was pathologically and microbiologically diagnosed as a subfascial aspergilloma. The ...

The maternal mortality rate per pregnancy in EDS type IV has been reported as 11.5% to 25%. A 30-year-old Japanese primiparous woman, with a brother who had suffered a bowel rupture due to EDS type IV, became pregnant. She also suffered from myocardial infarction due to coronary artery dissections at 24 years old, and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Due to uncontrollable uterine contractions, beta 2-stimulants were administered during 18 to 29 weeks of gestation. Therefore, we performed a cesarean section at 29 weeks of gestation to prevent uterine rupture. ...

A 27-year-old Japanese woman received an intravenous infusion of fluid containing a vitamin B complex due to hyperemesis gravidarum. Thirty minutes after the start of infusion she was found to be in hypotension. The patient had stupor, general sweating, blood pressure of 82/50 mmHg, and low percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) of 88%. We immediately stopped the infusion, lifted her legs and administered oxygen. Three minutes after these treatments, she quickly recovered to a good general condition.

Sometimes there are coexisting renal artery lesions in Moyamoya disease patients. A 32-year-old multipara had a cesarean section at 33 gestational weeks due to preeclampsia. One month later, she developed subarachnoid hemorrhage and angiography demonstrated Moyamoya vessels with renal artery stenosis. After conservative therapy, the patient was discharged without any deficits. Our conclusion is that patients with Moyamoya disease carry a risk of cerebrovascular accident during pregnancy and postpartum. In this case, we did not diagnose Moyamoya disease with renal artery stenosis until the patient developed subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is very important to make a careful differential di...

However, with similar revised-American Society of Reproductive Medicine scores, preoperative hormonal therapy did not contribute to the reduction of the loss of ovarian follicles. Fibrosis resulting from hormonal therapy appears to be responsible for these observations.

The Asian Cervical Cancer Prevention Advisory Board (ACCPAB) was established in 2005 with a mission to raise awareness of the significant disease burden of cervical cancer in Asia and the strategies for its prevention. Persistent infection with oncogenic subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the necessary cause of cervical cancer. Vaccines against the two most carcinogenic subtypes of HPV (HPV 16 and 18) are available and have the potential to prevent cervical cancer in 70[ndash]80% of HPV- naïve women. HPV vaccines have been first licensed for use in girls and women aged 9[ndash]26 years. However, women over 25 years o...

Although investigations are in the early stages, experimental and preclinical studies suggest that cranberry components may have other potential benefits, including anti-infective, anticancer and antioxidant effects, which may be considered as positive for different age-related conditions. In addition, cranberry components may induce positive cardiovascular and metabolic changes, and may improve neuropsychological activity. These effects warrant further clinical research to better place the role of cranberry products for women.

The patient underwent extensive bowel resection. On follow-up she had developed an obstruction on the intestinal anastomosis. The anastomosis was revised, but the patient died of intervening complications 3 months after the operation. Early management of acute mesenteric venous thrombosis relies on early diagnosis, which requires a high index of suspicion. The condition must be considered during evaluation of persistent abdominal pain in pregnant women with hypercoagulable disorder.

In the first case, the pregnancy continued after the patient stopped taking the drug and at 38 weeks of gestation, the patient delivered a healthy infant. However, in the second and third cases fetal cardiac activities were not detected on obstetric follow-up and both pregnancies were terminated due to missed abortion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of exposure to meizitanc during pregnancy. Although herbal medicines are presumed to be safe because of their natural origin, consumption of such products may be dangerous due to the content of undeclared drugs, adulteration with multiple substances and contamination with toxic metals.

A 28-year-old primigravid woman demonstrated uterine inversion. Although Huntington's procedure had successfully repositioned the uterus, acute recurrence of inversion with uterine atony appeared to be impending during the surgery. We applied modified uterine compression sutures, which prevented the recurrence of inversion and achieved complete hemostasis. Three years later, the patient became pregnant and vaginally delivered a term infant. Thereafter, uterine inversion recurred, and was repositioned manually. Uterine compression suture may be of use not only for hemostasis for postpartum hemorrhage, but also for prophylaxis against acute recurren...

Multiple etiologies, such as endocrine, anatomic, genetic, hematological and immunological causes have been reported for this devastating disease. However, over half of the cases remain unexplained. Thrombotic/inflammatory processes are often observed at the maternal-fetal interface as the final pathological assault in many cases of RPL, including those of unexplained etiologies. In the present paper, cellular immune responses (T, natural killer [NK], natural killer-T [NKT], regulatory T [Treg] cells and their cytokines) and autoimmune abnormalities of women with RPL are reviewed. In addition, metabolic diseases and hematological conditions which often lead to thrombotic/inflammatory conditions are discusse...

Although most fetal arrhythmias are benign, some types cause fetal hydrops and can lead to fetal death. With the aim of improving the outcome in such cases, various studies for prenatal diagnosis and perinatal management have been published. Detailed analysis of the type of arrhythmia in utero is possible using M-mode and Doppler echocardiography. In particular, a simultaneous record of Doppler waveform at the superior venous cava and the ascending aorta has become an important and useful method of assessing the interval between atrial and ventricular contractions. Common causes of fetal tachycardia (ventricular heart rate faster than 180 bpm), are paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with 1:1 a...

In the present case, gradual enlargement of a pedunculated myoma was observed throughout a woman's pregnancy, worsening after delivery and causing hypovolemic shock, without evidence of external or intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Laparotomy revealed a severely edematous myoma containing a large amount of blood. It is speculated that partial occlusion had obstructed venous return, but not arterial blood flow, which caused rapid enlargement of the myoma.

Cervix dilatation and fetal head station were measured continuously in 30 nullipara women (mean age 27.5, standard deviation 4.8). The continuous measurements enabled the analysis of each variable and the analysis of the relations between these two variables. The relationship between the head station and the cervical dilatation were demonstrated by plotting one against the other during a contraction. This led to the definition of a contraction vector that integrates the interaction between the two variables. The angle of this vector, that indicates this relation, was plotted...

The patient experienced vaginal bleeding after each session of ECT. Thiopental and succinylcholine were administered as an anesthetic (4 mg/kg thiopental) and muscle relaxant (1 mg/kg succinylcholine), respectively. ECT was discontinued and re-challenged after 20 days. The patient experienced bleeding after ECT again. Our case is somewhat unique because it demonstrates the potential maternal problem of vaginal bleeding as a result of ECT. In our case ECT led to vaginal bleeding and the bleeding stopped when ECT was ceased. Re-challenge was conducted.
