Blighted Ovum and tubal pregnancy: a rare form of heterotopic pregnancy: case report
BMC Research Notes, 2018Co-Authors: Desmond Aroke, Larry Tangie Ngek, Maxime Tindong, Esua Fomanka, Colette Achu, Arnold Agwe Tanah, Benjamin Momo KadiaAbstract:Background Heterotopic pregnancies are rare in spontaneous conceptions. Nonetheless, when it does occur, the intrauterine pregnancy is usually viable. We herein present a true rarity of the coexistence of a Blighted Ovum and an ectopic pregnancy. Case presentation A 25 year old G2P1001 married seamstress of African ethnicity at 8 weeks of amenorrhoea presented to our health facility with a 4 day history of lower abdominal pains and vaginal bleeding for which physical examination revealed a closed cervix. Trans-abdominal ultrasound scan confirmed a diagnosis of a Blighted Ovum and an ectopic pregnancy. Patient was managed with surgical therapy. Evolution thereafter was uneventful. Conclusion The case presented confirms that HP can occur in the absence of predisposing factors, and that the detection of a Blighted Ovum should not preclude the possibility of a simultaneous ectopic pregnancy. A high index of suspicion could lead to early diagnosis, prompt management and a favourable prognosis even in a low-income setting.

Increased release of cervical nitric oxide in spontaneous abortion before clinical symptoms: A possible mechanism for preabortal cervical ripening
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2004Co-Authors: Mervi Väisänen-tommiska, Tomi S. Mikkola, Olavi YlikorkalaAbstract:Nitric oxide (NO) affects cervical ripening. We studied cervical NO release in women with nonviable pregnancy before signs of abortion. Women with missed abortion (n = 56), Blighted Ovum (n = 36), or tubal pregnancy (n = 7) were selected by means of vaginal ultrasonographic examination from a population seeking early pregnancy termination; 140 women with amenorrhea-matched normal gestation were studied as controls. Cervical fluid samples were assessed for NO metabolites (Nox) by means of Griess reaction. Cervical fluid Nox was more often detectable in women with missed abortion (90%) and Blighted Ovum (87%) than in the control women (55%; P = 0.01), and Nox levels in women with missed abortion [median, 59.4 μmol/liter; 95% confidence interval (CI), 30.3–81.8] and Blighted Ovum (25.6 μmol/liter; 95% CI, 14.1–53.0) were 14 and 6 times higher (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) than in the control group (4.3 μmol/liter; 95% CI,
