  • Pregnancy outcomes after treatment for fibromyomata: uterine artery embolization versus laparoscopic myomectomy ☆
    American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Jay M. Goldberg, Leonardo Pereira, Vincenzo Berghella, James Diamond, Emile Daraï, Piero Seinera, Renato Seracchioli
    Abstract:

    The objective of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes in women with fibromyomata who were treated with uterine artery embolization to the outcomes in women who were treated with laparoscopic myomectomy. We compiled data from 53 pregnancies after uterine artery embolization and 139 pregnancies after laparoscopic myomectomy. We calculated and compared rates for spontaneous abortion, postpartum hemorrhage, preterm delivery, cesarean delivery, small for gestational age, and Malpresentation. Pregnancies after uterine artery embolization had higher rates of preterm delivery (odds ratio, 6.2; 95% CI, 1.4, 27.7) and Malpresentation (odds ratio, 4.3; 95% CI, 1.0, 20.5) than did pregnancies after laparoscopic myomectomy. The risks of postpartum hemorrhage (odds ratio, 6.3; 95% CI, 0.6, 71.8) and spontaneous abortion (odds ratio, 1.7; 95% CI, 0.8, 3.9) after uterine artery embolization were similarly higher than the risks after laparoscopic myomectomy; however, these differences were not statistically significant. Pregnancies in women with fibromyomata who were treated by uterine artery embolization, compared with pregnancies after laparoscopic myomectomy, were at increased risk for preterm delivery and Malpresentation.

  • Pregnancy after uterine artery embolization.
    Obstetrics and gynecology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Jay Goldberg, Leonardo Pereira, Vincenzo Berghella
    Abstract:

    Uterine artery embolization is an increasingly popular alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy as a treatment for uterine leiomyoma. Whether this procedure is safe for women desiring future fertility is controversial. A primigravida who had previously undergone uterine artery embolization had premature rupture of membranes at 24 weeks. She had a cesarean delivery at 28 weeks, which was followed by uterine atony requiring hysterectomy. A primigravida who had previously undergone uterine artery embolization delivered appropriately grown dichorionic twins at 36 weeks. An analysis of the 50 published cases of pregnancy after uterine artery embolization revealed the following complications: Malpresentation (17%), small for gestational age (7%), premature delivery (28%), cesarean delivery (58%), and postpartum hemorrhage (13%). Women who become pregnant after uterine artery embolization are at risk for Malpresentation, preterm birth, cesarean delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage.

  • Uterine torsion and fetal bradycardia associated with external cephalic version.
    Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Ritu Salani, Regan N Theiler, Michael K. Lindsay
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Torsion of the gravid uterus is a rare obstetric complication in humans, but has been reported in association with Malpresentation and with uterine leiomyomata. CASE: We report a case of uterine torsion diagnosed at emergency cesarean delivery after external cephalic version with prolonged fetal bradycardia. CONCLUSION: Physicians should be aware of the possibility of uterine torsion as a complication of external cephalic version. To minimize diagnostic delay, placental localization on ultrasonography should be noted before and after external cephalic version as an indicator of uterine orientation.

  • Eyelid Laceration in a Neonate by Fetal Monitoring Spiral Electrode
    American journal of ophthalmology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Andreas K. Lauer, Steven O. Rimmer
    Abstract:

    Abstract Purpose: To report an unusual case of birth injury caused by an internal fetal monitoring spiral electrode. Method: Case report. Results: A neonate with eyelid lacerations was examined within the first hour of life after a fetal scalp electrode was inadvertently affixed to the left upper eyelid during labor. The superficial lacerations healed without sequelae, and there was no globe injury. Conclusions: Ocular adnexal birth injury by a fetal monitoring scalp electrode has been reported rarely. Because fetal brow Malpresentation is uncommon, the occurrence of this injury is unusual. Although alarming, the periorbital edema associated with this Malpresentation probably protects the eyelid from perforation and the globe from injury.
