Diagnosis and evaluation of 38 cases of pelvic congestion syndrome and single center experience in intracavitary treatment / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic evaluation process and the effectiveness and safety of intracavitary therapy for pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 2019 to February 2022. Combined with the patient′s symptoms, PCS was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography venography (CTV), and venography. The ovarian vein was embolized with controllable spring coil and polydocanol foam sclerosing agent. The patients were followed up 1, 3 and 6 months after operation.Results:The total surgical success rate of 38 patients was 100%, and the incidence of complications was 5.3%(2/38); Spring coils (2.8±0.3)per person; The dosage of hardener was (7.0±2.1)ml/person. The improvement rate of patient symptoms was 97.4%(37/38); After 1, 3, and 6 months of surgery, color Doppler ultrasound was reexamined and no recanalization was observed in the embolized ovarian veins; The diameter of the parauterine vein was (2.8±0.5)mm, which was significantly lower than the preoperative (7.5±1.9)mm ( P<0.05); The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was significantly lower than the preoperative score [(2.12±1.87)points vs (7.58±0.82)points, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Process based assessment is helpful in identifying and diagnosing PCS patients who urgently need treatment; Endovascular treatment based on embolization of ovarian vein with controllable spring coil and foam sclerosing agent is minimally invasive, safe and effective.

Tromboflebitis séptica pelviana post cesárea / Septic pelvic thromboflebitis after cesarean section

RESUMEN Presentamos caso clínico de puérpera de cesárea de noveno día con cuadro febril en espigas, asintomática, en que se plantea desde su ingreso el diagnóstico de tromboflebitis séptica pelviana y se inicia tratamiento con antibióticos parenterales de amplio espectro y heparina de bajo peso molecular en dosis terapéuticas. La respuesta es a la mejoría al tercer día de tratamiento. Se discuten los métodos diagnósticos, el diagnóstico diferencial y el tratamiento.

The diagnosis of a septic pelvic thrombophlebitis is proposed from the admission and treated with parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotics and low-molecular-weight heparin at therapeutic doses. Patient significantly improved on her third day of treatment. The diagnostic procedures, differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed.

Trombosis de la vena ovárica derecha tras histerectomía subtotal y colposacropexia vía laparoscópica: a propósito de un caso / Right ovarian vein thrombosis after subtotal laparoscopic hysterectomy and colposacropexy: report of clinical case

La trombosis de la vena ovárica es una complicación infrecuente que suele ocurrir durante el postparto, comúnmente tras una cesárea. Sin embargo, existen otras causas como son: la cirugía abdominal, las infecciones, las neoplasias malignas o los estados procoagulantes. La sintomatología es variada e inespecífica. En el estudio de esta entidad, tanto la Resonancia Magnética como el TAC con contraste intravenoso juegan un papel importante. Puesto que las complicaciones pueden ser mortales, es fundamental el tratamiento inmediato con anticoagulación y antibioterapia. El caso presentado a continuación supone uno de los posibles diagnósticos a considerar en una paciente intervenida de histerectomía subtotal laparoscópica con colposacropexia, que presenta dolor abdominal persistente tras la cirugía y riesgo de trombosis moderado por sus factores de riesgo.

Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare complication that might happen in the postpartum period, most commonly after a cesarean section. However, there are many other causes such as abdominal surgery, infection, malignant neoplasms and procoagulant statuses. Symptoms are varied and unspecific. The computed tomography with intravenous contrast and the magnetic resonance play an important role in the diagnosis. As complications can be fatal, treatment with anticoagulants and antibiotics is necessary. We present a case in which ovarian vein thrombosis needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis in a woman after a subtotal laparoscopic hysterectomy with colposacropexy with moderate risk factors of thrombosis.

Trombosis de la vena ovárica: serie de 3 casos en el Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes / Thrombosis of the ovarian vein: series of 3 cases at the Hospital Universitario de Cabueñes

Se presentan 3 casos de trombosis de la vena ovárica, uno en relación a cirugía pélvica y dos durante el postparto. La trombosis de la vena ovárica es una complicación rara, de presentación clínica inespecífica, lo que hace plantearse un diagnóstico diferencial con otras patologías más frecuentes (apendicitis, pielonefritis, etc), siendo la TAC el gold standard para su diagnóstico. El tratamiento más adecuado son los anticoagulantes.

We report 3 cases of varian vein thrombosis, one in relation with pelvic surgery and 2 during the postpartum period. The ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare complication, with inespecific symptoms, that is why it is obligatory to propose a differential diagnosis with more frecuent patologies (appendicitis, pyelonephritis, etc.), the CAT is the gold standard in its diagnosis. Anticoagulants are the most suitable treatment.

Trombosis del sector ilio-cava: trombosis puerperal y trombosis en agenesia de la cava inferior / Thrombosis of the ileo-caval sector: puerperal thrombosis and agenesia thrombosis of the inferior vena cava

La trombosis de la vena cava inferior supone alrededor del 15 % del total de los casos de trombosis venosa profunda. Se presenta un caso de una puérpera primigesta con parto por cesárea que presentó una trombosis con inicio en la vena ovárica derecha y extensión hasta la cava inferior. Fue tratada con heparina de bajo peso molecular en dosis anticoagulantes, reposo con extremidades elevadas y elastocompresión. Tras la evolución satisfactoria del proceso, con lisis parcial del trombo, se comenzó anticoagulación oral con acenocumarol durante 6 meses. El segundo paciente, un varón de 73 años, con antecedentes de hidatidosis hepática intervenida, presentó una trombosis de la cava inferior infrarrenal y agenesia del segmento retrohepático de la cava inferior. El enfermo sigue con tratamiento anticoagulante con acenocumarol, elastocompresión y cuidados higiénicos. Como secuela presentó un síndrome posflebítico con episodios de úlceras flebostásicas y reagudizaciones del edema, que han obligado a su hospitalización en dos ocasiones.

The thrombosis of the inferior vena cava account for around the 15% of the cases of deep venous thrombosis. This is the case of a puerperal primigravida with a cesarean section labor presenting with a thrombosis initially in the right ovarian vein and then extension to the inferior vena cava. Treatment included low molecular weight heparin in anticoagulant doses; rest with elevation of the extremities and elastic bandage. After a satisfactory process evolution with partial lysis of the thrombus, the oral anticoagulation with Acenocumarol for 6 months was started. The second patient, a man aged 73 with backgrounds of an operated hepatic hydatidosis, had a thrombosis of the infrarenal inferior vena cava and agenesia of retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava. The patient remains with anticoagulant treatment including Acenocumarol, elastic bandage and hygienic care. As sequela he had a postphlebitic syndrome and reworsening of the edema leading to its admission in two occasions.

Trombosis de la vena ovárica: Factores de riesgo, diagnóstico y tratamiento / Ovarian vein thrombosis: risk factors, diagnosis and treatment

La trombosis de la vena ovárica es una complicación muy poco frecuente (0.002-0.05%), que se observa en mujeres que presentan un incremento en los factores de coagulación. La principal situación en la que es posible detectar esta complicación es el embarazo, aunque no es la única. Se describe el caso de una mujer de 31 años de edad, gestante de 16 semanas, que presenta un aborto espontáneo séptico complicado con una trombosis de la vena ovárica. Se aprovecha el caso clínico para revisar en la literatura los factores de riesgo, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de esta inusual patología.

Ovarian vein thrombosis is an uncommon complication (0.002-0.05%) related to hypercoagulated status of women. The most frequent condition associated to ovarian vein thrombosis is pregnancy, but there are other possible causes. We present a case of a 31 year old pregnant woman at 16th week of gestation who had spontaneuos septic abortion complicated with an ovarian vein thrombosis. A discussion of risk factors, diagnostic and treatment options of ovarian vein thrombosis are presented.

A Case of Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombosis after Cesarean Section / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis has been thought to be a rare disease of which clinical finding is not accurate. Most of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis presents as symptoms consisting of fever, lower abdominal pain, abdominal mass. If the symptom does not response even with intravenous antibiotics therapy or diagnosis is inaccurate, a ultrasound or a CT scan should be obtained for diagnosis. We report a case of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis after cesarean section diagnosed and treated, with a brief review of literatures.

A Case of Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombosis After Vaginal Delivery / 대한산부인과학회잡지

When patients revisit hospital after delivery because of fever and lower abdominal pain, the diagnosis of ovarian vein thrombosis should be considered. If fever dose not fall promptly even with aggressive intravenous antibiotics therapy, a ultrasound or a CT scan should be obtained for prompt diagnosis and therapy. We report a case of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis that detected by a CT scan and treated successfully with anticoagulation therapy.

A Case of Right Ovarian Vein Syndrome / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A case of right ovarian vein syndrome is reported with a review of literature. The patient presented was a 29 year-old multipara and eighth month of pregnancy. The extirpation of entire right ovarian vein, including it's all tributaries produced a good result and has not caused interruption of pregnancy. The clinical situation due to aberrant right ovarian vein is probably more frequent than heretofore suspected, by reason of a frown of X-rays during pregnancy and also an unawareness of the condition. Therefore, if clinical observations and X-ray studies are performed, more cases of such a condition. will be expected.
