ABSTRACT

We conducted a prospective observational study of 306 asymptomatic women at 20-22 weeks of pregnancy to compare 3-dimensional ultrasound measurements of cervical volume with 2-dimensional ultrasound measurements of cervical length to evaluate the performance of cervical volume as a predictor of pre-term delivery, compared with the current standard, cervical length. Participants underwent transvaginal ultrasound measurements of cervical length (mm) and cervical volume (cm(3)). Cervical volume as measured by 3-dimensional ultrasound was found to be a useful tool for predicting pre-term delivery; however, due to the high correlation between cervical length and cervical volume and the lack of differences in the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and relative risk between the two methods, replacing cervical length measurements with cervical volume calculations does not seem to be justified for this purpose, because of increased difficulty in volume acquisition.

ABSTRACT

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare cause of jaundice and liver failure associated with high maternal and fetal mortality. We analysed five consecutive cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy, along with the associated morbidity, mortality and complications. Between January 1999 and January 2008, a total of 68,524 deliveries were assisted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil de Canarias (Canaries University Hospital Maternity Ward); among them, five cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy were identified.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of the presence of nuchal cord (NC) on the evaluation of the fetal ductus venosus flow velocity waveform (DV-FVW). METHODS: This prospective study included 1174 normal non-selected singleton pregnancies between 11 and 13 + 6 weeks' gestation. We recorded the presence or absence of NC around the fetal neck, and assessed its relationship with the qualitative assessment and quantitative measurement of the DV-FVW. RESULTS: We observed NC around the fetal neck in 6.73% of cases and detected reversed flow of the a-wave of the DV-FVW in 2.98% of cases. In the group without NC, 21 of 1095 had reversed flow in the DV-FVW (1.9%; 95% CI, 1.28-3.02), whereas in the group with NC, 14 of 79 had reversed flow in the DV-FVW (17.7%; 95% CI, 16.67-40.35). We found a lower pulsatility index in fetuses without NC in comparison to those with NC (P < 0.001). We also found an association between the presence of NC and an increased occurrence of absent and reversed a-wave of the flow velocity waveforms (P < 0.001). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, a much higher occurrence of reversed DV-FVW a-wave was detected in fetuses with NC and smaller crown-rump length, and a much higher occurrence of absent DV-FVW a-wave was found in fetuses with NC and a higher maternal body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of NC modifies the sonographic findings in the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the DV-FVW.

ABSTRACT

Primary ovarian lymphoma is a rare entity. We submit a case of a 34-year-old black patient presenting with a bilateral adnexal tumor. She underwent hysterectomy with double salpingo-oophorectomy followed by polychemotherapy treatment. Histology confirmed Epstein-Barr virus-positive bilateral Burkitt's lymphoma. The patient died from septic shock after a month of treatment. Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma has a predilection for the female genital tract, manifesting itself clinically as a pelvic mass and less frequently as a menstrual disorder. It is a rare entity in our environment but should be kept in mind when treating patients of African origin.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos un caso de abdomen agudo, secundario a hemorragia retroperitoneal por rotura espontánea de un gran angiomiolipoma renal, en una mujer gestante de 28 años de edad. Aunque la mayoría son asintomáticos y descubiertos incidentalmente en estudios de imagen, cuando crecen ocasionan clínica, y los síntomas de presentación más frecuentes son: dolor abdominal, masa palpable y hematuria, lo que constituye la denominada tríada de Lenke (AU)


We report the case of a 28-year-old pregnant woman with acute abdomen secondary to retroperitoneal hemorrhage caused by spontaneous rupture of a large angiomyolipoma. Even though most angiomyolipomata are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on imaging studies, these neoplasms may cause symptoms when they grow. The most frequent presenting symptoms are abdominal pain, palpable mass, and hematuria (Lenke's triad) (AU)

ABSTRACT

En la actualidad, con el aumento de la tasa de cesáreas y con la medicina defensiva que hay en la obs tetricia, determinados tipos de partos son cada vez menos frecuentes, como es el caso de los partos de nalgas o los partos con presentaciones cefálicas muy deflexionadas. En los partos de cara se producen manifestaciones faciales neonatales en extremo llamativas. Se presentan diferentes imágenes de lesiones faciales en recién nacidos por partos distócicos por presentación cefálica en deflexión (AU)


Currently, due to the increased rate of caesarean section and the practice of defensive medicine in obstetrics, some types of delivery are becoming increasingly less frequent, as is the case of breech deliveries or cephalic presentations with deflexion. In face presentation, neonatal facial manifestations are especially striking. We present various images of facial injuries in newborn infants with dystocic delivery and cephalic presentation with deflexion (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Análisis de 74.493 partos atendidos en la unidad de paritorio del Servicio de Obstetricia y Ginecología del Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil de Canarias durante el período comprendido entre 1992 y 2002. Material y método. Se analizaron los partos; se diferenciaron las diferentes vías del parto y, posteriormente, se analizaron los diferentes parámetros para valorar nuestros resultados perinatales. Se valoraron: el test de APGAR a los 5 min de vida, el pH arterial neonatal, el ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos neonatales y la mortalidad perinatal en neonatos con peso mayor de 1.000 g. Resultados. Un 73% de los partos fueron eutócicos, un 13,4% mediante fórceps y un 11,8% con cesárea. Un 1% presentó una puntuación en el test de APGAR a los 5 min menor de 7, un 1,1% tuvo un pH menor de 7, un 1% de los recién nacidos ingresó en la UCIN y la mortalidad perinatal fue del 6,5‰ (AU)


Objective. We retrospectively analyzed 74,493 deliveries in the Hospital Universitario Materno-infantil de Canarias in the previous 10 years. Delivery route and perinatal results were studied. To analyze the deliveries in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit of the Hospital Universitario Materno-Infantil de Canarias (Spain) from 1992 to 2002. Material and method. A total of 74,493 deliveries were analyzed. The deliveries were classified according to route. The following parameters were analyzed to evaluate perinatal results: 5-minute APGAR score, neonatal pH, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and mortality rate in neonates weighing more than 1,000 g. Results. Deliveries were normal in 73%, forceps were required in 13.4%, and cesarean section was performed in 11.8%. APGAR scores at 5 minutes of less than 7 were found in 1%. A pH of less than 7 was found in 1.1%. Admission to the NICU was required in 1%. The neonatal mortality rate was 6.5‰ (AU)

ABSTRACT

La neumonía es la causa más frecuente de infección grave no obstétrica en la mujer gestante. Todas las enfermedades infecciosas en la paciente gestante pueden tener un impacto tanto en la madre, como en el feto, contribuyendo a la morbilidad y mortalidad. Los cambios fisiológicos y hormonales que se producen en la gestante predisponen específicamente a la neumonía. Las embarazadas con neumonía tienen mayor probabilidad de presentar un parto prematuro o de tener hijos de bajo peso para la edad gestacional (AU)


Pneumonia is the most frequent cause of severe nonobstetric infection in pregnant women. All infectious diseases in pregnant patients can affect both the mother and fetus, contributing to morbidity and mortality. The physiological and hormonal changes that take place in pregnancy predispose pregnant women to pneumonia. Pregnant women with pneumonia are at greater risk for premature delivery and for giving birth to low birthweight neonates (AU)

ABSTRACT

La fibrosis pulmonar idiopática se define como una enfermedad progresiva, inflamatoria y fibrosante de causa desconocida que se caracteriza por disnea progresiva, infiltrados pulmonares intersticiales difusos, insuficiencia ventilatoria restrictiva y alteración en el intercambio gaseoso. Su diagnóstico es de exclusión, y es obligado descartar la presencia de conectivopatías, toxicidad farmacológica, infecciones u otras enfermedades que pueden asociarse a fibrosis pulmonar. Describimos un caso diagnosticado al inicio de la gestación y que cursó con insuficiencia respiratoria durante ésta (AU)


Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive, fibrosing and inflarnmatory disease of unknown cause. It is characterized by progressive dyspnoea, diffuse pulmonary interstitial infiltration, restrictive ventilatory insufficiency and alterations in gas exchange. Diagnosis is made by exclusion; connective tissue diseases, pharmacological toxicity, infections and other pathologies associated with pulmonary fibrosis must all be ruled out. We describe a case diagnosed at the beginning of a pregnancy with respiratory insufficiency until the end (AU)

ABSTRACT

Describimos un caso de error al interpretar un registro de la frecuencia cardíaca materna como fetal. En nuestro servicio ingresó una paciente con gestación gemelar, procedente de otro centro, cuyo registro cardíaco fue reactivo para ambos gemelos, y posteriormente se comprobó la muerte fetal de uno de ellos con importantes signos de maceración (AU)


We describe a case of erroneous interpretation of the maternal cardiac rhythm in a twin gestation. The twin pregnancy was transferred from another hospital, with the fetal heart register recorded as reactive for both twins, but later the death of one twin was detected, with severe maceration (AU)

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Rokitansky se caracteriza por amenorrea primaria en pacientes fenotípicamente femeninas, con ausencias de vagina y con otras malformaciones asociadas --del propio aparato genital, urinarias, esqueléticas o cardíacas--, y con ovarios funcionantes. La agenesia vaginal puede ser causa de retención de sangre y secreciones, con la consiguiente formación de un hematómetra, que produciría una gran masa pélvica y dolor intenso; y puede ser necesario realizar su drenaje y utilizar un catéter de Foley, para evitar posibles reestenosis con recidiva del hematómetra. Describimos el caso de una adolescente con agenesia de los 2/3 superiores de la vagina, sin otras malformaciones asociadas, a la cual fue necesario realizarle drenaje de un hematómetra por los intensos dolores que le causaba (AU)

ABSTRACT

La hipertensión pulmonar primaria se define como un aumento de presión en la arteria pulmonar sin causa que lo justifique. Se trata de una afección de gran gravedad y con alta tasa de mortalidad. La gestación se encontraría contraindicada en estas pacientes por el agravamiento que se produce en el puerperio, que llevaría a la muerte a la mayoría de las pacientes afectadas. Describimos un caso de una paciente diagnosticada posparto de hipertensión pulmonar primaria y fallo cardíaco derecho con desenlace fatal (AU)
