ABSTRACT
RESUMEN OBJETIVO: reportar un caso de endometrioma complicado con absceso ovárico, exponer y discutir los factores de riesgo asociados, con la finalidad de difundir esta rara alteración y establecer el diagnóstico oportuno. CASO CLÍNICO: paciente de 34 años de edad, que acudió a consulta al Hospital Santa Rosa de Lima (Ensenada, Baja California Norte), con antecedente de dolor pélvico crónico de 5 meses de evolución y fiebre intermitente. El tratamiento con antibiótico de amplio espectro no mostró reacción satisfactoria. El ultrasonido transvaginal del ovario derecho mostró una imagen compatible con endometrioma. Mediante laparotomía se disecó la cápsula y se drenaron múltiples adherencias tubo-ováricas. El informe histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de endometrioma complicado por absceso. CONCLUSIÓN: es importante conocer los factores de riesgo para definir la causa de un absceso en un endometrioma, a través de la historia clínica detallada. La sospecha y diagnóstico oportuno es trascendental para reducir la morbilidad y mortalidad de esta complicación. Cualquier mujer con endometriosis en etapa avanzada es susceptible de complicaciones, como la formación de un absceso ovárico espontáneo.
ABSTRACT OBJETIVE: To report a case of Endometrioma complicated with ovarian abscess, expose and discuss the factors of risk associated with the purpose of disseminating this rare alteration and establishing the appropriate diagnosis. CASE REPORT: A 34 year old, seen at the Santa Rosa de Lima Hospital in Ensenada, Baja California, for a history of 5 months long chronic pelvic pain with intermittent fever, under treatment with broad spectrum antibiotic with no improvement. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a compatible image with an endometrioma on the right ovary, followed by a laparotomy, capsule dissection and release of multiple tube-ovarian adhesions. The histo-pathological report confirmed that it was an ovarian endometrioma complicated by abscess. CONCLUSION: We emphasized in the study the risk factors and define a cause of an endometrioma and the clinical history details. Prevention and a good diagnoses as a priority to reduce morbi-mortality. It is very important to know that any woman with advanced stage history of endometriosis is susceptible to complications.
ABSTRACT
Background: The definition of recurrent pregnancy loss varies according different authors and consensus: the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) defines RPL when two or more pregnancy losses occur, and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) defines it as three or more pregnancy losses, not necessarily intrauterine. To this day, there is no uniform approach that serves as a guide in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition; this is why, in up to 50% of the cases of RPL, it will not be possible to identify the specific etiology. Objetive: To report on the recurrent pregnancy loss, in order to harmonize concepts and suggest a diagnosis and treatment for this condition approach. Method: The search strategy included, but was not limited to keywords like: recurrent abortion, infertility, habitual abortion, primary antiphospholipid syndrome, lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin antibodies and anti B2 glycoprotein I.
