RESUMO

Cesarean scar pregnancies (CSPs) are a type of ectopic pregnancy that occur when an embryo implants within the fibrous scar tissue of a previous cesarean surgery. If not promptly detected and treated, CSPs can result in serious maternal complications, such as uterine rupture and hemorrhage. TVUS (transvaginal ultrasonography) represents the imaging of choice for the diagnosis of CSPs; however, recent studies proposed a complementary role of MRI due to its capability in soft tissue characterization that may impact the therapeutical decision-making process. The purpose of our study was to explore the role of MRI in the diagnosis and its impact on therapeutical options in CSPs. Our experience showed that MRI has a complementary role to TVSU in correctly diagnosing CSPs, identifying the type, and guiding the therapeutical approach.

RESUMO

Nonobstetric vaginal or vulva trauma is an extremely rare occurrence, with an incidence of < 0.2% of traumas. CT represents the gold standard in the diagnosis of gunshot lesions due to its ability to detect and stage injuries with very high sensitivity and specificity. A standardized protocol for penetrating trauma is still under debate for the use of intravenous contrast only or also rectal and oral contrast. Herein, we report a case of gunshot vaginal trauma in a 43-year-old patient presenting with vaginal bleeding. In our case, the protocol was "patient's tailored," the intravaginal selective use of air was administered due to symptoms (vaginal bleeding) and CT findings, this 2-step protocol increased diagnostic confidence and allow a correct and challenging diagnosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of hormone replacement therapy on climacteric ocular complaints, lacrimal secretion, intraocular pressure (IOP), and corneal thickness. DESIGN: A prospective, controlled, randomized study on 50 healthy women (mean age 53.4 +/- 3.8 years) at least 1 year after spontaneous menopause. Twenty-five women (group A) were treated with transdermal 17beta-estradiol (50 microg/day) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (10 mg/day) for 12 days per cycle. Twenty-five untreated women (group B) were used as a control group. All participants underwent eye examination at the beginning of the study and after 3 and 6 months of therapy to detect ocular diseases and to measure lachrymal secretion, IOP, and corneal thickness. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed between the two groups at the beginning of the study. After 3 and 6 months of treatment, we observed a significant reduction in the percentage of women in group A affected by ocular symptoms and in the severity of symptomatology in comparison with baseline and with group B (P < 0.01). A significant increase of both basal and stimulated lachrymal secretion was observed after 3 months of therapy in group A in comparison with baseline (P < 0.01). There was a significant decrease of IOP (P < 0.01) after 3 months of therapy in group A (P < 0.01), and a slight, nonsignificant increase of corneal thickness was observed in group A at 3 and 6 months in comparison with basal values. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that hormone replacement therapy may exert a beneficial effect on ocular symptomatology, increase lachrymal secretion, reduce IOP, and increase corneal thickness.
