RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is described as estrogen deficiency, amenorrhea, and hypergonadotropinemia in a woman < 40 years old. In a proportion of patients diagnosed with POF, intermittent and unpredictable return of ovarian function can be observed, causing fluctuations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). However, these patients also have return of menstrual cycles. When cycles do not resume, other causes could explain the changes in FSH levels. CASE: A 43-year-old woman with known premature ovarian failure since age 23 and high serum FSH levels was referred for normalization of FSH levels. She did not have any resumption of menstrual cycles. Karyotype revealed a mosaicism consistent with Turner syndrome. Computed tomography of the head detected a pituitary macroadenoma which is believed to have caused a decrease in FSH production by compression of the pituitary stalk. Spontaneous involution of the mass ensued, and the patient's serum FSH returned to menopausal level accompanied by an empty sella syndrome. CONCLUSION: In menopausal patients with low FSH and no return of menstrual cycles, further investigations should be pursued in order to exclude a possible pituitary mass.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Because of concerns about uterine rupture, many obstetricians recommend elective Caesarean section for women with a prior myomectomy. This practice has led to an increased rate of elective CS and subsequently of repeat Caesarean sections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perspectives of obstetricians on labour and delivery after abdominal or laparoscopic myomectomy. METHODS: We conducted a survey of 49 practising obstetricians from July 2012 to January 2013, using a standard questionnaire. This included questions on labour and delivery after myomectomy by laparotomy or laparoscopy. RESULTS: Overall, the inter-respondent agreement was fair (kappa 0.3; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the likelihood that respondents would allow vaginal delivery after myomectomy by laparotomy and by laparoscopy (27% and 14% if the uterine cavity was entered and 76% and 71% if the uterine cavity was not entered, respectively). However, the likelihood that respondents would allow vaginal delivery was significantly reduced if the uterine cavity was entered, regardless of the surgical approach (P < 0.001). Entry into the uterine cavity during myomectomy also significantly increased the likelihood that obstetricians would recommend elective CS rather than induction of labour. There was no significant difference in practice regarding the use of oxytocin with amniotomy, oxytocin infusion, or prostaglandins. CONCLUSION: Despite a lack of evidence, obstetricians consider entry into the uterine cavity at myomectomy to be an important factor in determining the method of delivery, the use of oxytocin, and delivery by elective Caesarean section. This was independent of the myomectomy approach.


Objectif : En raison de préoccupations au sujet de la rupture utérine, de nombreux obstétriciens recommandent la tenue d'une césarienne planifiée pour ce qui est des femmes ayant déjà subi une myomectomie. Cette pratique a mené à la hausse du taux de césarienne planifiée et, subséquemment, à celle du taux de césarienne itérative. Cette étude avait pour objectif d'évaluer les points de vue des obstétriciens en ce qui concerne le travail et l'accouchement à la suite d'une myomectomie abdominale ou laparoscopique. Méthodes : Nous avons mené un sondage auprès de 49 obstétriciens praticiens, entre juillet 2012 et janvier 2013, au moyen d'un questionnaire standard. Ce dernier comptait des questions sur le travail et l'accouchement à la suite d'une myomectomie menée par laparotomie ou par laparoscopie. Résultats : De façon globale, le consensus inter-répondants était assez bon (kappa 0,3; P < 0,001). Aucune différence significative n'a été constatée en ce qui concerne la probabilité que les répondants permettent la tenue d'un accouchement vaginal à la suite d'une myomectomie menée par laparotomie ou par laparoscopie (27 % et 14 %, si la cavité utérine avait été pénétrée, et 76 % et 71 %, si la cavité utérine n'avait pas été pénétrée, respectivement). Cependant, la probabilité que les répondants permettent la tenue d'un accouchement vaginal était considérablement atténuée lorsque la cavité utérine avait été pénétrée, peu importe l'approche chirurgicale utilisée (P < 0,001). La probabilité que les obstétriciens recommandent la tenue d'une césarienne planifiée, plutôt que celle d'un déclenchement du travail, connaissait également une hausse significative lorsque la cavité utérine avait été pénétrée au cours de la myomectomie. Aucune différence significative n'a été constatée au niveau de la pratique en ce qui concerne l'utilisation d'oxytocine conjointement avec une amniotomie, d'oxytocine en perfusion ou de prostaglandines. Conclusion : Malgré le manque de données sur le sujet, les obstétriciens considèrent que la pénétration de la cavité utérine pendant la myomectomie (et ce, peu importe l'approche chirurgicale utilisée dans le cadre de cette dernière) constitue un facteur important au moment de prendre des décisions quant au mode d'accouchement, à l'utilisation d'oxytocine et au recours à une césarienne planifiée.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. The treatment ranges from medical treatment with methotrexate to hysterectomy. CASES: We report two cases of cervical pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity that were successfully treated with multidose methotrexate. CONCLUSION: Due to the possible severe complications of cervical pregnancy and its surgical management, multidose methotrexate treatment in hemodynamically stable women is an appropriate option.
