Hematocolpos remains the main consequence of the transversal septums of vagina.
The management of transversal septum of vagina is essentially based on surgery.
The risk of vaginal stenosis after surgery remains high.
Placenta accreta spectrum disorders is a rare pathology but the incidence has not stopped to increase in recent years. The purpose of our work was the analysis of the epidemiological profile of our patients, the circumstances of diagnosis, the interest of paraclinical explorations in antenatal diagnosis and the evaluation of the evolutionary profile. We hereby report a case series spread over a period of one year from 01/01/2015 to 01/01/2016 at the Gynaecology-Obstetrics department of the University Hospital Center IBN SINA of Rabat where we identified six cases of placenta accreta. We selected patients whose diagnosis was confirmed clinically and histologically. The major risk factors identified were a history of placenta previa, previous caesarean section, advanced maternal age, multiparity. 2D ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed us to strongly suspect the presence of a placenta accreta in a pregnant woman with risk factor(s) but the diagnosis of certainty was always histological. Placenta accreta spectrum disorders were associated with a high risk of severe postpartum hemorrhage, serious comorbidities, and maternal death. Leaving the placenta in situ was an option for women who desire to preserve their fertility and agree to continuous long-term monitoring in centers with adequate expertise but a primary elective caesarean hysterectomy was the safest and most practical option. Placenta accreta spectrum disorders is an uncommon pathology that must be systematically sought in a parturient with risk factors, to avoid serious complications. In light of the latest International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) recommendations of 2018, a review of the literature and finally the experience of our center, we propose a course of action according to whether the diagnosis of the placenta is antenatal or perpartum.
L'hémorragie de délivrance reste la première cause de mortalité maternelle au Maroc, c´est une urgence obstétricale qui nécessite une prise en charge rapide, efficace et multidisciplinaire. Dans les cas d´hémorragie du post-partum grave rebelle au traitement médical, les progrès de la radiologie interventionnelle et surtout des techniques chirurgicales ont fourni des alternatives sûres et efficaces à l'hystérectomie d´hémostase. On rapporte un cas de nécrose utérine suite à un traitement conservateur chirurgicale de l´hémorragie de délivrance à base d´une combinaison de technique de compression utérine type B-Lynch et triple ligature vasculaire de Tsirulnikov. La patiente a présenté un tableau de sepsis a J4 du post-partum avec un état fébrile et des douleurs pelviennes et un syndrome inflammatoire biologique qui s´est aggravé 48 heures après par l´apparition de contracture abdominale. Le scanner abdomino-pelvien a montré des bulles de gaz dans le myomètre utérin évoquant une nécrose. Une laparotomie exploratoire a été réalisée, l'exploration a révélé une nécrose complète de l'utérus. Les techniques chirurgicales des sutures de compression utérine jouent un rôle majeur dans l'arsenal thérapeutique de l'hémorragie post-partum pendant la césarienne. Elle permet, en complément ou en alternative à la ligature vasculaire, la préservation de la fertilité de la patiente mais elle nécessite également une prudence et une surveillance maximale des complications dont la plus grave est la nécrose utérine.
