Uterine prolapse during pregnancy is an uncommon condition. It can cause preterm labor, spontaneous abortion, fetal demise, maternal urinary complication, maternal sepsis and death. We report the case of uterine prolapse in a 32-year-old healthy primigravid woman. She had no risk factors associated with uterine prolapse. She was conservatively treated, resulting in a successful vaginal delivery. This report is a very rare case of uterine prolapse in a young healthy primigravid woman, resulting in a successful vaginal delivery.
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a fatal disease in only pregnant woman during labor and delivery. The pathologic findings that have demonstrated fetal squamous cells in the pulmonary circulation are no more specific. Then, clinically characteristic signs and symptoms, such as cardiovascular collapse, acute hypoxia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, mental change and laboratory findings are the key points for diagnosis. Having a doubt on those sign and symptoms is the beginning of diagnosis and promptly multidisciplinary management is required. Korean National Registry for AFE must be established and we have to find out the diagnostic criteria, possible etiology, pathophysiology, management and treatment for AFE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
