The PDPAS has good internal consistency and concurrent validity with satisfactory psychometric characteristics. As a short measure of situation-specific anxiety, it can be used as a screening tool in prenatal clinical settings.
BACKGROUND:Some benign changes of the ovaries like hyper reaction luteinalis sometimes cannot be differentiated from malignant ones without histological examination. In these cases, surgical intervention sometimes cannot be avoided. Hyperreactio luteinalis is a condition that can occur only in pregnancy. It is characterised by bilateral benign multicystic ovarian enlargement.CASE REPORT:We present a case of misleading intraoperative findings during Cesarean section that ended with ovariectomy.CONCLUSION:During the Caesarean section, some benign masses of the ovaries, like hyper reaction luteinalis, are difficult to differentiate from malignant disease without histological examination, requiring surgical intervention.
