“…Those suspected of having endometrial polyps then underwent SCSH in order to confirm the diagnosis, as SCSH has proven to be superior to conventional TVS for diagnosing abnormalities in the uterine cavity 12,13 . The technique of SIS used in this study has previously been described 14 .…”

“…10 Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are modalities of choice for diagnosis of uterine fibroids. 11 Location, size, number and extent of myoma penetration into the myometrium are usually evaluated by MRI without the use of gadolinium contrast. The drawbacks of MRI in evaluation of uterine fibroids include high cost and low accessibility compared to ultrasound which is simple, non-invasive, affordable and more readily available.…”

Background: Uterine myomas co-existing with pregnancy could cause obstetric complications. Objectives: To assess sonographically the frequency of occurrence and effect of uterine myomas co-existing with pregnancy. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted during a period of 23 months. A convenience sample of 816 consecutive consenting pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria was evaluated during routine prenatal ultrasound scan. The women were referred for prenatal sonography. One hundred of the subjects who had myoma co-existing with pregnancy and another 100 subjects without myoma were selected for follow-up. These groups were followed up till delivery and obstetric complications and outcomes were documented. Any changes in size and growth rate of myoma were documented. Results: Subjects with myoma co-existing with pregnancy were 12.3%. This was commoner with increasing maternal age. An increase was observed in myoma mean size from 60mm to 63mm from the 1 st scan sequence to the 2 nd scan sequence and a reduction from 63mm to 59mm in the 3 rd scan sequence. Myoma growth rate was 0.667mm per week. Myomas in pregnancy especially large ones caused more complications during delivery when compared to pregnancies without myomas. Conclusion: Routine sonography is important in pregnancy management of uterine myomas co-existing with pregnancy.

“…In comparative studies between various methods of intra-uterine diagnostic procedures, SIS appears to be more reliable than transvaginal ultrasound alone and as predictive as hysteroscopy. The reliability of transvaginal ultrasound increases with the addition of saline solution as a contrast medium [17,[33][34][35][36]. In a meta-analysis by de Kroon et al the following data were established in this respect: sensitivity 0.95 (95% CI 0.93 to 0.97), specificity 0.88 (95% CI 0.85 to 0.92), likelihood ratios 8.23 (95% CI 6.2 to 11) and 0.06 (95% CI 0.04 to 0.09) [37].…”

Submucous myomas: diagnosis and therapy

et al. 2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this review problems concerning diagnosis and therapy of submucous myomas are discussed. In abnormal blood loss, especially during menstrual periods, it is probable that the submucous locations of fibroids have the strongest relationship with the symptoms. Both in diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, in the past decennium, a wide range of fine tuning has been developed that has changed dramatically the optimal management of submucous myomas and, therefore, of bleeding abnormalities during premenopause. Over-treatment can thus be prevented: for instance, hysterectomy in menorrhagia caused by a small pedunculated submucous fibroid. New modalities of minimally invasive treatment, however, have specific intrinsic problems that justify the development of protocols for these techniques. For the diagnosis of submucous myoma, and preceding operative treatment, intrauterine diagnosis through ultrasound or hysteroscopic imaging is mandatory. Hysteroscopic treatment of submucous myomas is the method of preference, unless the abnormality is too large or too numerous. Various practical aspects of treatment are discussed. Surgery for abnormalities that are not included in the basic training package according to Goals for the education of gynaecologists, ought to be performed by a gynaecologist with additional training and experience.
