Proportional vascularization along the fallopian tubes and ovarian fimbria: assessment by confocal microtomography

et al. 2020

Abstract Objective: To evaluate and reconstruct three-dimensional images of vascularization along the fallopian tube (FT), as well as to determine its relationship with the ovary and ovarian fimbria, and to quantify the blood vessels along the FT according to its anatomical segments, using confocal microtomography (micro-CT). Materials and Methods: Nine specimens (six FTs and three FTs with ovaries) were fixed in a solution of 10% formalin for > 24 h at room temperature. Iodine staining was performed by soaking the specimens in 10% Lugol’s solution for 24 h. All specimens were evaluated using micro-CT. A morphometric analysis was performed on the reconstructed images to quantify the vascular distribution along the FT. Results: In the FTs evaluated, the density of blood vessels was significantly greater in the fimbrial segments than in the isthmic segments (p < 0.05). The ovarian fimbria was clearly identified, demonstrating the important relationship between these vessels and the FT fimbriae. Conclusion: We believe that the vascularization in the fimbriae is greater than and disproportional that in the other segments of FT, and that the ovarian fimbria plays an important role in the development of that difference.

Here we analysed rare and acute complications of endometriosis in pregnant women by searching Cochrane, HINARY, and PubMed databases. Keywords were “rare”, “causes”, “acute”, “complications”, “endometriosis”, and “pregnancy”. The search depth was 10 years (2011−2021). In total, we found 126 publications, 41 of which met the selection criteria. The course of pregnancy and childbirth in patients with endometriosis is insufficiently studied. Yet, it is characterised by a higher risk of complications including those rarely occurring: haemoperitoneum, intestinal perforation, appendicitis, torsion and rupture of the endometrioid cyst, and thoracic endometriosis. Because of major hormonal changes occurring during the pregnancy, endometriosis undergoes a significant progression or decidualisation. As endometrioid tissue is characterised by a resistance to progesterone, its defciency during the pregnancy can lead to necrosis, perforation of decidualised foci, and severe bleeding. Progesterone deficiency provokes hypervascularisation of the endometrioid tissue, which is the most common cause of spontaneous haemoperitoneum and most frequently occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy and after in vitro fertilisation. Pregnancy increases the risk of endometriosis-related intestinal perforation of different localisation: small intestine, caecum, appendix, and rectosigmoid colon. Limited information about the pregnancy-related complications of endometriosis leads to their underestimation, albeit they can be life-threatening and significantly impact the health of the mother and fetus. The results of this review indicate the need for the further studies of the pregnancy course in patients with endometriosis, especially after the use of assisted reproductive technology. Development of specific clinical guidelines would contribute to the efficient prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications in patients with endometriosis.

Twist and shout: magnetic resonance imaging findings in ovarian torsion

et al. 2019

Adnexal torsion is characterized by partial or complete rotation of the suspensory ligament of the ovary and its corresponding vascular pedicle, resulting in vascular impairment that can culminate in hemorrhagic infarction, as well as necrosis of the ovary and fallopian tube. Because there are myriad causes of acute pelvic pain, the differential diagnosis of ovarian torsion is often challenging. Consequently, radiologists should be familiar with the main imaging findings. In this regard, there are typical signs of ovarian torsion on magnetic resonance imaging, including increased ovarian volume with stromal edema and peripheral distribution of the ovarian follicles, as well as thickening of the fallopian tube, an adnexal mass (causal factor) that shifts toward the midline, and the classic, pathognomonic “whirlpool sign”. The objective of this essay was to review and illustrate the various magnetic resonance imaging findings in ovarian torsion.
