1/9. broad ligament twin pregnancy. A case report.BACKGROUND: broad ligament pregnancy is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy. CASE: A 34-year-old, 11-week-pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 0, presented with left lower abdominal pain. She had undergone a right salpingectomy due to tubal pregnancy six years previously. She had a left broad ligament twin pregnancy, and excision of the pregnancy and left tube were performed. She was well at discharge and the six-week follow-up. CONCLUSION: This is the first case report of a broad ligament twin pregnancy after spontaneous conception.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/9. Successful laparoscopic treatment of an abdominal pregnancy in the broad ligament.Laparoscopic management of tubal ectopic pregnancy is the ideal form of treatment in most tertiary centres. Approximately 1% of ectopic pregnancies are abdominal pregnancies and these are usually managed by laparotomy. We present the first report of successful laparoscopic treatment of a 6.5 cm abdominal pregnancy located in the broad ligament of a 25-year-old woman.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/9. Angular pregnancy.Angular pregnancy, a type of cornual pregnancy, is a rare obstetric complication that can be life-threatening. In this situation, the embryo is implanted in the lateral angle of the uterine cavity, medial to the uterotubal junction and round ligament. Angular pregnancy must be distinguished from interstitial pregnancy, in which the embryo is implanted lateral to the round ligament. The report presented here describes a case of angular pregnancy that was diagnosed by endovaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. laparoscopy can be useful for guiding dilatation and curettage in angular pregnancies, and may circumvent the need for invasive surgery or hysterectomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/9. Intraligamentary pregnancy resulting in a live infant.Presented is the case of a woman with an ectopic pregnancy in the left broad ligament, which resulted in a live, healthy infant. Despite the characteristic history of an abdominal crisis early in pregnancy and complaints of abdominal pain throughout pregnancy, the correct diagnosis was not established until cesarean section.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/9. A rare obstetric contraindication to the use of vaginal prostaglandins for fetal demise.A rare obstetric contraindication to the use of vaginal prostaglandins for fetal demise is presented in the form of a case report. After two failed pitocin inductions for a third-trimester fetal demise, a patient was referred to the University of washington for definitive management. She was delivered of an advanced intraligamentous pregnancy at laparotomy. Preoperative diagnosis can avert a futile attempt at evacuation of the dead fetus, but preoperative diagnosis of intraligamentous pregnancy is rare. When the cervix is found in the extreme anterior position high in the vagina behind the symphysis and the fetal head is below it, the diagnosis of extrauterine pregnancy should always be considered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/9. Intraligamentous pregnancy. A case report.A patient experienced fetal demise at 33 weeks' gestation. Numerous attempts at induction of labor failed. It was not until a laparotomy was performed that the intraligamentous location of the pregnancy was determined. Although this diagnosis is rarely made preoperatively, repeated failure of induction should raise the suspicion of an abnormal implantation site.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/9. Bilateral twin ectopic gestation with intraligamentous and interstitial components. A case report.Twin ectopic gestations are rare; the majority involve one or both fallopian tubes. The case presented is the first known report of a bilateral twin ectopic pregnancy of this type. The patient experienced a concurrent right broad ligament ectopic pregnancy along with a left interstitial pregnancy. Her history was significant for a left cornual resection eight years previously. This case is additionally noteworthy in that intraligamentous gestations are rare, while interstitial pregnancies following cornual resection are even more uncommon.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/9. The pedunculated type of primary peritoneal pregnancy implanted on the infundibulopelvic ligament.BACKGROUND: Primary peritoneal pregnancy is extremely rare in the category of extrauterine pregnancy and usually has wide attachment to the peritoneal surface at the implantation site. CASE: A 37-year-old woman had severe lower abdominal pain 13 days before laparotomy for a preoperative diagnosis of extrauterine pregnancy. The conceptus was implanted on the pedicle originating from the left infundibulopelvic ligament. A fresh embryo of approximately 6 weeks' gestation was found in the conceptus. CONCLUSION: Primary peritoneal pregnancy may become pedunculated, and implantation on the infundibulopelvic ligament may be involved in the formation of the pedicle. A pedunculated pregnancy may increase the risk of early termination. The reflux theory may be one of the mechanisms in this case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/9. Ectopic pregnancy in uterosacral ligament.Two cases of ectopic pregnancy in the uterosacral ligament are presented. The cases are reported not only because of its rarity but also to arouse the thought of primary aetiology. With the increasing incidence of ectopic pregnancy due to assisted reproduction, gynaecologists are posed with the diagnostic challenge. The golden rule of management in extra-tubal pregnancy is to maintain high index of suspicion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = ligament (Clic here for more details about this article) |
