AI Article Synopsis
- Cervical varices are rare during pregnancy but can lead to serious complications for both the mother and baby, and there's limited research on how to best manage bleeding from them.
- In a case study, a 38-year-old woman experienced vaginal bleeding at 16 weeks due to cervical varices and placenta previa, and a cervical pessary was successfully used to halt the bleeding.
- This case suggests that using a cervical pessary may be an effective conservative treatment for managing bleeding from cervical varices in pregnant patients.
Article Abstract
Background: Cervical varices complicating pregnancy are rare but can cause significant maternal and perinatal morbidity. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal management of bleeding caused by cervical varices during pregnancy.
Case: A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital at 16 weeks of gestation due to vaginal hemorrhage in the setting of cervical varices accompanied by placenta previa. A cervical pessary was placed at 21 weeks of gestation without further bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated variceal reduction after pessary placement, and a cesarean delivery was performed at 36 weeks of gestation without complications.
Conclusion: Cervical pessary should be considered as conservative option to control the bleeding associated with cervical varices during pregnancy.

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a clinical picture resulting from the obstruction of superior vena cava. SVCS usually causes symptoms and signs related to the head, the neck, the upper extremities and the upper thorax. We report a case of unusual clinical presentation of SVCS in a 25-year-old male patient who suffered from lymphoblastic lymphoma in childhood.

Background: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) and intradural AVFs are often associated with aneurysms and varics, and it is sometimes difficult to identify the ruptured point on radiological images. We report a case in which vessel wall magnetic resonance image (VW-MRI) was useful for identifying the ruptured point at the CCJ AVF.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a clinical condition characterised by repeated periods of partial or full obstruction of airflow throughout sleep, with impairment of the quality of life and increased mortality with socioeconomic impacts. CPAP therapy is a simple and effective treatment option for OSAS patients. To overcome the clinical and prognostic limitations of AHI-as a sole index of OSAS-the Baveno classification was recently set out and introduced into clinical practice.
