A 35-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) underwent termination of pregnancy (ToP) at 12 weeks of gestation. One month after ToP, she experienced significant vaginal bleeding and the mass with blood flow was identified on imaging. The presence of a placental polyp with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) was suspected on transvaginal sonography and MRI. Since the bleeding had ceased when she visited our hospital, we decided to treat the placental polyp with AVM with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist therapy instead of surgery. Two months after GnRH antagonist treatment, the mass and blood flow in the uterus disappeared. Menstruation resumed 1 month after the completion of treatment. In our case, we were able to successfully treat placental polyps with AVM using GnRH antagonist therapy.

Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum hemorrhage can arise from common conditions like placental remnants and uterine atony, as well as rarer issues like uterine rupture and placental polyps.
- - Ultrasound is vital for accurately identifying the causes of postpartum hemorrhage, guiding the necessary treatment, and detecting related issues such as intraabdominal hematomas.
- - The article includes 52 ultrasound images combined with clinical and histopathologic visuals to showcase various common and uncommon pathologies encountered after childbirth.
Structured hysteroscopic examination of uterine niches: a modified Delphi procedure.
Facts Views Vis Obgyn
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Uterine niches are common in women with previous Caesarean deliveries, yet there is no standard way to perform hysteroscopic evaluations of these niches, despite existing guidelines for ultrasound assessment.
- A modified Delphi procedure involving expert consensus led to the agreement on a standardized method for hysteroscopic evaluation, defining niches and recommending subsections based on their complexity.
- The resulting structured registration form aims to improve consistency and detail in evaluating uterine niches, emphasizing the importance of combining hysteroscopy with ultrasound for thorough assessment.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: A Pictorial Review on Differential Diagnosis and Not-So-Common Cases of Interventional Radiology Management.

Department of Radiology, Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, Piazza OMS 1, 24127 Bergamo, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a complex issue in women's health, with various causes and presentations that require a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
- The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics categorizes AUB into structural (like polyps and malignancies) and non-structural causes, helping clinicians determine the best course of action.
- Ultrasound is the primary imaging method for diagnosing AUB, while CT and MRI can provide further insights in unclear cases or emergencies, and the review highlights both common and rare AUB cases treatable through interventional radiology.
Uterine vascular abnormalities linked to pregnancy complications: color and power Doppler-assisted transvaginal ultrasound evaluation.

February 2024
Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt.
Aim: Abnormal uterine vascular pattern can be observed during transvaginal ultrasound examination used for investigating post-abortion bleeding and secondary postpartum hemorrhage. The purpose of this series of cases was to evaluate almost all the rare causes of uterine vascular abnormalities linked to pregnancy complications, and determine how to arrive at the diagnosis to optimize patient management, which is crucial for preventing life-threatening massive vaginal bleeding.
Material And Methods: Retrospective observational case series study including 20 women with postpartum or post-abortion vaginal bleeding who were found to have an abnormal uterine vascular pattern during a transvaginal color duplex assessment.
