We report multi-modality imaging (Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) findings of a rare complication in a multi-gravida patient with history of Asherman syndrome presenting with placenta increta in a cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy. The appropriate diagnosis was established with imaging and patient was managed surgically with total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. Asherman syndrome and its management of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis are associated with increased odds of placenta accreta spectrum and postpartum hemorrhage. Patients with Asherman syndrome are considered high risk in pregnancy and should be closely monitored for placental site abnormalities during current and subsequent pregnancies.

A 40-year-old woman who had obstetric history of one vaginal delivery and two surgical abortions to terminate early pregnancy received regular prenatal care without any systemic maternal diseases. During the detailed second trimester ultrasound, a homogenous adhesion-induced pseudocystic lesion of 8.6 × 7.

The endometrium plays a fundamental role in the reproductive system yet many etiologies of infertility-related endometrial diseases such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, Asherman's syndrome or endometrial cancer remain unknown. There are currently no treatments that minimize the effects of this devastating disorder. Appropriate model systems that closely mimic the architecture and function of the endometrium in healthy and pathological states are needed to understand the underlying molecular pathways and develop novel or more effective treatments.

This article investigates the transformative impact of 3D and bio 3D printing technologies in assisted reproductive technology (ART), offering a comprehensive review of their applications in improving reproductive outcomes. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a thorough literature search focusing on the intersection of ART and additive manufacturing, resulting in the inclusion of 48 research papers. The study highlights bio 3D printing's potential in revolutionizing female infertility treatments, especially in follicle complex culture and ovary printing.

Study Objective: Women with Asherman syndrome are at high risk of recurrent adhesions and pregnancy complications. Spontaneous uterine rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication, associated with severe maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Uterine ruptures can occur after extended induction of labor or a history of cesarean section, whereas spontaneous uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is rare.
