BACKGROUND Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) can lead to blood accumulation and potentially affect pregnancy outcomes. Despite being a relatively common finding in early pregnancy, the effects of SCH on pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and preterm birth remain debated. This study aims to address these gaps by systematically evaluating the influence of SCH-related clinical factors on pregnancy outcomes using robust analytical techniques.

Placental Sonomorphologic Appearance and Fetomaternal Outcome in Fontan Circulation.

J Clin Med

September 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Prenatal Medicine, University Hospital Bonn, Venusberg-Campus 1, 53127 Bonn, Germany.

Pregnancies in women with Fontan circulation are on the rise, and they are known to imply high maternal and fetal complication rates. The altered hemodynamic profile of univentricular circulation affects placental development and function. This study describes placental sonomorphologic appearance and Doppler examinations and correlates these to histopathologic findings and pregnancy outcomes in women with Fontan circulation.

The patient, a 34-year-old primigravida with no prior medical history, presented at 23 + 0 weeks with gestational hypertension and fetal growth restriction (FGR). Ultrasound examination showed a placental mass, and subsequent repeated ultrasound scans revealed changes in the mass' echogenicity, raising suspicion of a massive subchorionic thrombohematoma (MST). While the blood pressure was mildly elevated without proteinuria and organ dysfunctions, serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor (sFlt-1/PlGF) ratios showed significantly elevated values.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aims to investigate the link between subchorionic hemorrhage (SCH) during the first trimester and maternal and neonatal outcomes in women who became pregnant through assisted reproductive technology (ART).
  • Using databases like PubMed and Embase, researchers focused on studies involving singleton pregnancies, comparing outcomes between women with and without SCH.
  • The analysis of nine cohort studies concluded that women with early pregnancy SCH had similar risks for preterm birth, low birth weight, and overall outcomes compared to those without SCH, suggesting SCH may not significantly affect maternal and neonatal health in this specific group.

Background: Transvaginal (TVUS) and transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) are both utilized in the evaluation of early pregnancy patients. While many practitioners using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) will generally not pursue TVUS in cases where an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is visualized on TAUS, this may not be true in Radiology performed ultrasound.

Objectives: To evaluate for differences in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) utilization between Radiology performed (RP) ultrasound and point of care ultrasound (POCUS) by Emergency Department (ED) physicians in early pregnancy patients.

Subchorionic hematoma: Research status and pathogenesis (Review).

Med Int (Lond)

January 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan 450052, P.R. China.

Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) is a hematoma in which blood accumulates between the chorion and decidua basalis due to the separation of the chorion and decidua basalis. It is common in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy and is mainly detected by ultrasound. SCH mainly manifests as an hypoechoic or anechoic crescent-shaped fluid dark area on ultrasound images.

The available literature on intrauterine transfusion focuses largely on its application in fetal alloimmunization rather than hereditary red cell disorders, with limited illustration of its associated histopathologic findings. We present the histologic findings in a placenta associated with preterm delivery of an infant with autosomal mutation following multiple intrauterine transfusions, including appropriate villous maturation, subchorionic organizing hematomas, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and dysmorphic fetal erythrocytes within villous capillaries. Intrauterine transfusion is associated with placental histologic findings that reflect procedural changes without significant disruption of placental membranes or villous maturation.

Unique risk factors for unplanned preterm delivery in the uterus transplant recipient.

Hum Reprod

January 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Prisma Health, Columbia, SC, USA.

Study Question: Do characteristics of the lower uterine segment and cervix modify the risk of preterm delivery in uterus transplant (UTx) recipients?

Summary Answer: The cervical length showed little association with preterm delivery, however, cervical inflammation deserves further exploration as a cause of preterm delivery.

What Is Known Already: UTx recipients do not have the risk factors normally used to stratify pregnancies that would benefit from cervical length assessment. In addition, unique factors related to absent tissues, a different blood supply, inflammatory processes of rejection, cervical biopsies, and a different microbiome challenge the normal progressive remodeling of the cervix and thus cervical competence.
