Rare obstetric conditions
Background: The nonspecific clinical presentations and the lack of an algorithm for early diagnosis of the causes of acute abdomen in pregnancy lead to a high percentage of errors, which increases a timeout before surgical treatment of patients.Yashchuk A.G., Fatkullina D.A., Dautova L.A., Battalova G.Yu., Mingareeva K.N., Berg E.A.
Case report: This paper describes 3 clinical cases of acute emergency pathology during pregnancy. The first case presents ovum ingrowth into the scar bed in the early stages of pregnancy; the second case deals with uterine rupture along the scar after a history of laparoscopic tubectomy; the third case shows adnexal torsion.
Conclusion: At present, there are no clear diagnostic criteria, nor is a treatment policy chosen for rare obstetric conditions. It is necessary to elaborate an algorithm for managing patients with acute emergency pathology in pregnancy. This approach will be able to reduce the time of examination, to increase the accuracy of diagnosing gynecologic pathology, and to decrease the number of diagnostic operations.
