RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the laparoscopic management of an obstructed uterus didelphys before and after treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease. To compare the appearance of pelvic organs during active infection with their appearance after washout and appropriate antibiotic treatment, emphasizing the importance of knowing when to abort a procedure. DESIGN: Video demonstration of surgical and medical management considerations during a complex pelvic surgery. Visualization of tissue healing that occurs with appropriate antibiotic treatment. SETTING: Academic Center. PATIENT: A patient who presents for definitive surgical management of a uterus didelphys with an obstruction at her right hemicervix. Her presentation is complicated by a tubo-ovarian abscess. INTERVENTION: A uterus didelphys is classically defined as two hemiuteri with duplicated cervices with or without a longitudinal vaginal septum. Uterus didelphys may have an obstruction and/or communication between the two uterine horns, in which case patients may present with complications such as cyclic pelvic pain from hematometra or genital tract infection. This is a case report of a 14-year-old G0 who presented to the emergency department with two weeks of vaginal bleeding, severe diffuse abdominal pain, and malodorous vaginal discharge. Transabdominal ultrasound and a magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis established a new diagnosis of a uterus didelphys with an obstruction at her right hemicervix and a fistulous tract connecting her right and left hemiuteri at the level of the internal cervical os. She was also found to have a 3 cm left ovarian cyst and a new finding of congenital absence of her right kidney. Patient was administered ceftriaxone, doxycycline, and metronidazole antibiotics as treatment of presumed pelvic inflammatory disease but experienced minimal improvement after 24 hours. The decision was made to proceed with surgical intervention. A survey of the pelvis revealed significant inflammation, friable peritoneum, and endometriosis. The uterine horns in didelphic configurations were visualized. The fimbriae at the left fallopian tube were notably splayed out, swollen, and inflamed. There was a notable large mass in the location where the ovarian cyst had been previously described on imaging. A large amount of purulent material was expressed when compressed, consistent with a tubo-ovarian abscess. The infection likely originated from the menstrual blood collection at the right obstructed cervix that ascended through the communication between the right and left hemiuteri. The pelvis was irrigated thoroughly. At this point, the decision was made to stop the procedure, pursue antibiotic treatment, and resolve the active infection before correcting her complex müllerian anomaly. Patient continued on her antibiotic course, which included piperacillin-tazobactam, while hospitalized, followed by a five-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate. She was also placed on medroxyprogesterone acetate for menstrual suppression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Advantage of allowing time for antibiotic treatment and tissue healing before repair of a complex müllerian anomaly. RESULT: With antibiotic treatment, she recovered well postoperatively with resolution of her pain. Three months later, she returned to the operating room for definitive surgical management of her obstructed uterine didelphys. On laparoscopy, there was a significant improvement in tissue quality. Most notably, the fimbriae of the left fallopian tube were no longer inflamed. We proceeded with the planned correction of the complex müllerian anomaly. After resection of the right uterine horn, the fistula tract was identified and also resected. The defect in the right hemicervix was closed over, reinforcing the medial side of the left hemicervix. She had an uncomplicated postoperative recovery, and menses resumed without pain. CONCLUSIONS: The presented case provides unique insight into the tissue healing that occurs before and after antibiotic treatment. Knowing when to stop, especially in the setting of an active infection, is extremely important for performing a procedure safely, minimizing harm, and allowing for robust tissue repair. It is also important to optimize modifiable preoperative factors before correcting a complex müllerian anomaly. Assessing and reassessing the situation during a complex pelvic surgery is essential, especially in the setting of a complex müllerian anomaly where the preoperative examination and imaging may not be definitive.

RESUMO

The aim of this article is to acquaint the gynaecological public with our experience with the use of computed tomography in the diagnosis of fluid collections in women with clinical suspicion of complicated pelvic inflammation or a complication after gynaecological surgery. We present diagnostic dilemmas that radiologists deal with, including differential diagnoses. We also deal with the benefits for the referring gynaecologist, and we also discuss the possible discrepancy between his expectations and the result of the examination.

RESUMO

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to a group of infectious diseases of the female upper genital tract, often caused by ascending infection of vaginitis and cervicitis, causing endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and/or pelvic peritonitis. PID is the most common and important infectious disease in nonpregnant women of childbearing age, and inflammation in multiple parts often coexists and affects each other. The functional MRI techniques currently used in pelvic floor muscle injury are magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, T2 mapping, and magnetic resonance elastography. Diffusion tensor imaging is a new imaging and postprocessing technology developed on the basis of magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging. Due to the lack of specificity of clinical symptoms, many subclinical patients are often not detected and diagnosed in time, so it is very difficult to accurately estimate the incidence of PID. This article retrospectively analyzed 72 patients with pelvic inflammatory disease confirmed by surgical pathology from February 2020 to 2022, who had undergone pelvic MRI examination before surgery, including 25 patients with chronic pelvic inflammation (hydrosalpinx), 25 patients with acute pelvic inflammation, and 47 cases (including 21 cases of hydrosalpinx, 19 cases of tubo-ovarian abscess, and 7 cases of pelvic abscess). The age range was 13 to 59 years old. The clinical data and MRI findings were analyzed, the ADC value of the cystic part of the lesion was measured, and the differences in age, maximum diameter of the lesion, thickness of the vessel wall/separation, and the ADC value of the cystic part of chronic and acute pelvic inflammation were compared. In this part of the cases, there were 25 cases of chronic pelvic inflammation and 47 cases of acute pelvic inflammation. The average ADC value of the cystic component of chronic inflammation was significantly higher than that of acute inflammation, which were (2.86 ± 0.20) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.07 ± 0.38) ×10-3 mm2/s, respectively, P value <0.001.

RESUMO

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is a complication to pelvic inflammatory disease causing perihepatitis as described in this case report. A 21-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to pain under the right upper quadrant and febrility. Gallstones and pyelonephritis were ruled out. The Chlamydia test came back positive, and the patient had an elevated cancer antigen 125-level. She was suspected to have Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. On a second look on the ultrasound scan of the liver the capsule was seen to have a characteristic three-layered appearance. The patient was treated with doxycycline. On follow-up she was asymptomatic, and the laboratory parameters were normalised.

RESUMO

The perihepatic space is frequently involved in a spectrum of diseases, including intrahepatic lesions extending to the liver capsule and disease conditions involving adjacent organs extending to the perihepatic space or spreading thanks to the communication from intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal sites through the hepatic ligaments. Lesions resulting from the dissemination of peritoneal processes may also affect the perihepatic space. Here we discuss how to assess the perihepatic origin of a lesion and describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of normal structures and fluids that may be abnormally located in the perihepatic space. We then review and illustrate the MRI findings present in cases of perihepatic infectious, tumor-related, and miscellaneous conditions. Finally, we highlight the value of MRI over computed tomography.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is caused by various enzyme deficiencies, among which 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency accounts for more than 90% of cases. Neonatal screening became mandatory only a few decades ago. Many patients who were born before this went undiagnosed and some of the severely virilized females were raised as men. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 58-year old man with a history of excisional surgery in the external genitalia when he was a toddler presented with three days of dysuria and low abdominal pain. DIAGNOSIS: The patient's laboratory results showed leukocytosis and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP); thus, the physicians decided to perform a computed tomography (CT) scan. The CT demonstrated pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), left adrenal gland myelolipoma, and a mesenteric mass. Meanwhile, we suspected CAH based on the clinical history and assessed the patient's hormone levels. Seventeen-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH-PG) was markedly elevated and the patient was diagnosed with classic simple virilizing CAH. INTERVENTIONS: Intravenous antibiotics were administered, and positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) was performed to evaluate any metastases. OUTCOMES: After 2 weeks of antibiotic treatment, CRP decreased to 0.12 mg/dL and PID was resolved. The patient opted for resection of the female genitalia along with the mesenteric and adrenal gland tumors in the near future, and was safely discharged. LESSONS: The adrenal gland myelolipoma was thought to have developed as a result of a longstanding exposure to adrenocorticotropic hormone. There are controversies regarding the management of female genitalia in CAH patients who identify themselves as men. In this case, the physician and patient decided to remove the female genitalia because the surgery for the mesenteric mass was inevitable and there was a possibility of recurrent PID. To our knowledge, this is the first article to report primary mesenteric tumor in a CAH patient to date. In conclusion, patients who were born before neonatal screening for CAH became the mainstay, who are suspected to have CAH from their history, and present with abdominal pain must be diagnosed by performing an imaging study, testing levels of serum 17-OH-PG, and screening for female genitalia and adrenal gland myelolipoma.

RESUMO

El desarrollo de ascitis moderada o severa es infrecuente tras una enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica por Chlamydia trachomatis, una de las principales causas de infección de transmisión sexual a nivel mundial. Caso clínico: Paciente de 29 años que tras aborto diferido (gestación tras inseminación artificial) que inicia a las seis semanas con cuadro de dolor abdominal inespecífico y ascitis de predominio linfocitario. El diagnostico se realizo mediante PCR (Werfen®) tanto el liquido ascítico como en exudado endocervical. La paciente recibió tratamiento antibiótico con doxiciclina. Conclusión: Las enfermedades de transmisión sexual deben ser consideradas cuando se realiza un diagnóstico diferencial de una mujer sexualmente activa con dolor abdominal y ascitis, instaurar tratamiento antibiótico y evitar pruebas e intervenciones quirúrgicas innecesarias.


The development of moderate or severe ascites is infrequent after a pelvic inflammatory disease from Chlamydia trachomatis, one of the main causes of sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Clinical case: A 29-year-old patient who, after a delayed abortion (gestation after artificial insemination), started at six weeks with symptoms of non-specific abdominal pain and predominantly lymphocytic ascites. The diagnosis is made by PCR (Werfen®) both the ascitic fluid and the endocervical exudate. The patient received antibiotic treatment with doxycycline. Conclusion: Sexually transmitted diseases should be considered when making a differential diagnosis of a sexually activated woman with abdominal pain and ascites. Establishing antibiotic treatment, and avoiding unnecessary tests and surgical treatments.

RESUMO

Abstract Asymptomatic female genital tract colonization with Actinomyces spp is not uncommon, particularly among intrauterine device users. Pelvic actinomycosis is an extremely rare disease. The clinical picture can resemble an advanced ovarian malignancy. We report a case of pelvic actinomycosis mimicking ovarian malignancy diagnosed postoperatively. Preoperative diagnosis is possible if there is a high index of suspicion, obviating extensive surgery and preserving fertility, since long term antibiotic treatment can be completely effective. Pelvic actinomycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of women presenting a pelvic mass, especially if there is intrauterine device use history.


Resumo A colonização assintomática do aparelho genital feminino por Actinomyces spp não é infrequente, sobretudo em utilizadoras de dispositivo intra-uterino.

Relatamos um caso de actinomicose pélvica, simulando uma neoplasia maligna do ovário, com diagnóstico pós-operatório. O diagnóstico pré-operatório é possível se houver um elevado grau de suspeição, permitindo evitar cirurgias extensas e preservar a fertilidade, uma vez que o tratamento antibiótico prolongado pode ser totalmente eficaz. A actinomicose pélvica deve ser incluída no diagnóstico diferencial da mulher que apresente uma massa pélvica, sobretudo se houver história de uso de dispositivo intra-uterino.

RESUMO

Appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain resulting in surgery. While historically ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) have been used to evaluate for appendicitis and its related complications, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a highly accurate and increasingly utilized modality in the last two decades, particularly in the pediatric and pregnant patient populations in whom ionizing radiation is used reluctantly. This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of MRI as a modality to evaluate for acute appendicitis, summarizes studies of the diagnostic performance relative to CT and US, provides a standard MR protocol, and describes MRI findings typical of acute appendicitis, common complications, and other differential diagnoses.

RESUMO

The objective of this literature review is to update the recommendations for clinical practice about the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), microbiologic diagnosis excluded. An adnexal pain or cervical motion tenderness are the signs that allow a positive diagnosis of PID (LE2). Associated signs (fever, leucorrhoea, metrorrhagia) reinforce clinical diagnosis (LE2). In a woman consulting for symptoms compatible with PID, a pelvic clinical examination is recommended (grade B). In cases of suspected PID, hyperleukocytosis associated with a high C-reactive protein suggests a complicated PID or a differential diagnosis such as acute appendicitis (LE3). The absence of hyperleukocytosis or normal CRP does not rule out the diagnosis of PID (LE1). When PID is suspected, a blood test with a blood count and a CRP test is recommended (grade C). Pelvic ultrasound scan does not contribute to the positive diagnosis of uncomplicated PID because it is insensitive and unspecific (LE3). However, ultrasound scan is recommended to look for signs of complicated PID (polymorphic collection) or differential diagnosis (grade C). Waiting for an ultrasound scan to be performed should not delay the start-up of antibiotic therapy. In case of diagnostic uncertainty, an abdominal-pelvic CT scan with contrast injection is useful for differential diagnosis of urinary, digestive or gynaecological origin (LE2). Laparoscopy is not recommended for the unique purpose of the positive diagnosis of PID (grade B).

RESUMO

Introduction: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common presentation to emergency abdominal surgery. The most frequent causes of SBO are congenital, postoperative adhesions, abdominal wall hernia, internal hernia and malignancy. Patients: A 27-year-old woman was hospitalized because of acute abdominal pain, blockage of gases and stools associated with vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography showed an acute small bowel obstruction without any obvious etiology. In view of important abdominal pain and the lack of clear diagnosis, an explorative laparoscopy was performed. Diagnostic of pelvic inflammatory disease was established and was comforted by positive PCR for Chlamydia Trachomatis. Results: Acute small bowel obstruction resulting from acute pelvic inflammatory disease, emerging early after infection, without any clinical or X-ray obvious signs was not described in the literature yet. This infrequent acute SBO etiology but must be searched especially when there is no other evident cause of obstruction in female patients. Early laparoscopy is mostly advised when there are some worrying clinical or CT scan signs.

RESUMO

Pelvic actinomycosis is a rare entity that occurs almost exclusively in women, the presentation of which is usually non-specific and variable. Pelvic actinomycosis is almost always associated with the use of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD). Pelvic actinomycosis unrelated to IUD use is almost always associated with previous surgical procedures. The symptoms, clinical signs and radiological findings are usually non-specific, mimicking an ovarian malignancy. So an awareness of this rare condition and a proper diagnosis can avoid unnecessary surgeries because these cases can be treated with a prolonged course of antibiotics. We present a case of pelvic actinomycosis which masqueraded as an ovarian malignancy.

RESUMO

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an ascending infection of the female genital tract caused by the spread of bacteria from the vagina to the pelvic reproductive organs and occasionally the peritoneum. The most common causative organisms are sexually transmitted. PID is a significant source of morbidity among reproductive age women both as a cause of abdominal pain and as a common cause of infertility. Its clinical presentation is often nonspecific, and the correct diagnosis may first come to light based on the results of imaging studies. MRI is well suited for the evaluation of PID and its complications due to its superior soft tissue contrast and high sensitivity for inflammation. MRI findings in acute PID include cervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis/oophoritis, and inflammation in the pelvic soft tissues. Acute complications include pyosalpinx, tuboovarian abscess, peritonitis, and perihepatitis. Hydrosalpinx, pelvic inclusion cysts and ureteral obstruction may develop as chronic sequela of PID. The pathophysiology, classification, treatment, and prognosis of PID are reviewed, followed by case examples of the appearance of acute and subclinical PID on MR images.

RESUMO

Ultrasound is considered the first-line imaging modality in the evaluation of the fallopian tubes. This chapter reviews both the physiologic and pathologic sonographic findings of the fallopian tubes and how to recognize characteristic entities. Specifically, it describes how to use ultrasound techniques to distinguish between pathologic processes including chronic versus acute pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as infertility, torsion, and malignancy. It also describes how to employ modern ultrasound techniques, such as color Doppler, three-dimensional imaging, and salpingocentesis in clinical practice.

RESUMO

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a common medical problem, with almost 1 million cases diagnosed annually. Historically, PID has been a clinical diagnosis supplemented with the findings from ultrasonography (US) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. However, the diagnosis of PID can be challenging because the clinical manifestations may mimic those of other pelvic and abdominal processes. Given the nonspecific clinical manifestations, computed tomography (CT) is commonly the first imaging examination performed. General CT findings of early- and late-stage PID include thickening of the uterosacral ligaments, pelvic fat stranding with obscuration of fascial planes, reactive lymphadenopathy, and pelvic free fluid. Recognition of these findings, as well as those seen with cervicitis, endometritis, acute salpingitis, oophoritis, pyosalpinx, hydrosalpinx, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pyometra, is crucial in allowing prompt and accurate diagnosis. Late complications of PID include tubal damage resulting in infertility and ectopic pregnancy, peritonitis caused by uterine and/or tubo-ovarian abscess rupture, development of peritoneal adhesions resulting in bowel obstruction and/or hydroureteronephrosis, right upper abdominal inflammation (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome), and septic thrombophlebitis. Recognition of these late manifestations at CT can also aid in proper patient management. At CT, careful assessment of common PID mimics, such as endometriosis, adnexal torsion, ruptured hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, adnexal neoplasms, appendicitis, and diverticulitis, is important to avoid misinterpretation, delay in management, and unnecessary surgery. Correlation with the findings from complementary imaging examinations, such as US and MR imaging, is useful for establishing a definitive diagnosis. (©)RSNA, 2016.
