The authors present their experience in ultrasound patterns of primary and recurrent endometrioma and correspondence with histopathological results, using 2D and color Doppler ultrasound examination. Cases of primary and recurrent endometriomas, as well as other false positive diagnosis are presented. The presence of the peripheral, healthy ovarian tissue, is the principal difference between the primary endometrioma and their recurrence. The arousal of papillary projections or solid-type echostructure decreases the likelihood of an endometrioma without histological atypia. Postmenopause modifies the ultrasound features of endometrioma by decreasing homogeneity and echogenicity

Sirenomelia is a rare congenital malformation characterized by varying degrees of fusion of the lower extremities. It is commonly associated with severe urogenital and gastrointestinal malformations; however, the association of sirenomelia with anencephaly and rachischisis totalis is extremely rare. To our knowledge, the prenatal sonographic images of this association have not been previously published. Here, we present prenatal sonographic images of this association, detected during the 17th week of gestation through combined two-dimensional, four-dimensional, and color Doppler ultrasound. Two-dimensional ultrasound images showed anencephaly, spina bifida, and possible fusion of the lower limbs. Three-dimensional HDlive rendering images confirmed the final diagnosis of sirenomelia with anencephaly and rachischisis totalis. The patient opted to undergo medical termination of pregnancy and delivered a fetus with fused lower limbs, anencephaly, and rachischisis totalis confirming the in utero imaging findings. Awareness of these rare associations will help avoid misdiagnoses and facilitate prenatal counselling. This case highlights the importance of a thorough ultrasound examination.

Epistaxis is a common emergency, and its main causes are hypertensive crisis and trauma. Nasal packing is the primary treatment. After active symptomatic treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis effectively can be controlled. In this case report, the patient was treated with epistaxis many times in the outpatient department. After nasal examination, there was a clear bleeding point, and it was treated with gauze packing or silver nitrate cauterization. The symptoms of epistaxis gradually got worse and was accompanied with fever and progressive anemia. After blood culture and color Doppler ultrasound examination, it was confirmed that it was endocarditis caused by defective hypoxic bacterial infection. After active antibacterial and surgical treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis, fever and anemia were relieved.

Objective: To observe the early changes of uterine incision defects after cesarean section by transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound, and to analyze the risk factors of their formation. Methods: A total of 181 women who underwent cesarean section from September 2016 to June 2018 and who underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after birth were divided into two groups. (142 cases) and incision defect group (39 cases). The incision changes and the risk factors of incision defect in different periods of postpartum were analyzed. Results: Compared with the group with good incision healing, the length of the incision defect in the cesarean section at 6 months after delivery was shorter than that at 6 weeks after delivery (P < 0.05). The results of non-conditional logistic regression showed that the number of cesarean sections increased and the number of operators was lower. Seniority, postoperative infection, posterior uterine position, and incision close to the cervix are risk factors for poor healing of uterine scars. Conclusion: As the postpartum time increases, the length of the cesarean section incision defect shortens; multiple cesarean sections, puerperal infections, posterior uterus, low incision position and inexperience of the operator are the risk factors for the formation of uterine incision defects and increase uterine scars. Risk of poor healing.

Abstract Ultrasound examination has become the “golden standard” in follow-up of the development and complications in early pregnancy. With introduction of transvaginal sonography a possibility for early morphological and biometrical ultrasound examinations has been significantly improved. The essential aim of an early pregnancy ultrasound is not only to diagnose a pregnancy, but also to differentiate between normal and abnormal pregnancy. Application of color Doppler ultrasound has enabled functional hemodynamic presentation and evaluation soon after implantation.
