involving 145 cases. We recruited all patients received for colposcopy after a Pap smear suggestive of a high-grade lesion according to the 2001 Bethesda classification. The parameters studied included epidemiological data, colposcopic features, colposcopy biopsy findings, therapeutic aspects. , the results of the histology of the operative specimen and the follow-up. The analysis was done by the means of SPSS 21. Results: During the study period, we performed 145 colposcopies for patients with high grade lesions. Postmenopausal women accounted for almost half of the patients (48.3%), followed by women in genital activity (42.1%). The average age at first intercourse was 18 years with extremes of 12 and 32 years. One third of our patients (36.5%) used modern contraception. The patients had more than 4 pregnancies in the majority of the cases (82.8%) with an average of 6 pregnancies with extremes of 0 and 15 pregnancies. The average parity was 5.8 with extremes of 0 and 12. The majority of women had given birth at least four times (64.9%). In colposcopy, vulvoscopy was normal in all patients, examination without preparation found a red zone in 52.4%, examination after application of acetic acid found a mild acidophilus in 4.8%, intense acidophilus in 44.8% and the junction area was visible in 55.9%. Examination after application of lugol found an iodine-negative zone with fuzzy contours in 57.9% of cases. Colposcopy resulted in Grade I atypical transformation in 6.2% and Grade II atypical transformation in 59.3%. After the biopsy under colposcopy, the histology found a microinvasive and invasive squamous cell carcinoma in 37.9%, a CIN 3 in 21.2%, a CIN 2 in 4.5%, a CIN 1 in 9% and a carcinoma in situ in 3%. We achieved 13 conizations (18%), 29 hysterectomies (40.3%) and 9 colpohysterectomies associated with a lymphadenectomy (12.6%). The postoperative course was simple in all our patients. After surgical treatment, pathology examination showed CIN3 in 34% of cases, CIN2 in 22% of cases, CIN1 in 11% of cases, squamous cell carcinoma in 17% of cases and was normal in 17% of cases.
Maternal tetanus is the development of Clostridium tetani in the maternal organism due to unsanitary practices during childbirth or abortion. It has become a rare condition since the introduction of tetanus toxoid vaccination in pregnant women.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
