“…On the present multivariate analysis, PROM was an independent predictor of respiratory distress requiring NICU admission. As reported in a previous study, fibroids in pregnancy are often complicated by maternal anemia (26.6%) and threatened preterm labor (26.6%), both of which were predictors of NICU admission due to respiratory distress in the present study. Furthermore, in the present study, fibroids also increased the risk of NICU admission, even after adjusting for these factors, although the small number of NICU group neonates warrants further studies to investigate this relationship.…”

“…Radhika et al conducted a case series of fifteen patients and concluded that pregnancy with fibroids is associated with various adverse events like haemorrhage and should be considered as high-risk pregnancy 7 . Another similar study by Sarwar et al on thirty patients who had pregnancy with fibroid concluded that fibroid in pregnancy, especially multiple intramural fibroids and fibroids larger than 10 cm, cause miscarriage and preterm labour 1 .…”

Fibroids are common benign smooth muscle tumours occurring in 20-40% of women with an incidence of approximately 0.1% to 12.5% of all pregnancies. A 23 years old primigravida at 38 weeks 5 days gestational age referred from a private hospital with history of attempted emergency lower segment caesarean section in view of transverse lie under spinal anaesthesia and failed to deliver the baby and referred to our institute after closing the abdomen. On admission, ultrasound showed a large fibroid of 9×8 cm 2 on anterior wall of the lower segment of uterus. Abdomen was re-opened from previous incision site and a live baby delivered. Due to myoma the two ends of incised uterine wall could not be approximated, so myomectomy was planned. Histopathology confirmed leiomyoma.

Background: To study the role of MRI in diagnosing pregnancy-associated obstetric and gynecological complications. We prospectively studied 48 pregnant and postpartum women, aged between 20 and 45 years, who were referred for MRI between August 2016 and April 2018 with suspected pregnancy-associated obstetric and gynecological complication. MRI findings were confirmed by intra-operative or histological findings. Results: Out of the 48 patients, there were 32 women with suspected placenta accreta, 5 pregnant women with 6 ectopic pregnancies (1 patient had two gestational sacs), 3 with ovarian pathologies, 3 with uterine pathologies, 3 with abruptio placenta, and 2 with miscellaneous pathologies. In our study, there was an accuracy of 81.6% with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 50%. There was 100% accuracy in predicting abruptio placenta, ovarian, uterine, and miscellaneous pathologies by MRI. There was 83.4% and 75% accuracy in predicting ectopic pregnancy and placenta accreta, respectively, by MRI. Conclusion: MRI is very useful to diagnose pregnancy-associated obstetric and gynecological complications. It will be an important complementary tool to sonography and thereby facilitate better patient management.
