[Intrauterine pregnancy with uterine myoma after downregulation with GnRH analogs].

GnRH analogues are widely used for the reduction of uterine fibroids. This case report describes the therapy of a 27-year-old woman, whose uterus had a diameter of about 13 cm. After 7 injections of Zoladex Depot (ICI Pharma, Heidelberg, Germany), the uterus was reduced to normal size carrying dorsally a myoma of the same size. After only 7 weeks of medroxyprogesterone acetate (5 mg twice daily, Clinofem, Upjohn, Heppenheim, Germany) the uterus had grown again, so that therapy was changed to Zoladex Depot for another 3 months. On the 27th day of the first spontaneous cycle, the patient ovulated and conceived. Up to the 29th week of gestation (Aug '91), the foetal growth and development was normal, the uterus was normal in size, a childhead sized myoma being situated unproblematically behind the foetus.
