Cervical varices complicating pregnancy are rare but can cause significant maternal and perinatal morbidity. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal management of bleeding caused by cervical varices during pregnancy.
A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital at 16 weeks of gestation due to vaginal hemorrhage in the setting of cervical varices accompanied by placenta previa. A cervical pessary was placed at 21 weeks of gestation without further bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated variceal reduction after pessary placement, and a cesarean delivery was performed at 36 weeks of gestation without complications.
Cervical pessary should be considered as conservative option to control the bleeding associated with cervical varices during pregnancy.
妊娠合并宫颈静脉曲张较为罕见,但可导致严重的母胎发病率。关于妊娠期间宫颈静脉曲张出血的最佳处理方法,证据有限。
一名 38 岁女性因宫颈静脉曲张伴前置胎盘导致阴道出血而于妊娠 16 周入院。妊娠 21 周时放置宫颈托,未再出血。磁共振成像显示放置宫颈托后静脉曲张减少,并于妊娠 36 周行剖宫产术,无并发症。
宫颈托应被视为控制妊娠期间宫颈静脉曲张相关出血的保守选择。
