BACKGROUND
Isolated hematotrachelos is an ex- tremely rare condition. More commonly it is associated with hematometra and/or hematocolpos. It may devel- op secondary to congenital anomalies of the reproductive tract or may be an acquired condition following cervical surgery or manipulation. No case has been reported fol- lowing abdominal myomec- tomy.
METHODS
A 40-year-old, nul- ligravid woman was diag- nosed with isolated hemato- trachelos when she presented with severe abdominal pain following ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate. After the diagnosis was obtained, she recounted 2 similar presentations occurring months earlier. Both episodes had been attributed to gastroenteritis, but each had re- solved with "explosive" onset of menses. All 3 episodes plus 1 later recurrence happened within a 36-month period following an abdominal myomectomy.
CONCLUSIONS
Acquired hematotrachelos is a rare condition, and the diagnosis is often missed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of isolated, recurrent hematotrachelos following the use of a uterine manipulator cannula in association with an abdominal myomectomy.
