OBJECTIVE
To document the technical results and spectrum of practice of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for fibroids in the health care setting in Canada. The effects of interventional radiologist's (IR's) experience with UAE on procedure and fluoroscopy time were also investigated.
METHODS
The
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a relatively rare cerebrovascular disease, of which the risk has been documented in patients with numerous conditions. However, CVST has never been previously described in association with the use of a diagnostic curettage in patient with uterine fibroid.
BACKGROUND
Primary ovarian leiomyoma is a quite rare tumor and usually it is small and unilateral. Most cases are asymptomatic. This benign tumor is usually diagnosed incidentally on routine pelvic examination or in pathologic specimens at surgery or at autopsy.
METHODS
In this case, a patient with
A 12-year-old mixed-breed male dog was referred to the Clinica Medica Veterinaria of Bologna University for recurrent episodes of seizures due to hypoglycemia with abnormally low plasma insulin levels (18 pmol/l). Resection of a large leiomyoma (780 g) of the gastric wall resulted in a permanent
Medical professionals and public are concerned about the complications of pregnancy and delivery in women with epilepsy (WWE).
