  • Title: Submucosal vesical varicosities causing hematuria and retention of urine in pregnancy: cystovarix.
    Author: Hallamore SL, Grills RJ, Neerhut G, Lawrentschuk N.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2007 May; 196(5):e29-30. PubMed ID: 17466671.
    Abstract:
    Pregnancy may be associated with urological complications but gross hematuria is rare. Mechanical obstruction of venous return with pregnancy-associated smooth muscle dilatation and vasodilatation causes venous congestion, predisposing to varicose veins. We present a case of bladder submucosal venous hemorrhage secondary to such varices and describe mechanisms underlying cystovarix formation.
