  • Title: Cervical varix complicating marginal placenta previa: a unique coexistence.
    Author: Sükür YE, Yalçın I, Kahraman K, Söylemez F.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol Res; 2011 Oct; 37(10):1515-7. PubMed ID: 21599808.
    Abstract:
    Uterine cervical varix (CV) is a very rare condition during pregnancy and may cause moderate to severe hemorrhage. We present the third reported case of huge CV coexisting with placenta previa in the English literature. A 40-year-old chronic hypertensive patient with marginal placenta previa also had cervical varix causing hemorrhage. At the 38th gestational week emergent cesarean section was performed because of placental abruption. Placenta previa is a risk factor for CV and patients with placenta previa who have moderate bleeding should be examined for this coexistence. The choice of management is close follow-up and cesarean section close to term.
