  • Title: Cervicitis associated with lateral cervical displacement.
    Author: Gjoni I, Muneyyirci-Delale O.
    Journal: Med Hypotheses; 2012 Jan; 78(1):134-5. PubMed ID: 22055917.
    Abstract:
    Lateral cervical displacement has been recognized as a sign of endometriosis; however, other causes of the finding have not been explored. In our experience, patients without endometriosis are presenting with lateral cervical displacement, mainly towards the left of midline. The common finding in these cases is the presence of cervicitis leading us to hypothesize the role of cervicitis in causing lateral displacement of the cervix. Future research into this area will provide us with a stronger understanding of the role that lateral cervical displacement plays in the development of pelvic pathology and the development of cervical cancer.
