Title: Placenta percreta-induced uterine rupture with right ovarian vein thrombus protracting into the inferior vena cava. Author: Yapar Eyi EG, Halıcı Öztürk F, Alkan M. Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2020 Oct; 48(8):493-497. PubMed ID: 32783208. Abstract: In Turkey, the triad of prior cesarean section (CS), placenta previa, and placenta accreta spectrum is worth of concern. Here, we present an unpublished complication of placenta percreta-induced uterine rupture: ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) protracting into the inferior vena cava (IVC) in a woman with a previous CS and placenta previa. We propose the integration of the sub-xiphoid transabdominal long axis of the IVC into the point-of-care ultrasound practice with color Doppler to establish the diagnosis of complicated OVT. To prevent placenta accreta spectrum-related complications, there is an urgent need to lower CS rate both globally and in Turkey.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
