Subchorionic hematoma

BACKGROUND: The aim of the retrospective cohort study was to investigate the prognostic effect of subchorionic hematomas (SCH) in the first trimester on pregnancy outcomes after euploid embryo transfer. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed women achieving singleton pregnancy by PGT-A or PGT-SR from January 2017 to January 2022. Patients were enrolled in the study if they had a viable intrauterine pregnancy at ultrasound between 6 0/7 and 8 0/7 weeks of gestation...

Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) is a hematoma in which blood accumulates between the chorion and decidua basalis due to the separation of the chorion and decidua basalis. It is common in patients with threatened abortion in early pregnancy and is mainly detected by ultrasound. SCH mainly manifests as an hypoechoic or anechoic crescent-shaped fluid dark area on ultrasound images. Although there are numerous studies on SCH, its pathogenesis and etiology remain unclear, and its influence on pregnancy outcomes is also controversial; there are also no uniform clinical treatment guidelines...

Background-We evaluated whether the oral intake of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (HMWHA) in association with alpha lipoic acid (ALA), magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin D can improve the resorption of subchorionic hematoma in cases of threatened miscarriage. Methods-In this study, we enrolled 56 pregnant women with threatened miscarriage (i.e., subchorionic hematomas, pelvic pain/uterine contractions, and/or vaginal bleeding) between the 6th and the 13th week of gestation. They were treated with vaginal progesterone (200 mg/twice a day) (control group; n = 25) or vaginal progesterone plus oral 200 mg HMWHA, 100 mg ALA, 450 mg magnesium, 2...

Background: The available literature on intrauterine transfusion focuses largely on its application in fetal alloimmunization rather than hereditary red cell disorders, with limited illustration of its associated histopathologic findings. Case report: We present the histologic findings in a placenta associated with preterm delivery of an infant with autosomal SPTA1 mutation following multiple intrauterine transfusions, including appropriate villous maturation, subchorionic organizing hematomas, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and dysmorphic fetal erythrocytes within villous capillaries...

RATIONALE: Subchorionic Hematoma, often referred to as Bruce hematoma, can lead to serious obstetric complications such as intrauterine growth restriction and fetal death, as well as early and late pregnancy miscarriage, placental abruption, and premature rupture of membranes, posing great harm to both mother and fetus. PATIENT CONCERNS: At present, Western medical treatments have not shown satisfactory results, necessitating the discovery of more effective clinical treatment methods...

Subchorionic hemorrhage (SCH) or hematoma is one of the abnormal ultrasonic manifestations. At present, there are few studies on the pathogenesis of SCH, and its underlying mechanism is still unclear. It may be related to abnormal placenta formation and implantation, autoimmune dysfunction, and coagulation dysfunction. As a unique complication of pregnancy, SCH has a controversial effect on pregnancy outcome. The aim of the present study was to explore the possible etiology of SCH, especially its association with autoimmune dysfunctions, as well as the pregnancy outcomes of SCH patients...

STUDY QUESTION: Do characteristics of the lower uterine segment and cervix modify the risk of preterm delivery in uterus transplant (UTx) recipients? SUMMARY ANSWER: The cervical length showed little association with preterm delivery, however, cervical inflammation deserves further exploration as a cause of preterm delivery. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: UTx recipients do not have the risk factors normally used to stratify pregnancies that would benefit from cervical length assessment...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between subchorionic hematoma (SCH) and coagulation status, autoantibodies, and conception method. Methods: A total of 100 pregnant women diagnosed with SCH from June 2020 to December 2021 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the SCH group, while 100 healthy pregnant women during the same period were selected as the control group. The coagulation status (including platelet, prothrombin time, thrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, antithrombin Ⅲ, fibrin degradation products, D-dimer, homocysteine, protein S activity, protein C activity), the positive rate of autoantibodies [including antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibody and anti-β2 glycoprotein Ⅰ antibody), antinuclear antibody] and the mode of conception of the two groups were analyzed...

A Breus' mole is a massive subchorionic thrombohematoma that arises below the chorionic plate on the fetal side of the placenta. It requires careful perinatal management because of the associated high incidence of severe fetal growth restriction and intrauterine fetal demise. However, the mechanism of its development remains unclear, and there are no reports examining the continuous changes in the hematomas. Herein, we report a case of a Breus' mole in which ultrasonographic massive subchorionic thrombohematoma changes were observed during pregnancy...

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the size and duration of asymptomatic subchorionic hematoma and pregnancy outcomes in women with singleton pregnancies. METHODS: This was a retrospective study that enrolled 701 singleton pregnant women who were diagnosed with asymptomatic subchorionic hematoma by ultrasound at 5-10 gestational weeks. The control group recruited 640 normal pregnant women without subchorionic hematoma who were matched with subchorionic hematoma group on baseline characteristics...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for subchorionic hematoma (SCH) in the first trimester of in vitro fertilization (IVF) twin pregnancies and investigate the impact of SCH on pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital. The study recruited patients who were identified with twin pregnancies in the first trimester, undergoing IVF treatment from January 2020 to May 2021...

BACKGROUND: Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is one of the invasive diagnostic methods used to diagnose chromosomal, genetic, and metabolic diseases in the embryonic period. The use of this method is associated with maternal and fetal consequences, the most serious of which is abortion. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the incidence of these consequences and the factors affecting the incidence of abortion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed on 98 pregnant women with CVS indications...

The objective of our meta-analysis was to estimate the effect of intrauterine hematoma (IUH) on obstetric and pregnancy outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancies. Four electronic databases were searched up to December 2021 to find studies reporting relevant outcomes of ART pregnancies with IUH. Dichotomous data were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Continuous data were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI. A total of six observational studies were included in this meta-analysis...

INTRODUCTION: Our objective was to explore the clinical features, pregnancy complications, and outcomes of subchorionic hematomas (SCHs) in the third trimester. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis and evaluation of 1112 cases diagnosed with SCHs from January 2014 to December 2020. Comparisons were performed according to the clinical features (e.g., number of pregnancies, parity, gestational weeks, and age), pregnancy complications, and outcomes associated with SCHs...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether different grades of subchorionic hematoma (SCH) are involved in the timing of birth and the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes in singleton pregnant women. METHODS: A total of 171 women with singleton pregnancies, 72 of whom had SCH before 20 weeks and between 12 and 20 weeks of gestational age (GA), were included in this study conducted between January 2018 and December 2021. These patients were divided into three subgroups based on the size of the subchorionic hematoma on ultrasound imaging...

Congenital heart disease (CHD) in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes, plausibly through mechanisms involving abnormal placental development and function. This retrospective study aims to elucidate how maternal CHD influences placental health. Demographic and clinical information were collected via electronic medical record review, and placentas underwent histopathological evaluation. Fifty-three singleton pregnancies were included: 35 participants (66%) were classified as lower cardiovascular risk (modified World Health Organization Classification (mWHO) I, II, II-III), and 18 (34%) were classified as higher cardiovascular risk (mWHO III, IV)...

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association between placental pathology and fetal heart failure.Methods and Results: Singletons with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and/or arrhythmia (n=168) and gestational age-matched controls (n=52) were included in the study. The associations between macro- and microscopic abnormal findings of the placenta and the severity of fetal heart failure were evaluated using the cardiovascular profile (CVP) score. Nine features were microscopically identified and assessed in sections of the placenta: premature villi, edematous villi, fibrotic villi, chorioamnionitis, chorangiosis, fibrin deposition, subchorionic hematoma, infarcted villi, and nucleated red blood cells in villous vessels...
