ABSTRACT
The hematometra should be suspected in a patient with amenorrhea
and recurrent pain in low stomach. It is conditioned by anatomical
obstruction of the exit way from menstrual bled, that can release the
presentation forms described as hematocolpos, hematometra and hematosalpinx. Report does not exist where alone the cervix is affected,
for what the case is described with connotation of hematocervix.
Patient of 32 years, regular menstruation, begins symptoms 25 days later
to the menstruation, characterized by intense abdominal pain, for what
goes to the service of gineco-obstetrics urgencies, where it is hospitalized
under diagnose of abdominal painful syndrome. The transvaginal
sonographic reports long cervix and with distention for a collection
liquidates, the intern cervical hole open, the external minimally dehiscent,
scarce flow of the contained endocervical toward the vaginal way
through the external hole, for its ecographic aspect compatible with
hematic material. The diameters anteroposterior and transverse of the
cervix of 2.50 and 4.57 cm respectively.
Was passed to surgical room, CEH with fibrosis that hindered the open
dilation, for what were take both lips of the cervix and proceeded to
dilation with Hegar until number 6, begin glide of dark and dense
blood approximately in 60 ml. The evolution was good, since later to
the anesthetic event, she referred remission of the pain and the sonographic
control demonstrated cervix of normal anatomical characteristic,
inclusive until year of follow.
A wide diversity of symptoms and clinical data have been demonstrated
that should have present for the hematometra diagnosis, among those
that are the urinary retention, tennesmus and presence of painful pelvic
mass, but the recurrent abdominal pain is the constant in all the cases.
