[Submucosal isthmicocervical myoma--problems of diagnosis, labor and puerperium]

A case of submucosal isthmicocervical myoma, 85 mm in diameter, diagnosed for first time during CS. The neonate is with atrophy of left m. sternocleidomastoideus and facial asymmetry due to impression in the left temporoparietal region, without neurological impairment. Multiple ultrasound examinations were done but the fibroids vas not diagnosed. During one examination we presume that the fibroid was mistaken for the head because the BPD was in great discrepancy with other ultrasound parameters of the fetus. During the operation OICC was not found that is why the dilatation was made through the vagina. A myomectomy was not made during the operation. Because of the pressure and the deformation of the cervical canal from the myoma a drain was inserted through the canal to facilitate the evacuation of the lochia. The post operative period passed without any complications, the drainage was taken off on the 7th post operative day and the patient was discharged on the 8th day.
