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 mi. 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.
