Intestinal obstruction following previous myomectomy and the use of beta-sympathomimetics in pregnancy
Abstract:
Two cases of intestinal obstruction in pregnancy following previous myomectomy are reported. The use of tocolytic agents to suppress premature uterine contractions may be a predisposing factor and probably intensifies the obstruction. As the symptoms mimic the normal side-effects of pregnancy, the diagnosis is often delayed. Laparotomy was done, as initial conservative treatment was unsuccessful in both instances. A live baby was delivered in the first case, whilst the second case ended in an abortion.
