Isolated Recurrent Hematotrachelos After Abdominal Myomectomy A Case Report
Background:
Isolated hematotrachelos is an ex- tremely rare condition. More commonly it is associated with hematometra and/or hematocolpos. It may devel- op secondary to congenital anomalies of the reproductive tract or may be an acquired condition following cervical surgery or manipulation. No case has been reported fol- lowing abdominal myomec- tomy.
Case:
A 40-year-old, nul- ligravid woman was diag- nosed with isolated hemato- trachelos when she presented with severe abdominal pain following ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate. After the diagnosis was obtained, she recounted 2 similar presentations occurring months earlier. Both episodes had been attributed to gastroenteritis, but each had re- solved with "explosive" onset of menses. All 3 episodes plus 1 later recurrence happened within a 36-month period following an abdominal myomectomy.
Conclusion:
Acquired hematotrachelos is a rare condition, and the diagnosis is often missed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of isolated, recurrent hematotrachelos following the use of a uterine manipulator cannula in association with an abdominal myomectomy.

Data Reporting and Recording
Types of Reports I: Hands-off Report
Following are the key components and categories of hand-off reports:
Purpose and Process:
Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
