PY - 2017 T2 - Fleischer's Sonography in Obstetrics and Gynecology: Textbook and Teaching Cases, 8e AB - Key TermsEndomyometritis: puerperal infection involving the endometrium and myometrium, usually involving multiple bacterial organisms including gram-positive and gram-negative enteric organisms and anaerobic bacteria. The patient usually manifests fever and uterine tenderness and is postpartum, especially after a cesarean.Hepatic subcapsular hematoma: bleeding into the liver parenchyma leading to a collection of blood distending the liver capsule. This condition, a complication of preeclampsia, puts the patient at risk for hematoma rupture and life-threatening bleeding.Ovarian vein thrombosis: a condition where pelvic veins involving the gonadal vein have a thrombus (clot), which is usually infected. The patient usually presents with fever and lateral abdominal pain and may have a palpable pelvic mass.Placenta accreta: abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine lining, usually due to abnormal placental penetration into large fragments of the decidual layer of the endometrium. This condition is increased by the number of prior cesareans and placenta previa.Postpartum hemorrhage: bleeding after delivery traditionally exceeding 500 mL on a vaginal delivery, and 1000 mL on a cesarean delivery. Early postpartum hemorrhage is less than 24 hours after the delivery, and late postpartum hemorrhage means exceeding 24 hours after delivery.Puerperium: the time after delivery until 6 weeks postpartum.Retained placenta: substantial amount of chorionic villi and products of conception retained in the uterus, typically causing bleeding or infection.
