A 29 year old woman who had used a Lippes Loop D for 4 years was examined for acute pelvic pain. The IUD was removed and tests determined the presence of endomyometritis and parametritis on the left side of the pelvis. The patient, who had a history of thromboembolic disease, developed thrombosis of the left leg in spite of anticoagulant prophylaxis. The patient later underwent an operation to effect sterilization by using rings, and on the left side of the pelvis varicosis of the left ligamentum infundibulopelvic and the parametritis were observed. After the operation, the patient developed, in spite of prophylaxis, a pulmonary embolism, which was successfully treated.

A 39-years-old woman was admitted with pelvic pain and fever occurring one month after a caesarean. An echography-doppler and an abdominal tomodensitometry were performed. Thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein was diagnosed with extension of a floating thrombus into the inferior vena cava. We decided to perform a surgical thrombectomy due to a pulmonary embolism which occurred while the patient was under heparin and antibiotic treatment. A temporary percutaneous caval filter was successfully used in the peri-operative period, preventing a second embolism. This observation focuses on a rare pathology occurring in young women and emphasises the safe use and removal of a temporary percutaneous caval filter in the peri-operative period.

Post-partum endometritis are frequent and account for the fifth cause of maternal death. This disease is preventable and effective treatments are available. Streptococcus agalactiae is the primary pathogen implicated. The clinical diagnosis is usually easy and involves pelvic pain, fever and abnormal lochia. Whenever antibiotic treatment provides no clinical improvement, or in case of doubt on the vacuity of the uterus, an ultrasound exam must be performed. Likewise, a CT scan or a MRI will be performed in case of persistent fever in search of a pelvic abscess requiring a drainage, or of a pelvic thrombophlebitis. Thromboplebitis requires heparin for the duration of antibiotic therapy, or oral anticoagulants for at least 3 months in case of pulmonary embolism or extension to the vena cava. The recommended antibiotic regimen combines clindamycin with gentamicin (once daily) intravenously. In case of contraindication or breastfeeding, other regimens may be prescribed. Adequate duration of treatment has not been evaluated and a switch to oral antibiotics after clinical improvement brings no benefit. Antibioprophylaxy (mostly cephalosporins) is recommended in cases of cesarean section (at skin incision), while it is debated in case of assisted delivery or of 3rd and 4th degree perineal tears.

A 36-year-old young woman with a medical history of recurrent pulmonary embolism and chronic pelvic pain was admitted to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced imaging techniques revealed a large left renal vein aneurysm with a coexisting vascular mass. The patient was operated on electively, and the left kidney was autotransplanted to the right ileac fossa following the ex vivo resection of the vascular mass and the left renal vein aneurysm. Herein, we report an unusual coexistence of a vascular mass and recurrent pulmonary embolism treated successfully with our surgical treatment strategy.
