Abdominal ultrasonography was performed on a caprine doe with anorexia, dysuria, and a palpable abdominal mass. Ultrasonography of a large firm mass situated cranial to the pelvic brim revealed a distended urinary bladder, which was confirmed by a dynamic bubble study. The left kidney had a large anechoic renal medulla and dilated renal pelvis and ureter consistent with ureteropyelectasia. Necropsy confirmed the existence of hydronephrosis and hydroureter, as well as cystitis, pyelonephritis, and partial urinary tract obstruction. The cause of the obstructive uropathy was a mass of fibrous tissue that obliterated the uterine cervix and partially obstructed the urethra and left ureter. The cause was presumed to be a cervical trauma from dystocia and forced extraction of a kid, with subsequent chronic fibrosis.

528 pregnancies of primiparous girls 13-17 years old who gave birth during 1988-90 at the obstetrical ward of the city of Pleven, Bulgaria, were evaluated. The pregnancy outcome and neonatal results were compared with those of 100 controls. These 528 births amounted to 5.48% of a total of 9635 births at the clinic. These girls were of low socioeconomic status, 14.2% were illiterate or had low educational attainment, and 56.42% were of Gypsy origin, without skills, and from rural areas. Only 32.89% of the Bulgarian girls had an official marriage license. Anemia was found in 13.64%, kidney infection (without symptoms of bacteriuria, pyelonephritis) in 6.44%, preeclampsia in 2.46%, and eclampsia in 0.76%. The most frequent occurrence was premature rupture of the membrane (9.85%). Term deliveries numbered 433 and preterm deliveries 95. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to term and preterm deliveries (p 0.01). Dystocia amounted to 2.8% and instrumental delivery to 1.70% among these adolescent girls. The rate of premature delivery reached 17.99%, and cesarean section was performed in 5.44%. There was a significant difference between the two groups with respect to vaginal delivery (p 0.01) and cesarean section (p 0.01). 44% of 16-year old girls underwent cesarean section; and there was a significant difference in the rate of cesarean section between 14-year-old and 17-year-old girls (p 0.05) as well as between 16-year-old and 17-year-old girls (p 0.01). 71.95% of newborns had a birth weight of less than 3000 g. There was also a significant difference between the groups with regard to term and prematurely born neonates (p or = 0.01). Intrauterine growth retardation reached 2.46% because of the inadequate uterine size of girls 13-14 years old, insufficient weight gain during pregnancy (under 9 kg), and complications (preeclampsia and eclampsia). The rate of stillbirths was 7.63%, attributed to prematurity and malformation of the fetus. Maternal mortality reached 1.89% owing to pregnancy complications (eclampsia) among 17-year old girls because of low socioeconomic status and complete lack of prenatal care.
