Nonsurgical Treatment of Pyomyoma in the Postpartum Period

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

BACKGROUND:
Only 13 cases of pyomyoma related to pregnancy have been described since 1945. Treatment consists of hysterectomy, which exposes critically ill patients to operative risks and induces infertility.
CASES:
Three cases of pyomyoma in the postpartum period are described. Treatment using computed tomography-guided drainage was realized successfully in two cases.
CONCLUSION:
Therapy via drainage and lavage of pyomyoma is a viable option to preserve patient fertility. In the absence of a proper response to this treatment, total abdominal hysterectomy is the treatment of choice.
