Jpn Clin Med. 2013 Apr 9:4:21-4. doi: 10.4137/JCM.S11276. eCollection 2013.

Abstract

We present a case of cervical varix and low-lying placenta. A cesarean section was performed because of the risk of bleeding with vaginal delivery; hemostasis was achieved using z sutures at the bleeding points. After delivery, the cervical varix decreased dramatically in size. It is important to recognize the clinical features and available treatments for cervical varix.

Keywords: cervical varix; hemorrhage; low-lying placenta.
