Re: Allen-Masters syndromeFrom: Efrain Ramirez (eramirezt@coqui.net)Wed Mar 21 18:40:04 2007
A side effect from endometriosis.. I remember when this was the most probable cause!! Ef Allen-Masters syndrome Also known as: Masters-Allen syndrome Associated persons: Willard Myron Allen William Howell Masters Description: Laceration of the fascial layers in the broad and Mackenrodt ligaments resulting in ”universal joint” type of mobility of the cervix. The cervix may be moved in any direction with minimal, if any, movement of the corpus uteri. The condition usually results from surgically traumatic or old lacerations of the broad ligament during delivery or, less frequently, from induced abortion, particularly as a result of excessive vaginal packing. Complaints include pelvic congestion and pain, menstrual disturbances, dyspareunia, fatigability, pain during intercourse, and backache. Bibliography: W. M. Allen, W. H. Masters: Traumatic laceration of uterine support. The clinical syndrome and operative treatment. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. Louis, 1955, 70: 500-513.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
