Re: MRI IN PREGNANCYFrom: Joanne Bulley (islesannie@yahoo.com)Fri Mar 30 13:37:49 2001
I've been involved with a patient that in 3 out of 4 (4 out of 5 now... I wasn't in the last pregnancy care) there were severe hydronephorsis problems - usually resulting in multiple stent procedures - she was an RN who refused any percutaneous nephrostomies. I have seen articles that have suggested that the hydronephrosis is due to ovarian veins compressing the ureters. It has been suggested to ligate the veins with resultant relief of the problem. Our patient's problems (in second and subsequent pregnancies) began by the late first trimester - before the uterus couls be the compression force. We never had the liberty of MRI - so I am not answering that part of your question. But it sounds like this patient. Joanne

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.
