Three-Dimensional Technology to Diagnose Unilateral Cervical Atresia in Obstructive Hemivagina with Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Published in
Journal of Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology, July 2017
Congenital atresia of the cervix in the setting of an obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is an unusual occurrence which is frequently missed by preoperative imaging modalities.
A 14 year-old adolescent female presented to a tertiary-care facility with abdominal pain associated with a mass. Initial imaging with ultrasound and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) suggested OHVIRA but a 3-D MRI also correctly identified unilateral cervical atresia on the obstructed left side.
3-D MRI in the setting of OHVIRA was used successfully in this case to preoperatively identify cervical atresia and to guide preoperative surgical counseling and planning. The use of 3-D MRI for this purpose has never been described in the literature.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 August 2017.
All research outputs
#31,228,352
of 34,411,289 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology
#1,222
of 1,342 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#320,005
of 356,841 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology
#13
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,411,289 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,342 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 356,841 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
