22
Q

What is missed miscarriage

A

In utero death of the embryo prior to the age of viability ,with retention of he pregnancy for a prolonged period of time

23
Q

Features for missing miscarriage ?

A

The symptoms of pregnancy will decrease

The cervix is usually closed

24
Q

The criteria for missed miscarriage diagnosis ?

25
Q

Surgical treatment for miscarriage cases during the early weeks of gestation is
(Before week 12)

A

Dilatation and curettage
Dilatation and evacuation
To prevent the risk of hemorrhage and infection due to the gestation remnants

26
Q

D and c possible complication

1- stabilize the patient
2- take a-blood and endometrial culture
3- board spectrum antibodies
4- surgical evacuation for the uterine contents

33
