Cervical varix and low-lying placenta

Discussion:

The frequency of varicose veins in the cervix during pregnancy is rare, with approximately 15 cases being reported in the literature at the time of writing (2018). The risk of bleeding in these cases is very high. Risk factors include low-lying placenta and diethylstilbestrol exposure. In our case, the low insertion of the placenta is the major risk factor, which matches with the literature. This is caused by a low Insertion placenta, that increases the flow of cervical venous vessels.
