Rarely, varices can arise in the cervix and cause life-threatening maternal hemorrhage. This article offers an example of a patient who was diagnosed with bleeding cervical varices during pregnancy and summarizes the diagnosis and treatment strategies for the 20 other reported cases in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A PubMed literature search using the following terms was performed to gather data for the literature review: \u201cbleeding\u201d or \u201chemorrhage\u201d and \u201ccervical varices\u201d or \u201ccervical varix\u201d or \u201ccervical varicosities\u201d and \u201cpregnancy\u201d or \u201cobstetric\u201d or \u201cmaternal.\u201d Individual references cited in each article were also evaluated for inclusion in this review.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 50-year-old gravida 7 para 1 presented at 12 4\/7 weeks with vaginal bleeding. Endo-vaginal ultrasound showed enhanced color Doppler signal in the endocervical canal. During a speculum exam, she was found to have active bleeding from ruptured cervical varicosities and required blood and fresh frozen plasma transfusion. Hemostasis was achieved with interrupted suture ligation. A McDonald cerclage was subsequently placed. She continued pregnant until delivery via cesarean section at 37 2\/7 weeks. To date, there have only been 20 other reported cases of bleeding cervical varices during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case report and review of the literature highlight the importance of including bleeding cervical varices in the differential diagnosis of maternal hemorrhage and offer a treatment strategy if cervical varicosities are discovered during pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3233\/npm-200667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]],"date-time":"2021-04-30T13:56:26Z","timestamp":1619790986000},"page":"195-202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bleeding cervical varices in pregnancy: A case report and review of the           literature"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Natalie","family":"Poliektov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bronwen F.","family":"Kahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrix Medical Group of Colorado, Denver, CO,\r            USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gynor.2012.12.002"},{"key":"ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.23937\/2377-9004\/1410053"},{"key":"ref003","first-page":"138","volume":"78","author":"Fleming AD","year":"1993","journal-title":"Nebr Med J"},{"key":"ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(85)90697-0"},{"key":"ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0096(199807\/08)26:6<317::AID-JCU7>3.0.CO;2-L"},{"key":"ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2007.00553.x"},{"key":"ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4137\/JCM.S11276"},{"key":"ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2006.25.4.545"},{"key":"ref009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000435449.01356.99"},{"key":"ref010","first-page":"451","volume":"53","author":"O\u2019Brien B","year":"2013","journal-title":"Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol"},{"key":"ref011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5468\/ogs.2019.62.1.65"},{"key":"ref012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tjog.2018.08.028"},{"key":"ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.8946"},{"key":"ref014","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2011.01548.x"},{"key":"ref015","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.12969"},{"key":"ref016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.22504"},{"key":"ref017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2004.00202.x"},{"key":"ref018","unstructured":"CunninghamFG,             LevenoKJ, BloomSL, DasheJS, HoffmanBL, CaseyBM, et al.           eds.
