Abstract

This chapter is a mixed bag of a number of small yet important topics that did not fit well into other chapters, but require attention. The pathologies discussed include arteriovenous malformations, uterine perforation, vesicouterine fistula, retroflexed uterus, caesarean scar defect, intrauterine contraceptive device, follicular monitoring and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
