SHORT CERVIX AND CERVICAL
INSUFFICIENCY
By Jean Bosco Henri HITAYEZU
OBJECTIVES
 At the end of this session student will be able to:
• Define short cervix
• Discuss the significance of cervical length
• Manage the short cervical length
• Define cervical insufficient
• Describe the impact on pregnancy outcome
• Follow the woman with cervical insufficient
A. SHORT CERVIX
 Sonographic cervix length of 10 to 20 mm or <25
mm measured at 18-24 weeks’gestation.
 Women with a very short cervix<15mm before 24
GA: need cerclage placement
 Golden standard for cervical length measurement is
Transvaginal ultrasound(TVUS).
 Abdominal ultrasound is not reliable difficulty in
obtaining an appropriate angle.
SHORT CERVIX CONT….
 Cervical length may also be measured with
CerviLenz: small disposable device used during
speculum examination.
CONTI….
 Cervical length <30 mm is considered as short
 Need medical intervention because high lisk of
preterm labor.
 Vaginal progesterone therapy is needed.
B. CERVICAL INSUFFICIENT
 Cervical effacement and dilatation without pain in
second and early third trimester.
 Risk factors:
 Congenital :
 Diethylstilbestrol(DES) exposure
 Congenital anomalies
 Uterine anomalies
RISK FACTORS
 Congenital :
 Diethylstilbestrol(DES) exposure
 Congenital anomalies
 Uterine anomalies
 Obstetrics history factors:
 Hx of fetal loss at 14 week’s gestation
 Hx of cervical laceration
 Multiple first or second trimester pregnancy terminations
 Gynecologic History factors:
 Mechanical dilation from curettage or
hysterosalpingogram
 Previous cervical conization with a large amount of
tissue removed.
MANAGEMENT
 Women with hx of two or more third trimester losses
need medical consultation.
 Cervical cerclage before 24 week’s gestation.
 Hx of two or more midtrimester losses-need
cerclage placement between 14-18 weeks’gestation
without considering cervical condition.
 Health education about signs and symptoms of
cervical change: pressure, increases discharge,
spotting, cramping. –Return for reassessment
