Abstract
In many cases the presence of a myomatous formation in pregnancy begins its effect in a symptomless way and is revealed only by a regular sonographic control or at the time of delivery. In other cases, however, it could represent the cause of several complications, such as increased incidence of abortion extrauterine pregnancy premature breaking of the membranes, premature delivery distocia during delivery or it could itself be the site of necrotic processes. The attitude towards this type of pathology during pregnancy has often varied. The authors report their experiences regarding 408 cases of pregnancies complicated by myoma that were followed with accurate sonographic monitoring and they evaluate the incidence of the principal complications during pregnancy at the time of delivery and the eventual influence on the fetal weight at the time of birth.
