A 28-year-old woman comes to the gynecology clinic with severe, debilitating pelvic pain that began in her early 20s and has progressively worsened. She describes the pain as burning and stabbing, located in the lower abdomen and pelvis, and worsens 2-3 days before menstruation and peaks during menses. She also reports progressive deep dyspareunia, painful defecation, and cyclical rectal pressure. Over the past year, she’s developed urinary urgency and frequency around her period. She has missed several workdays due to the intensity of her symptoms and has begun to feel anxious about intercourse and menstruation. She and her partner have been trying to conceive for 18 months without success. On pelvic exam, the uterus is immobile and retroverted, with nodularity and exquisite tenderness along the uterosacral ligaments, and bilateral adnexal fullness. A transvaginal ultrasound reveals a 5 cm homogenous, hypoechoic ovarian cyst with a “ground-glass” appearance suggestive of an endometrioma.

Making the proper diagnosis is one of the most important aspects of any medical student’s or junior doctor’s clinical training and hence we created Clinical Edge Cases.

Ace Qbank Clinical Edge helps our students put their knowledge of symptoms and physical findings to test by applying clinical reasoning and assessment concepts to a series of common clinical vignettes. Problem-based learning is being used to focus on the cause behind the presentation of a simulated clinical case.

Each simulated Clinical Edge case contains a list of common causes of the presented condition, offers abundant references to the presented case, making additional information easy to find
