A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among women within 10weeks of gestation from November to October at a single specialist facility in Cape Coast metropolis. Patients' age, indications, gestational age, fetal heart rate, presence of broids, presence of placenta, characteristics of the broids size, number, location and echopattern , and early pregnancy complications.
The prevalence of broid in early pregnancy was The majority of the broids The incidence of fetal death was higher among women without broids 3. Threatened miscarriages 2.

Ultrasound investigation of uterine broid is essential in early pregnancy to target treatment intervention for better fetal and maternal health outcomes. Journal of Experimental and Clinical Anatomy, Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate the prevalence of uterine myoma, its variations, location, size and uterine anteroposterior diameter.
Materials and Methods: The study utilized transabdominal ultrasound to assess myoma in 2, female patients. Results: Investigation showed cases of myoma, representing a prevalence of 6. Solitary myoma was noted in Analysis for multiple fibroid showed that Only 3. Conclusion: While higher values have been obtained in Europe, the prevalence of myoma in this study is similar to that documented for other parts of SouthWestern Nigeria.
Results showed the preponderance of solitary myoma both in pregnant and non-pregnant subjects. Findings also showed that increased uterine anteroposterior diameter is correlated with the existence of myoma and could serve as a predictive index for the presence of fibroid.
