We report about the prenatal diagnosis of pentalogy of Cantrell in the third trimester. In this case sonographic evaluation revealed mild form of ectopia cordis, severe omphalocele, small meningomyelocele, mild hydrocephalus, severe polyhydramnios and allantoic cyst of the umbilical cord. The pregnancy was terminated by a caesarean section at 35 weeks of pregnancy because of severe polyhydramni...

We have presented a second case of heterotopic pregnancy after IVF-ET. The most likely cause is direct extrusion of embryos through the tubal ostia by the hydrostatic pressure associated with ET. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be suspected clinically and not ruled out on the sonographic demonstration of an intrauterine pregnancy. Early diagnosis is essential for the prevention of signi...

coexistence of a viable fetus with a hydatidiform mole is a rare condition and the diagnosis is very important because of the risk of developing severe complications in pregnancy.the management of these pregnancies is optional, although accurate and great care is required to find early signs of maternal or fetal complications. hereby we report a case of dizygotic twin pregnancy with a complete ...

Splenic ectopic pregnancy is very rare, it is easy to be negligence by doctors and the outcome is ominous if not treated promptly. Here we reported an extremely rare case happened in a young Chinese woman. She was admitted in to hospital by hypovolemic shock. A live splenic ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound. Laparotomy with splenectomy was performed and histology confirmed the diagn...

Over the past two to three decades, pelvic ultrasonography and measurements of the serum concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) [Table 1] have become mainstays in the diagnosis and management of early pregnancy problems. These tests, which allow earlier detection of pregnancy and more accurate diagnosis of its complications than were previously possible, have revolutionized the man...

dairy farmers have been longing for simple and economical methods of early pregnancy diagnosis. urine based biochemical and mineral assays could be one of those methods, owing to the ease of sample collection and relatively simple and economical assays involved. however, basic information on changes in urinary composition during early pregnancy in cattle is lacking. this study was designed to e...

Second trimester abdominal ectopic pregnancies are rare and life threatening. Early diagnosis and treatment are paramount in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality. We describe an unusually late diagnosis of abdominal pregnancy despite multiple ultrasounds beginning in early pregnancy. A 28-year-old G2P1001 sought pregnancy termination at 22 weeks' gestation after fetal anomalies were noted ...

The wide use of assisted reproductive technologies has contributed to the increased risk of ectopic and subsequently heterotopic pregnancy (HP) rate. Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a very rare and life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy that can also present as HP. We are describing here a case of 34-year-old woman who presented with bleeding heterotopic cervical pregnancy (HCP). The concomit...

Background: Cervical pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy (EP) in which the pregnancy implants in the lining of the endocervical canal. It accounts for less than 1 percent of ectopic pregnancies. The cause is unknown; local pathology related to previous cervical or uterine surgery may play a role given an apparent association with a prior history of curettage or cesarean delivery. The ...
