A case of fulminant viral hepatitis type B in the late stage of pregnancy was successfully treated with glucagon-insulin therapy, corticosteroids and other drugs. A 26-year-old female (housewife and primipara) suddenly developed severe hepatic dysfunction and disturbance of consciousness at the 36th week of pregnancy. Sequential blood examinations revealed early response to HBs antibody and del...

Birth fractures predominantly affect the clavicle, humerus or femur. Brachial plexus injury may co-exist with humeral or clavicular fractures. From January 2002 to December 2010, 8 neonates with fractures after caesarean section were treated under the supervision of the first author following obstructed labour and caesarean delivery. The most classical of the cases is a vertex-presenting neonat...

The antenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a third-trimester primipara patient showed a fetus in a vertical position with two separate heads, a common thorax, abdomen, and pelvis with a single pair of upper and lower limbs [Figure 1]. Both heads appeared equal and symmetric with normal brain development [Figure 2]. Two separate upper cervical spinal cords fused to form a single spinal co...

Isolated torsion of a fallopian tube in the third trimester of pregnancy is an uncommon event. Its common symptoms are lower abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea. Because these symptoms are nonspecific, isolated torsion of a fallopian tube may be misdiagnosed, delaying treatment and the opportunity to preserve the tube. This is a case report of a primipara in her third trimester, whowas misdiag...

Results: Out of 31,674 obstetric admissions, 45 (0.14%) were eclampsia cases of which 42.2% belonged to 20 <25 years and 28.8% in 17<20 years age group occurring mostly in primipara (71.1%). Antepartum and postpartum eclampsia were 77.7% and 22.2% respectively. Majority of them presented at 36-40 weeks’(46.6%), unbooked cases being 80% and 20% had antenatal check-up at this hospital. The diasto...

DISCLOSURES: NONE ABSTRACT Background: The occurrence of labial fusion in an adult following episiotomy is rarely reported. Even though it is one of the simplest procedures performed in obstetric practice, an episiotomy may be complicated by labial fusion which results in difficulty in sexual intercourse and infertility. Case Report: She was a 23-year old Primipara who presented to the Gynaecol...

Bicornuate and septate uteri are among the commonest Mullerian anomalies. They are sporadic and fairly distinguished, but hybrid deformities can occur. This combination creates aetiological and clinical difficulties. The alternative theory of concurrent fusion and septal resorption of the Mullerian duct is seen as the basis of the altered foetal embryology, while the favourable outlook of a bic...

Concomitant uterovaginal and rectal prolapse is an uncommon occurrence. Where laparoscopic equipment and skills are lacking, sacrohysteropexy with synthetic mesh and rectopexy can be accomplished by laparotomy, especially in women who desire to retain their uterus for either biological or psychological reasons. A 40-year-old primipara with a history of concomitant mass protruding from both her ...

During the last few years the care and management of premature infants has acquired additional importance, and has been more extensively studied in all civilized countries. This has been largely due to the widespread adoption of well-organized antenatal treatment, and considerably more inductions of labour are now performed in the interests of the mother or the child. Apart from the usual desir...

We report a supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (sPNET) in 17-year-old primipara in the second trimester her pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left frontoparietal mass with solid and cystic component. Gross-total resection was achieved via a left frontoparietal craniotomy. It was decided to suspend the radiotherapy and chemotherapy until the 30 weeks of gestation. But,...
