Background. Heterotopic pregnancy is a multiple gestation with both intrauterine and ectopic fetuses. A cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is when the fetus has implanted over the previous hysterotomy site. A known complication of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is uterine rupture, which can cause great morbidity and mortality. Case. 28-year-old G5P3105 at 10 weeks with a dichorionic diamniotic ge...

Background. Assisted reproductive technology has been linked to the increased incidence of monozygotic twinning. It is of clinical importance due to the increased risk of complications in multiple pregnancies in general and in monozygotic twins in particular. Case. A 29-year-old female, nulligravida underwent her first IVF cycle. Three poor-quality cleavage stage embryos were transferred result...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com abdominal mass. It is usually retroperitoneal or intraperitoneal but may also be present in scrotum or in cranial cavity [1]. Several theories have been given regarding the pathogenesis. One such theory explains the pathogenesis of fetus in fetu as ‘included twin theory’ in which the fetus in fetu represents an aberration of monochorionic diamniotic...

Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is a rare entity resulting from abnormal embryogenesis in diamniotic monochorionic twins, being first described by Johann Friedrich Meckel (1800s). This occurs when a vertebrate fetus is enclosed in a normally growing fetus. Clinical manifestations vary. Detection is most often in infancy, the oldest reported age being 47. We report the case of a 4-day-old girl who was refer...

The potential complications associated with an adnexal mass discovered during early pregnancy call for surgical treatment. Ideally, surgery is performed after gestational week 12, but uterine expansion after the first trimester makes surgery difficult. We report two pregnancies complicated by adnexal masses for which we used an organ fixation device for safe performance of single-site umbilical...

Twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a common complication of monochorionic twin gestations. If untreated, this condition carries a very high mortality rate for both twins. The therapeutic options available today are still rather limited. Therapeutic amniocentesis (amnioreduction) of the recipient twin's amniotic fluid has been shown to be effective in equalising pressures between the tw...
