Congenital malformations of the uterus vary in frequency according to studies throughout the world. They may be discovered antenatally, at birth or during childhood. Some remain unrecognised and are discovered later by chance during radiological investigations or surgery. We report two cases of uterine malformations, one case of a unicervical bicornuate uterus and one case of a unicornuate uterus discovered incidentally during emergency caesarean sections....

Mixed connective tissue disorders are a group of autoimmune disorders with overlapping clinical features of rheumatoid, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, and scleroderma. They are associated with the presence of high titers of anti-U1RNP, anti-La, and anti-Ra antibodies [1]. The underlying pathophysiology is non-inflammatory vasculopathy. The presentation of these disorders includes arthralgia, Raynaud’s phenomenon, puffy hands, esophageal abnormalities, and cardiac problems such...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/05/15
Adnexal torsion is a surgical emergency that cannot be ignored in women. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. While the occurrence of adnexal torsion in pregnant women is rare, it still can present significant risks. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman, pregnant at 24 weeks of amenorrhea and consulted for an acute abdominal pain. She underwent exploratory laparoscopy, which revealed ovarian torsion caused by a functional cyst along with epiploic appendigitis. During the procedure...

A septate uterus is the most common congenital anomaly of the uterus. Pregnancy in a septate uterus may progress asymptomatically to term. However, complications may arise and threaten the obstetrical or even vital prognosis of the pregnant woman. The authors report a rare case of uterine rupture in the second trimester of pregnancy in a septated uterus....

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency, often challenging to diagnose due to overlapping clinical presentations. We present a case of AFE-induced cardiovascular collapse and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) in a 38-year-old patient G6P4A1V3, emphasizing the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach and the importance of timely recognition in successful management....

Dicavitary Di-Di Twin in Uterine Didelphys: A Case Report

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/02/29
Patient is a 27-year-old G2P1001 from Michigan, found to have spontaneous dichorionic diamniotic twin gestation in the setting of known uterine didelphys, with a twin localized to each uterine horn. Both twins were affected by severe fetal growth restriction, and the patient ultimately delivered via cesarean section at 29 weeks gestation, secondary to HELLP syndrome. Cesarean section was complicated by fetal malpresentation, requiring T-incision, and elevated quantitiate blood loss of 1400 mL......

Uterine Rupture: A Distressing Catalyst for Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage
Chirag Sharma and Hina Patel
Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/02/29
Uterine rupture is a disruption of the uterine scar, causing foetal expulsion into the peritoneal cavity. This condition, primarily caused by the separation of uterine scar tissue from previous caesarean surgery, reduces foetal survival and increases maternal morbidity and mortality. A 32-year-old woman with a history of four vaginal deliveries and one caesarean section was diagnosed with uterine rupture, leading to a laparotomy procedure and obstetric hysterectomy. Consistent antenatal care can...
