Meconium peritonitis (MP) is a rare cause of non-immune hydrops with reported incidence of 1:35,000 live births. MP is defined as an aseptic localized or generalized peritonitis caused due intrauterine bowel perforation and extravasation of the meconium. Few causes which might result in perforation include Ileal atresia, intussusception, Hirschsprung’s disease, cystic fibrosis, volvulus, colonic atresia, Meckel diverticulitis and vascular insufficiency.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an outpatient fluoroscopy procedure that evaluates the uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency. In some cases, HSG may have a therapeutic effect. We present the case of a 35-year-old HIV-positive woman with a 3-years-old history of secondary tubal infertility, a hysterosalpingogram revealing bilateral proximal tubal obstruction and presented later on with a 6-weeks pregnancy on ultrasound after HSG evaluation. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an inexpensive and wid...

Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe, rare, potentially lethal soft tissue infection that develops in the scrotum and perineum, the abdominal wall or the extremities. It progresses rapidly and septic shock may ensue. When the anterior abdominal wall is involved it is referred to as Meleney's gangrene. It is seen as a serious complication of surgery which evolves rapidly and could carry a high mortality rate of 30-50%, approaching up to 90% in diabetic patients. It is a synergistic infection involvi...

Complete hydatidiform mole with co-existing fetus (CHMCF) is a rare obstetrical finding. These pregnancies pose a unique set of health concerns including hemorrhage, thyrotoxicosis, preeclampsia, and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). In this report, we present a 34-year-old G5P1 presented at 6 weeks and 5 days with vaginal bleeding. Further follow-up revealed a complete hydatidiform mole with co-existing fetus in a patient who desired continuation of pregnancy. There is a lack of data a...

Case Report: Pregnancy While Using an IUD
Elvin Piriyev and Thomas Römer
Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 19, 2020
Intrauterine contraception, mostly in the form of copper IUD or hormone-releasing system, is a widely used method with a high level of contraceptive security. Despite high contraceptive efficiency, pregnancy can still occur. Pregnancy with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNGIUS) in situ is very rare. Intracavitary pregnancy with an IUD can lead to a higher risk of infection and preterm birth. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital due to pregn...
