Camille LAFRANCE, MD and Joalee PAQUETTE, MD, FRCSC

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

Madeline Wheatley, MD, Greta Fritz, MD, Amma Owusu-Aykaw, MD and Ashley Dowgiert, MD

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...

Though a rare complication of a poorly managed third stage of labour, uterine inversion can be an unusual occurrence in a non-pregnant patient. Gynecological or non-puerperal uterine inversions are mostly associated with benign uterine pathology such as uterine fibroid, but malignant tumours may sometimes be a cause....
