From Mystery Mass to Menacing Marrow: Uterine Myeloid Sarcoma Preceding the Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia - Case Report and Literature Review

Josip Valetić, Danijel Bursać, Ana Marija Kovačić, Lucija Kralj, Diana Culej Bošnjak, Josip Valetić and Željko Duić

Article Type: Case Report and Literature Review | First Published: 2024/10/27

Uterine myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary solid tumor composed of leukemic myeloid cells. It is an uncommon tumour usually accompanied by acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We report a case of a 64-year-old woman with a cervical-uterine mass followed by vaginal postmenopausal bleeding. Initially she was treated with supracervical hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy and partial omentectomy and had no systemic sings that could suggest AML. Second postoperative day she developed thrombocytopeni...

Where Spinal Anesthesia is Not the Final Word- Cesarean Section under General Anesthesia in a Primi Gravida with Severe Scoliosis and Type 4 Placenta Previa: A Case Report

Adethen Gunasekaran, MD, DNB, Protiti Chatterjee, MD, Kirthiha Govindaraj, MD, DNB and Jeevasri Calaidrajane, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/10/25

Both neuraxial and general anesthesia present unique challenges to the anesthesiologist when managing a pregnant patient with scoliosis. The type and duration of scoliosis and the Cobb's angle are key determinants of the degree of respiratory compromise. Pregnant women with scoliosis are anticipated to have deformities in the vertebra, which can render subarachnoid or epidural anesthesia technically challenging. The pulmonary complications following scoliosis add to the physiological changes in ...

Rare Case of Uterine Rupture: 29-Week Interstitial Pregnancy

Camille Blouin, MD and Karine Girard, MD, FRCSC

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/10/12

Interstitial pregnancy is an uncommon entity, rarely leading to a live pregnancy. The current literature describes only a few cases of interstitial pregnancy in the third trimester, for which only a few have positive outcomes. We describe here the management of a case of a 29-week interstitial pregnancy leading to uterine rupture, with favorable maternal and fetal outcomes....

Uterine Malformations: Two Cases Report of Incidental Discovery during Emergency Caesarean Sections

Ouattara Adama, Ouédraogo Emmanuel, Kabore Yacouba, Traoré Salah Idriss and Ouédraogo Charlemagne Marie

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/05/31

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....

Adethen Gunasekaran, MD, DNB, Vijayanthi Vijayan, MD, Keerthana Vijayakumar, MD and Naveen Vivek Sakkanan, MD, DNB

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/05/27

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...

Adnexal Torsion and Epiploic Appendigitis in Pregnant Women: Case Report

Oumayma Ben Rejeb, Amal Bayar, Cyrine Chelly, Wessim Elouni and Sassi Boughizane

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...

Uterine Rupture at 17 Weeks of Amenorrhoea in a Septate Uterus: A Desperate Case Report

Ouattara Adama, Ouédraogo Emmanuel, Cissé Maria, Traoré Salah Idriss and Ouédraogo Charlemagne Marie

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/05/13

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....

Post-Partum Amniotic Fluid Embolism with Cardiac Arrest: A Multidisciplinary Success

Camille LAFRANCE, MD and Joalee PAQUETTE, MD, FRCSC

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/04/13

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...

Acute Complete Uterine Inversion in a Non-Pregnant Woman: A Gynaecological Emergency Managed with Vaginal Hysterectomy

E Samuels, M Das and P Hooper

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/02/08

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....
