Chromosomal Diseases

Preimplantation diagnosis of inherited and chromosomal diseases allows couples at risk of conceiving a genetically abnormal fetus to avoid the birth of an affected child without the need for a prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion of an affected fetus. For some couples this may be the only option, because they cannot accept termination of pregnancy as a measure of avoiding the birth of an affected child. Even for those who accept prenatal diagnosis, repeated termination of pregnancy forces them to look for other options to control the outcome of their pregnancies from the very outset. This may be achieved by genetic analysis of oocytes or cleaving embryos, which opens a new prospect for ‘prepregnancy’ genetic diagnosis. As will be shown, such an approach will also be a useful addition to assisted reproduction technologies, at least for in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients of advanced maternal age.

Life Threatening

Intravaginal misoprostol, a synthetic PGE1 analogue, has largely replaced all other techniques for pregnancy termination in II trimester, because of its successful results. Incidence of II trimester pregnancy termination has also increased in the present days, because of prenatal diagnosis of pregnancies with serious fetal abnormalities like cardiovascular and skeletal malformations. But there are serious and life threatening complications reported with the use of intravaginal misoprostol. Here we are reporting a case of complete avulsion of cervix from lower part of the uterus, with the use of intravaginal misoprostol, for II trimester termination of pregnancy. So, clinicians dealing with II trimester termination of pregnancy should be aware of such complications.
