Conjoined twins are a rare phenomenon, occurring in 1% of monochorionic twin gestation, with an incidence of 1 : 50 000 to 1 : 100 000. Many conjoined twins have abnormalities incompatible with life, so early prenatal diagnosis is very important for optimal management of both pregnancy and delivery. We report a case of dicephalus parapagus conjoined twins, sharing a single heart, diagnosed at 12 weeks’ gestation. With early ultrasound diagnosis, we were able to provide appropriate and timely prenatal counseling to the family.

Background & Objectives: Ectopic pregnancy is one of the common medical emergencies encountered in the clinical practice. Confirmation of diagnosis is usually done by urine pregnancy test and transabdominal sonography. Thus, the present study is carried out to determine the role of transabdominal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy by comparing the ultrasonography findings with that of operative and histopathology and to evaluate clinical profile of the women with confirmed ectopic pregnancy. Materials & Methods: Transabdominal ultrasound record of patients referred for first trimester ultrasound, from January 2008 to December 2015, at radiology department of Kist medial college teaching hospital were reviewed to identify patients with ectopic pregnancy. Among these patients those who underwent surgery and histopathology confirmed ectopic pregnancies were identified and their medical records were retrieved. Ultrasound and clinical profile were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: There were 19 patients with ultrasound diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy among 1480 first trimester ultrasound record. Among these patients, ectopic pregnancy was confirmed on 18 patients. Ultrasound diagnosis included adnexal mass with pelvic fluid in 15 (83.3%) patients and pelvic fluid without adnexal mass in 4 (16.7%) patients. The study result revealed that sensitivity of transabdominal ultrasonography was 100% and specificity was 99.9%. Positive predictive value and negative predictive value of transabdominal ultrasonography was 94% and 100%.Conclusion: The transabdominal ultrasound accurately diagnose ruptured ectopic pregnancy.JCMS Nepal. 2016;12(1):1-4.

Early Screening

Background: GDM cases go unidentified with inadequate screening methods in first trimester which in turn increases the maternal and neonatal morbidity which is preventable. The purpose of the study was to find out a cut off level for HbA1c and RBS at first trimester for screening Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods: Observational study on pregnant women in a tertiary care teaching institution. Early screening with HbA1c and RBS at booking visit and followed up to second trimester GTT at 24-28 weeks. Pregnant women were divided into 2 groups based on GTT results. Pregnant women with overt diabetes and multiple pregnancy were not included in the study.Results: Out of the 151 subjects, 76 cases were diagnosed with GDM while the other 75 were found to be non-GDM by following the 75g GTT approved by IADPSG. According to our study optimal cut-off for HbA1C was found to be 5.496±0.48 %, as it gives a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 55.3%. Optimal cut-off for RBS was found to be 112±0.77 mg/dl, as it gives a sensitivity of 35.55 and specificity of 94.7%.Conclusions: Glyco Hb A1c and RBS can be used as screening tool for the diagnosis of GDM.  The likelihood of having GDM at a cutoff of Glyco HbA1c 5.5% is 1.8 times and RBS level 112mg/dl is 7 times in pregnant women.
