Glanzmann thrombasthenia is a rare autosomal recessive haemorrhagic disorder. The risks of miscarriage, antepartum and postpartum haemorrhage, and neonatal complications are all increased in individuals presenting with the disease in pregnancy. Some individuals may develop antibodies to platelet glycoproteins; the presence of these antibodies is a rare cause of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and potential intracranial haemorrhage. Multidisciplinary care is paramount for ensuring optimal fetal and maternal outcomes in such cases. We report a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia secondary to maternal Glanzmann thrombasthenia in pregnancy.

We describe 2 surgical cases of acute aortic type A dissection during pregnancy in women with Marfan syndrome. Both of them underwent emergency aortic root replacement under deep hypothermia; one patient was in her 21st week of pregnancy and the other was treated 1 day after a normal delivery. The patients experienced fair postoperative courses, but intrauterine fetus death was confirmed in the first case.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a rare condition reported in pregnancy. We review a case of a woman presenting for pregnancy care with active disease and review the literature on this condition. This case raises several important issues with regard to managing complex medical diseases such as leukaemia in pregnant women, including the role of multidisciplinary care.

We report the case of a 44-year-old presenting with breathlessness in her second trimester of pregnancy diagnosed with pulmonary diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) which was further complicated by a placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder. In pregnancy, she was treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin and prednisolone, which was associated with neutropenic sepsis requiring admissions to the intensive care unit with respiratory compromise. She safely delivered an infant at 31 weeks but required a hysterectomy at the time for PAS and seven days ventilation on the intensive care unit post-operatively. It is the first case report of DLBCL and PAS in pregnancy.

AbstractIntroduction:A Pott's puffy tumour is a subperiosteal abscess and osteomyelitis of the frontal bone secondary to frontal sinusitis. Intracranial complications are seen in approximately 40 per cent of cases and are potentially life-threatening; such complications have not previously been reported in pregnancy.Case report:A 21-year-old woman at 35 weeks' gestation presented with a history of frontal headaches and swelling, periorbital oedema, pain and chemosis. Imaging confirmed Pott's puffy tumour with right-sided epidural empyema and periorbital cellulitis. A multidisciplinary team was involved in the patient's management. Intravenous antibiotics were commenced and initial percutaneous drainage through the frontal sinus skin was performed, followed by endoscopic sinus drainage. A caesarean section was performed 3 days later. Complete resolution of the sinus and intracranial collections was noted on imaging performed six weeks later.Conclusion:This case highlights the challenges of managing rare intracranial complications of sinusitis in pregnancy, and the importance of multidisciplinary care.

Although rare, increasing numbers of women with pacemakers are becoming pregnant. We describe the complications of a woman with arrhythmia and a pacemaker for complete heart block experienced before, during, between and after her pregnancies. We illustrate the benefits of multidisciplinary care, good communication and regular assessment in a stable, but complex woman.
