Literature regarding cases of pregnant patients with hereditary spastic paraparesis (Strumpell-Lorrain disease) and those treated by intrathecal baclofen therapy is sparse. There are currently no specific guidelines to manage pregnancy and delivery in these patients. A 42-year-old woman presented to our clinic with hereditary spastic paraparesis and was treated with intrathecal baclofen for spasticity. She conceived twice and delivered successfully by caesarean section under subarachnoid anaesthesia. The two pregnancies had favourable outcomes with no increase in spasticity and no problems encountered with the intrathecal device. In this report, we discuss the evolution of both pregnancies and the anaesthetic management for deliveries in the presence of an intrathecal catheter. Keywords: Caesarean section; case report; hereditary spastic paraparesis; intrathecal baclofen; pregnancy.

Abstract Achondroplasia is a common form of dwarfism occurring in one out of 25,000 of live births. These patients present many problems during pregnancy and at the time of the delivery. The anaesthetist may also face several difficulties for both general and regional anaesthesia. The aim of this case report is to discuss various obstetric and anaesthetic considerations in such patients and ways to manage the difficulties. A 29-year-old woman expecting her first child, with achondroplasia —height of just 3’2’’ (98 centimetres) — at 31 weeks of gestation, presented to our OPD for antenatal visit on May 15, 2018. Her successful elective lower segment caesarean section was performed on June 25, 2018 at 37 weeks in view of contracted pelvis under general anaesthesia. Continuous...

Fibroids are the commonest benign neoplasm of the uterus and have long been implicated as a cause of complication during pregnancy and delivery. Fibroids arising from uterine cervix constitute only less than 2% of all fibroids and a very large cervical fibroid is even rarer1·2·3. This is case report of pregnancy with a huge cervical fibroid that necessitated caesarean section delivery. This unusually large fibroid (20 x 17 x 16 cm) was grown from the cervix that pushed up the uterine body upward. During initial caesarean operation the surgical team could not ascertain about the origin of the mass and closed the abdomen without remony the man. Subsequent laparotomy three months after caesarean section finally confirmed the diagnosis of the huge cervical fibroid. It was dissected out from the surrounding adhesion followed by end-to-end anastomosis of the gap between uterus and cervix. The postoperative period was uneventful with smooth recovery. The patient was followed up couple of times after discharge and reported to be well with return of her normal menstrual and reproductive function.

Herpes simplex virus is one the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases. This infection is common inreproductive age women and can cause severe sequealae for fetus and neonates because this virus can be transmittedto the fetus during pregnancy and the newborn. Infection of Herpes simplex can occurs as first or primary infectionand recurrent infection. Most of the case is asymptomatic. Rarely during intrauterine, the risk of transmission ofmaternal-fetal can be increased during the last trimester of pregnancy and delivery. Based on type of infection,primary or recurrent, performing a treatment with antiviral drugs or caesarean section delivery can decrease the riskof neonatal infection

Histologic examination was performed on uterine biopsy samples of irregular cystic masses noted during caesarean section of a 2-year-old female Boer goat. Histopathologic examination revealed multifocal erosions of the superficial epithelium and multifocal infiltration of the endometrium by widely scattered viable and degenerate neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells admixed with mild amounts of cellular debris and hemorrhage. The endometrium was markedly expanded by many irregular cystic and hyperplastic glands. This is the first case report of endometritis and cystic endometrial hyperplasia in a goat in North America.
