A 44-year-old nulliparous woman was transferred to a tertiary obstetric hospital for investigation of acute onset abdominal pain. She was at gestation of 32 weeks and 2 days with a history of previous laparoscopic fundal myomectomy. An initial bedside ultrasound demonstrated oligohydramnios. Following an episode of increased pain early the following morning, a formal ultrasound diagnosed a uterine rupture with the fetal arm extending through a uterine rent. An uncomplicated classical caesarean section was performed and the neonate was delivered in good condition but with a bruised and oedematous right arm. The neonate was transferred to the Special Care Nursery for neonatal care. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged home three days following delivery. This is an unusual presentation of uterine rupture following myomectomy where the fetal arm had protruded through the uterine wall.

We report a case of recurrent upper segment uterine rupture in a 31-year-old woman at 32+5/40 weeks of gestation. She had fundal uterine rupture 3 years ago in her first pregnancy at 40 weeks of gestation. There was no history of uterine malformation or prior uterine surgery. However, we noted that she had had three laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis treatment. She was scheduled to have an elective repeat caesarean section at 34+6/40 weeks of gestation in the index pregnancy. Unfortunately, she presented at 32+5/40 weeks with features of acute abdomen and signs of fetal distress. She had a category 1 caesarean section and was found to have fundal uterine rupture at the same site. She had a smooth uneventful recovery following a timely intervention and discharged home on day 5 postoperatively in a good condition with her baby girl.

The aim is to report a case of spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester of pregnancy and to review the literature on the topic. Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus. Relevant English articles were identified without any time or study limitations. The data were aggregated, and a summary statistic was calculated. Results: A 35-year-old gravida 5, para 2 was admitted at our department because of fainting and abdominal pain. The woman had a first-trimester twin pregnancy and a history of two previous cesarean sections (CSs). Suspecting a uterine rupture, an emergency laparotomy was performed. The two sacs were completely removed, and the uterine rupture site was closed with a double-layer suture. The patient was discharged from hospital four days later in good condition. On the basis of this experience, a total of 76 case reports were extracted from PubMed and included in the review. Fifty-three patients out of 76 (69.74%) underwent previous surgery on the uterus. Most women (67.92%) had a CS, and in this group a cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) or a placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder was found to be the etiology in 77.78% of cases. Furthermore, 35.85% of the women had hysterectomy after uterine rupture. Twenty-three patients out of 76 (30.26%) had an unscarred uterus. Of this group, most women presented a uterine anomaly (43.48%). Moreover, 17.39% of these women had a hysterectomy. Conclusion: According to the literature, the current pandemic use of CS explains most cases of first-trimester uterine rupture.

Abstract Background Spontaneous uterine rupture is a severe pregnancy complication. Several risk factors have been described, especially for women with a previous caesarean section.Method We reported two cases of uterine rupture (UR) occurred outside of labour in patients with a history of caesarean section for placenta previa were reports. Results The current study evaluates how a higher hysterotomy, combined with some risk factors, can increase the prevalence of UR in the next pregnancy. Conclusion These cases presentation provide a supplement to over-all knowledge about UR showing that a careful evaluation of risk factors could promote the early UR management and consequently, improve the maternal-fetal outcome.

Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of two children. Anamnestic, clinical, diagnostic and intraoperative findings were analyzed.Purpose. To describe cases of trichobezoars in children : occurrence, diagnostics and treatment.Results. In the first case, a girl, aged 5, often swallowed her own hair after a psychological trauma; and at the age of 15 she complained of hair loss and anemia. In the second case, a boy was chewing and swallowing his own hair for 6 months under the emotional stress. Two weeks before hospitalization he complained of abdominal pain. In both cases, there were no history of intestinal obstruction. At the fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy, foreign bodies were visualized which were diagnosed as trichobezoars. X-ray diagnostics confirmed foreign bodies in both patients. Those bodies had the shape of the stomach and had an inhomogeneous porous structure. The patients were operated: laparotomy, gastrotomy with removal of dense hair formation. Postoperative course was uneventful.Conclusion. Psychological situations provoked in children the obsessive trichotillomania and trichophagia due to which large trichobezoars were formed in the stomach.

One of the causes of congenital incomplete duodenal obstruction is the presence of congenital duodenal web with fenestration. This condition requires a high index of suspicion for an early and accurate diagnosis. We present an unusual presentation of duodenal web in a 6-year-old girl who presented with a 3-year history of cyclical and seasonal vomiting and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of congenital duodenal web with fenestration was made on contrast study and endoscopy and was treated surgically by incision of the web.

Caesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancy (CSEP) is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. We present a 30 year female presented with 8 weeks of amenorrhea. Her obstetric history was G3P2D2. Her B HCG levels were >10,000 IU/L. She had history of previous 2 lower uterine segment Caesarean section. She was referred to our hospital in stage of severe hypovolemic shock related to vaginal bleeding. USG findings were suggestive of death of fetus of about 6 weeks 5 days. Gestational -sac at lower uterine segment Caesarean section scar level. Radiological diagnosis was? Scar pregnancy. On histopathology diagnosed as Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy with area of rupture in anterolateral wall of lower uterine segment and upper cervix. The endometrium was unremarkable. We are presenting this case for its rarity, clinical radiological and histopathological findings. Key words: Scar ectopic pregnancy, Uterine rupture, Gestation, Caesarean section.

Intraperitoneal haemorrhage during pregnancy or postpartum without any history of trauma is termed Spontaneous Haemoperitoneum in Pregnancy (SHiP). This is a rare condition, causing significant morbidity and mortality for the mother and the neonate. We report a case of SHiP in a patient who presented to us at 31 weeks of gestation with right iliac fossa pain, pallor and tachycardia. Radiological investigations revealed intraperitoneal bleeding and a right adnexal haematoma. She was managed conservatively with blood transfusion and supportive care. At 36 weeks of gestation, lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was done and a live baby with good Apgar score was delivered. Per-operatively, she was found to have a bicornuate uterus, placenta percreta at the junction of the horns and a right adnexal haematoma. This case highlights the significance of thorough evaluation of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy in avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention and iatrogenic prematurity. Keywords: Abdominal pain; Caesarean Section; Hemoperitoneum; Placenta accreta; Pregnancy.
