Spontaneous rupture of the uterine artery is a rare cause of hemoperitoneum during pregnancy. This is a life-threatening condition associated with maternal and fetal mortality. We describe a case of spontaneous rupture of the left uterine artery in a 32-year-old healthy pregnant woman with an uneventful pregnancy.

Specific Symptoms

Purpose. Pheochromocytoma in association with pregnancy is a very rare, without specific symptoms, life-threatening condition, increasing both maternal and fetal mortality up to 50%. The present paper illustrates the case of a pregnant woman, diagnosed with pheochromocytoma, aiming to demonstrate and discuss the difficulties that arouse during the diagnosis and the problems concerning the treatment.Patient. A 34-year-old woman, in the 9th week of pregnancy, complained for headache, sweating, and a feeling of heavy weight on the right renal area. A tumor of 10 cm diameter at the site of the right adrenal was found. Twenty-four-hour urine catecholamine and VMA excretion levels were well raised.Results. Multidisciplinary approach treated the patient conservatively. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed after the 14th week of pregnancy at the completion of organogenesis. Neither postoperative complications occurred nor hypertension relapse was recorded. The fetus was delivered without complications at the 36th week.Conclusions. There are no consensus and guidelines for treating pheochromocytoma during pregnancy, especially when it is diagnosed in the first trimester. The week of pregnancy and a multidisciplinary approach will determine whether the pregnancy should be continued or not, as well as the time and the approach of surgical treatment.

Croup (laryngotracheitis) is frequently encountered in the emergency department in a young child presenting with stridor. We describe a rare case of croup secondary to SARS-CoV-2 in an 18-month-old child who presented with stridor and respiratory distress and required urgent intubation. Subsequently, the child developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). The child was monitored in paediatric intensive care unit. We would like to highlight that COVID-19 croup in children may be an indicator for MIS-C, and close monitoring is warranted as MIS-C is a life-threatening condition. Our limited experience suggests that COVID-19 croup especially if associated with MIS-C has an underlying more severe pathology and may require prolonged treatment in comparison with the typical croup or even COVID-19 croup. It is important to recognise this clinical entity during a time when most countries are in a third wave of COVID-19 pandemic.

Spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels during pregnancy is a life-threatening condition though, it has a rare occurrence. This case report discusses about a 32-year-old lady at 16 weeks of gestation presented with spontaneous rupture of uterine artery and she was managed with emergency laparotomy with suturing of ruptured artery. She had delivered a healthy baby after 37 weeks of gestation by a caesarean section due to pregnancy induced hypertension at 36 weeks of gestation.

Pyometra is a condition characterized by the accumulation of pus within the uterine cavity that usually develops in elderly women . Spontaneous rupture of pyometra causing diffuse peritonitis is very rare.Unless recognized in time it can be a life threatening condition. The aim of this article is to report a case of spontaneous rupture of pyometra who was admitted in our hospital as surgical emergency and was successfully treated by surgery.

Chronic ectopic pregnancy is a life threatening condition which is challenging to diagnose, occurs when trophoblastic tissue invades implanted structure causing a protracted destruction at site of attachment, leads to repeated minor bleeding. And with time a haematocele is formed, leading to inflammatory reaction and chronic pelvic adhesions which resemble complex pelvic mass1. Here 25 year old female presented with amenorrhea for 5 weeks with pain in abdomen and was diagnosed to have chronic ectopic pregnancy on MRI.

Fetal midgut volvulus is an extremely rare life threatening condition with poor prognosis. It often remains undiagnosed on antenatal ultrasound and manifest as intestinal obstruction in both antenatal and post natal period. Following is the case report of intrauterine midgut volvulus causing proximal obstruction of stomach and duodenum. The infant survived postnatally after caesarean section delivery with prompt and appropriate surgical intervention. Twisting of bowel loops around the mesenteric vessels suggestive of whirpool sign was the most signicant clue leading to the diagnosis of volvulus.

Spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate intervention. The rupture usually leads to sudden death as a result of hemopericardium or hemothorax. The underlying histopathological condition in the cases described so far was mostly an atheromatous plaque. Some other rare underlying conditions were also described. We report a case of cystic medial necrosis Erdheim Gsell as a reason for fatal spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta.

Spinal surgery–associated rhabdomyolysis, although rare, is a life-threatening condition. Presented here is the case of a middle-aged, overweight man who underwent posterior lumbar surgery because of pain and neurogenic claudication. His postoperative course was complicated by the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis. Despite adequate treatment, acute renal failure developed as a sequela. His condition was grave enough to require the administration of intermittent hemodialysis. After a prolonged hospitalization and 5 sessions of hemodialysis, the patient achieved a full recovery. In view of the fact that rhabdomyolysis-induced acute renal failure is associated with a mortality rate of 20–50%, the outcome was favorable.

Diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy is a rare but potential life-threatening condition for the mother and the fetus. It tends to occur latter in pregnancy and is more common in patients with pregestational diabetes. Obstetricians should be aware of the events that can trigger diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy. Prompt recognition and aggressive treatment of this condition are essential in order to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity. The authors present a case of a pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes with a poor surveillance of pregnancy and noncompliance to treatment that develops severe diabetic ketoacidosis at 34 weeks of gestation.
