Fetal gallstones are rare incidental findings on ultrasound during pregnancy. We describe a newborn girl with gallstones that was born to a mother who had COVID-19 infection during her last trimester. The baby remained asymptomatic, and the stones resolved spontaneously without any treatment or complications within six weeks of birth. Several conditions predispose to fetal gallstones, and it is unclear if the recent maternal COVID-19 infection had any role in the occurrence of these abnormalities or was merely coincidental. This is the first case describing an association of fetal gallstones with a COVID-19 infection in pregnancy.

Proteus syndrome is a rare, multi-system, genetic syndrome characterised by atypical and excessive growth of skeletal tissue. Clinical presentations include abnormal musculoskeletal growth and cutaneous lesions. Due to its rarity, there have been a limited number of published case reports of Proteus syndrome. This is the first case report on the management of Proteus syndrome in pregnancy. We present the case of a pregnant woman with Proteus syndrome in her first pregnancy in a large teaching hospital and discuss the considerations and challenges faced in her antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care.

Importance: Dyspnoea and hypoxia in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic may be due to causes other than SARS Co-V-2 infection which should not be ignored. Shared decision-making regarding early delivery is paramount. Objective: To highlight and discuss the differential diagnoses of dyspnoea and hypoxia in pregnant women and to discuss the risks versus benefit of delivery for maternal compromise. Design, setting and participants: Case series of two pregnant women who presented with dyspnoea and hypoxia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Two pregnant women presented with dyspnoea and hypoxia. The first case had COVID-19 infection in the 3rd trimester. The second case had an exacerbation of asthma without concurrent COVID-19. Only the first case required intubation and delivery. Both recovered and were discharged home. Conclusion and relevance: Our two cases highlight the importance of making the correct diagnosis and timely decision-making to consider if delivery for maternal compromise is warranted. Whilst COVID-19 is a current healthcare concern other differential diagnoses must still be considered when pregnant women present with dyspnoea and hypoxia.

AbstractChronic rheumatic heart disease is still the leading cause of heart disease complicating pregnancy in the developing countries. The physiologic changes in pregnancy and stress induced by the increase in cardiac output can cause asymptomatic patients with mitral stenosis to decompensate, especially in the third trimester. Severity of mitral stenosis is reflected by the decrease in the valve area and increase in the right ventricular systolic pressures (RVSPs). Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is two to five times more common in the postpartum period, and the risk is high with cesarean delivery. Pulmonary embolism in pregnancy can cause severe maternal morbidity and mortality. We describe two cases of severe mitral stenosis complicating pregnancy with grossly elevated RVSP. The first case is the successful management of a second gravida, presenting with severe mitral stenosis with RVSP 80 mm Hg, and the second, a fatal case of a 26-year-old para 1, live 1, delivered by cesarean section, presenting with massive fatal pulmonary embolism on 13th postoperative day (POD) with RVSP 90 mm Hg. A multidisciplinary approach involving the cardiologist, obstetrician, and obstetric anesthesiologist is crucial for management of severe mitral stenosis complicating pregnancy, to decrease the maternal morbidity and mortality during peripartum period.

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.

Leprosy is a complex disease which will affect in many aspects of the patient. In dr. Soetomo hospital, there were two cases of pregnancy with leprosy and Lucio’s phenomenon from 2014 until 2018. Both had been receiving multidrug therapy (MDT) before pregnancy but stopped due to lack of compliance. First case was resulted with term. Second case was admitted with worse condition than the first case, fetal growth restriction and ended with preterm delivery probably because the severity of the case. Lucio’s phenomenon incidence is increased in pregnancy due to immunodeficient condition. This serial case report shows that the initial diagnosis and optimum treatment of leprosy is very important especially in women of child-bearing age.

Abstract Background The duodenum is a common site for diverticulum formation. Most of the duodenal diverticula are asymptomatic, incidental findings. Perforation is a rare but potentially lethal complication of duodenal diverticular disease. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for perforated duodenal diverticula. In recent years, a few cases were successfully managed either conservatively or with endoscopy. Case presentation We present two cases of female patients treated in our department for duodenal diverticulum perforation. The first case was treated surgically with a diverticulectomy. The second case was managed conservatively with bowel rest and intravenous antibiotics. Both patients had an uncomplicated postoperative course and were discharged home. Conclusions Both surgical and conservative treatments are viable options for a perforated duodenal diverticulum in selected patients. Patients with a contained duodenal diverticular perforation can be managed conservatively at the outset. Possibly, the introduction of a classification system for duodenal diverticulum perforation may help clinicians in making essential therapeutic decisions.
