Ethacridine Lactate

Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare variant of generalized pustular psoriasis that occurs during pregnancy or is triggered by pregnancy, often in association with hypocalcemia. This condition is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We report a 29-year-old pregnant woman who presented to hospital at the gestational age of 20 weeks with widespread erythema covered with pustules that coalesced to form lakes of pus. She did not respond to corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or phototherapy. Finally, intra-amniotic injection of ethacridine lactate was administered to terminate the pregnancy, and the patient showed complete recovery in 3 months. Insight from this case report may facilitate optimal management of this relatively rare entity.

First Case

Pediatric pelvic osteomyelitis is a rare entity. The diagnosis is frequently delayed due to difficulty in confirming the diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of Pseudomonas pelvic osteomyelitis in a previously healthy adolescent boy. The diagnosis was made radiographically and confirmed by culture. The patient was treated with Levofloxacin and Gentamicin resulting in a complete recovery.

Asian Child

Entomophthoromycosis is a rare entity. We hereby report a case of entomophthoromycosis in a three-year-old Asian child who presented with a painless, nontender, rapidly increasing large swelling on the thigh of six months duration, which was initially misdiagnosed as a soft tissue tumor and resected. The cause of misleading diagnosis was rapid growth of the lesion in a short duration of time, indicating the possibility of a tumor. Histopathological examination revealed an inflammatory lesion with aseptate fungal hyphae and the characteristic Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon. Microbiological examination identified the fungus as Basidiobolus ranarum. Complete excision of the lesion followed by antifungal therapy was associated with complete recovery. Entomophthoromycosis should be considered early when children from endemic areas present with unusual, rapid-growing lesions of the subcutaneous region. In order to emphasize tumor-like presentation of zygomycosis, we are presenting this case.

AbstractRenal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare and usually asymptomatic; ∼ 90% of them are unilateral. Once diagnosed during pregnancy, they may rupture, presenting a high maternal-fetal risk. The present study reports the case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman with a 30-week gestational age and a ruptured unilateral RAA.

Vaginal Sarcoma is an extremely rare tumour in pregnancy. Authors are presenting a case report of a pregnant woman who presented with vaginal mass and urinary retention at 32 weeks of gestational age. USG confirmed a live baby with possibility of cervical fibroid. Before further investigations for diagnosis of the mass her emergency LSCS has to be done. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry then confirmed sarcoma.

In this article, we report a case of hypertrophic lichen planus transforming into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in a 24-year-old Indian woman at 34 weeks of gestational age. We hypothesize that immunologic alterations during pregnancy could transform a long-standing hypertrophic lichen planus into cutaneous neoplasm.

Complex Procedure

This report describes a therapeutic alternative for correction of severe mitral stenosis causing high-response atrial fibrillation, and consequent syncope in a woman at 8 weeks gestational age. A percutaneous valvuloplasty attempt failed, because the transseptal puncture was not possible, and a definitive resolution was achieved by transapical valvuloplasty, via left thoracotomy through an inframammary incision, with direct access to the mitral valve. Since this was an original and complex procedure, this case is of relevant importance in the treatment of severe mitral stenosis in patients whose conditions render a conventional procedure impossible.

Rare Entity

Neonatal appendicitis is a rare entity, with a mortality rate that has decreased in past decades but remained high. Of cases reported in the literature, more than 50% occur in preterm neonates, and none have been diagnosed preoperatively. Here, we report the case of a female infant of 27-4/7 weeks’ gestational age, who presented with perforated appendicitis on day of life (DOL) 30. She was thought to have medically refractory necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), but was found, instead, to have perforated appendicitis during an exploratory laparotomy. A thorough literature search indicates she is the second youngest neonate to survive perforated appendicitis to date.

Biophysical Profile

Numerous symptoms and complications of COVID-19 include pneumothorax as a rare but potentially-lethal condition. The present case report involved a pregnant woman with COVID-19 presenting with pneumothorax. A 30-year-old pregnant woman with COVID-19 and a gestational age of 32 weeks presented to our hospital with dyspnea, coughs and fever. The rales initially heard in both lungs continued to be heard only in the left lung after 24 hours. Pneumothorax was confirmed through radiology. The emergency cesarean section performed to avoid the potential detrimental effects of the infection on the fetus caused no breathing episodes in the biophysical profile. The patient recovered postpartum without complications and both the mother and the newborn were discharged 12 days later. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare complication in COVID-19 pregnant patients that can emerge at any stage of the disease.

Cardiac Manifestations

Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformations (VGAMs) are severe and rare congenital brain vasculature anomalies, which causes high mortality and morbidity in fetuses, neonates, and infants. It can be identified in the pregnancy period with fetal echocardiography. We report a case of VGAMs with severe cardiac manifestations in the fetus of a pregnant woman at the 28th week of gestational age.
