Introduction Implantation of a gestational sac in a previous Caesarean section scar of the lower uterine segment is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Case report We report a case of Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy in a 25-year-old female, diagnosed by ultrasonography and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. We present the clinical details, imaging findings, and management of the patient. Discussion Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and ultrasonography is the modality of choice. Ultrasonography features of scar ectopic pregnancy include empty uterus and cervix with normal endometrium and endocervical canal, gestational sac (with embryo and/or yolk sac) in the anterior part of the lower uterine segment in the region of the Caesarean scar with a thin myometrial layer between the bladder wall and gestational sac. Magnetic resonance imaging may be used as an adjunct imaging modality in cases with inconclusive or equivocal sonographic findings. Termination of pregnancy in the first trimester should be considered and treatment options should be individualized as there is no universal agreement on the best or most preferred treatment modality. Conclusion Awareness of specific ultrasound features of scar ectopic pregnancy is crucial for early recognition, correct diagnosis, and initiating prompt management to prevent complications.

Abstract Although cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy continues to be the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy, its incidence is increasing because of the worldwide increase in the number of cesarean deliveries. If the diagnosis is delayed, there is a high risk of severe hemorrhage and death, whereas early diagnosis can minimize the complications associated with the condition. Here, we report a case in which invasion of the bladder wall was identified by magnetic resonance imaging.

The global incidence of invasive meningococcal disease due to serogroup W (MenW) has risen over the last decade. The following case emphasises the atypical features of MenW meningococcaemia, which included myocarditis, a rare but important complication. It also highlights the potential novel role that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can provide in the diagnosis of MenW myocarditis. Complications of these infections can be avoided with early recognition and susceptibility testing to prevent the use of inappropriate antibiotics and treatment failure.

Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.
