The patient, 32 years old, came to the author at the end of May with suspicion of some abdominal tumor. She has been married for 6 years, was not pregnant. Since the end of last year, she began to suffer from bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen. On examination, the patient turned out to be a well-fed woman. In the abdomen, a swelling is felt that goes 3 fingers above the navel and resembles a pregnant uterus when examined; dorsum of the fetus to the right, small parts to the left. The heartbeat could be heard only for a very short time, to the right of the navel, and upon repeated auscultation, it was not heard at all. The vaginal part is soft and loosened. Resistance is felt in the anterior and posterior fornix, which is softer than the fetal head. Diagnosis: pregnancy, complicated by presentation of the child's place or endometritis.

Background: Ectopic pregnancies occur predominantly in the fallopian tubes or ovaries. Very rarely, the distal part of the greater omentum may have close contact to the fallopian tubes and implantation of the embryo may occur in this part of the greater omentum. In the absence of signs of pregnancy in the uterus or the fallopian tubes, the greater omentum has to be closely examined for ectopic pregnancy. Case Presentation: A 22-year-old woman in her 4th week of pregnancy presents with spotting and severe pain in the right lower abdomen with a history of 2 cesarean sections. The sonographic examination showed a normal uterus with a thin endometrial line. The uterine cavity did not present with any signs of a gestational sac. A great amount of free fluid in the Douglas cavity suspicious of a hemoperitoneum. ßhCG-values in serum was highly elevated up to 16749 mU/ml and confirmed the suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, during which a blood clot reaching from the right lower abdomen to the greater omentum was detected. After removing the blood clot, a normal-sized uterus with regular ovaries and no signs of a pregnancy in the fallopian tubes were seen. However, an abdominal adhesion in the right upper part of the omentum close to the liver with bleeding was seen. While examining the abdominal cavity for the cause of bleeding, a small cystic lesion adherent to the greater omentum – close the offspring from the colon – representing an ectopic pregnancy became apparent. A partial omentectomy of 9,5 cm x 5,5 cm x 2,5 cm was performed with the finding of trophoblast and embryoblast implantated in the infrahepatic part of the greater omentum. Conclusion: In cases of ectopic pregnancy with hemoperitoneum, special care has to be taken examining not only the fallopian tubes or ovaries but also the greater omentum, which may harbour an implanted trophoblast and embryoblast – even in the upper part directly beneath the liver – as presented in this case. In cases of ruptured ectopic pregnancy of the greater omentum, the cases may be dealt with laparoscopic partial omentectomy if the case is early detected.

A 22-year-old woman with a left ovarian cyst, which caused her considerable pain, considering herself to be 2 months pregnant, turned to Dr. Murphy for advice; he did not find a reason for the immediate production of the operation. After a short time, the patient suddenly developed a collapse, a liquid was felt in the abdomen. Murphy immediately made a cut in the abdomen with chloroform, at which up to 20 ounces of liquid blood had escaped from the last day, and rinsed the peritoneal cavity with boron solution. The uterus turned out to be enlarged, the tubes and ovaries were healthy, but near the right ovary, a bleeding place was found in the ruptured pseudo-membrane, by which the ovary was attached to the Douglas space. When the pregnant uterus was lifted up, the membrane ruptured and gave profuse bleeding, probably not long before the operation. After bandaging the bleeding membrane, the operation is over; recovery is smooth. Pregnancy continued and the patient was destroyed in time by a living child.

The disease begins with headaches lasting 2 days, then colicky pains in the abdomen come to the fore, with painful sensations on palpation in the Colon descendens area. Opіy only slightly and for a short time reduces pain and as a result of this rinsing of the intestines is impossible. Acceptance 01. Ricini induces vomiting. Warm poultices relieve colicky pain only when they are applied. As soon as it cools, the pain intensifies. This Status continues from September 7 to September 15, when a clearly flattened defecation appeared. Intestinal stenosis is diagnosed. Despite the use of narcotic drugs, colicky pains are so excruciating that the child rushes about in bed and screams good obscenities. The new study shows increased sensitivity in the left groin area, in the right groin area the pain is much less. Due to this edge of intestinal stenosis, an inflammatory process of the peritoneum of this space is assumed. Examination under anesthesia showed: an abscess in the left posterior fornix, which protrudes more posteriorly and presses the anterior wall of the recti into the intestinal lumen. Trial puncture into the posterior fornix. A large amount of green pus is erupting. The trocar tube is left in the abscess opening. Warm baths and warm flaxseed poultices are prescribed. Colicky pain after puncture is significantly reduced; appetite appeared. On September 20, pains again come as a result of stagnation of expiration. September 23 secondary punctuation. Significant relief of all symptoms. In the next days, the puncture site again overgrown and the pains resumed, but on September 27. during defecation, a mass of pus came out. Since then, the patient began to slowly recover. On October 15, pus came out of the last cut. The next day the temperature dropped to 36.5 . In 3 months after the onset of the disease, the patient began to attend school.

Abstract Background Platypnoea–orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is an uncommon condition characterized by dyspnoea and arterial desaturation in the standing or sitting position that improves in the supine position. Case summary We report two cases of POS caused by an atrial septal defect (ASD) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Both cases reported a recent decrease in body weight of more than 10 kg in a short time period. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) with agitated saline bubble study revealed and a large amount of contrast bubble through the ASD (Patient 1) or the PFO (Patient 2) from the right atrium to the left atrium in the sitting position. Both patients were diagnosed by the finding of positional dyspnoea and the results of TOE using agitated saline bubble contrast. Discussion Taken together, their presentations suggest that weight loss in a short time period could be a pathogenic factor for POS.

Heterotopic pregnancy describes the occurrence of two or more pregnancies in different implantation sites simultaneously, intrauterine pregnancy coexists withectopic pregnancies (ampullary in 80%). A 27-year-old women (P ,L1) presented to the emergency department with a complaint of sudden onset of right-sided lower abdominal pain with 1+1 vaginal bleeding and had a short period of Amenorrhea. Ultrasonography demonstrated three intrauterine gestational sacwith foetal pole noted but Cardiac activity was absent . The right adnexa showed a heteroechoic area andmoderate amount of free uid was present in the lower abdominal cavity. Ectopic pregnancy was disturbed. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia. Haemoperitoneum was found with a ruptured righttubal ectopic pregnancy as well. Both the ovaries appeared normaland a corpus luteal cyst was presentin right ovary. Right sided salpingectomy was performed with removal of the ectopic mass,heamostasis secured ,on table blood transfusion had been given.Suction evacuation had also been performed by manual vacuum aspirationon same sitting.Both the specimen send for histopathology. Histology conrmedGestational sac suggestive of an intra uterine pregnancy coexists with ectopic pregnancy. Left tube and both ovaries were found healthy. Episodes of PID also have a strong correlation with occurrence of ectopic gestation. Once diagnosis of heterotrophic pregnancy has been made the management is essentially surgical.

Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, causing a great diagnostic challenge. We report a case of ovarian pregnancy in a 42-year-old woman, in whom MRI successfully demonstrated the implantation in the ovary. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed an echogenic mass in the right ovary but failed to demonstrate tubal pregnancy. T2-weighted MR images disclosed a gestational sac structure in the right ovary, which exhibited heterogeneous high intensity intermingled with punctate foci of distinct low intensity. MRI may be a useful tool for diagnosing ovarian pregnancy, by demonstrating a gestational sac in the ovary.

ABSTRACT Necrotizing fasciitis is a life threatening condition that can be quickly spread through the flesh surrounding the muscle. The disease can be polymicrobial, or caused by group A beta hemolytic Streptococci, or by Clostridium spp. We present a case of a 7 years old girl, which was hospitalized in Children Infectious Diseases Department in a 7th day of chickenpox (hematic crusts all over the body), high fever, asthenia, vomiting, oligoanuria, and tumefaction, pain and functio lessa in the right thigh. In a very short time in the right thigh swelling, edema and congestion have increased gradually, and in the third highest middle thigh the ecchymotic areas appeared evolving towards bubbles and blisters which included the right thigh and calf. After excluding the diagnosis of thrombophlebitis was raised suspicion of necrotizing fasciitis. CT pelvic scan evidenced pelvic asymmetry by maximus and medium right gluteal muscles swelling with important inflammatory infiltrate extended laterally in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. In blood culture was isolated Eggerthella lenta, and from throat swab was isolated group A Streptococci. Treatment consists of a combination of antibiotics associated with intravenous immunoglobulin administration. Despite medical treatment evolution worsened and required transfer in a pediatric surgery department where emergent surgical debridement associated with intensive antibiotic therapy was done. After this intervention evolution was slowly favorable without major limb dysfunction. Polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis is a severe disease, which if recognized early can have a favorable outcome.
