In Pregnancy

Ovarian cysts are frequently encountered during pregnancy due to the use of routine prenatal ultrasound. Most of them are benign but in some cases, complications can occur such as torsion, rupture and malignant change. In pregnancy risk of torsion increases 5-fold. It carries significant risk to a pregnant woman and her intrauterine foetus. Here we are reporting a 30-year-old female G3 P1+1L2 with 15 weeks of gestation who presented to antenatal OPD with complain of dull aching abdominal pain for 1 month and nausea and vomiting for 5 days. On ultrasound bilateral ovarian cysts were found, with one of the cyst with multiple septations. She underwent laparotomy, a right sided twisted ovarian cyst was found for which salpingoophrectomy was done. Left sided cyst was simple where cystectomy was done. Her histopathology report showed a bilateral benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy male baby at term. Ovarian cyst diagnosed in pregnancy can be followed up with serial ultrasound but if associated with complication such as torsion then urgent surgical intervention has to be done.

Ovarian cysts, also known as ovarian masses or adnexal masses are fluid filled sacs or pockets in an ovary or on its surface. These are found incidentally in asymptomatic women. Ovarian cysts are considered large in size when they are over 5 cm and giant when they are over 15 cm. Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical problem encountered during pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with various anatomic and physiologic changes that may disguise and delay the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Antibiotic treatment does not always improve the outcome and emergency intervention is required. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention is mandatory for the eventful outcome of pregnancy. Here we present a case of a primigravida patient with a large ovarian cyst mimicking acute appendicitis.

Corpus Luteum Cyst

Haemorrhage in an ovarian cyst is very common. These cyst are known as haemorrhagic ovarian cysts (HOCs).Most of the cyst disappears spontaneously, but certain cyst requires surgical intervention. HOCs are formed because of occurrence of bleeding into a follicular or corpus luteum cyst. Allopathic system of medicines used various hormonal pills for its management which may have adverse drug reactions. Homoeopathic medicines are very helpful to manage such conditions. This article is about a case of 27 years old female who was suffering from haemorrhagic cyst. Homoeopathic medicine was given on the basis of totality of symptoms and patient cured within three months of treatment. Patient’s consent has been taken for the publication of this case report.

A prospective study conducted at Lady Willingdon Hospital LHR over two years for prevalence & age distribution of ovarian cyst. According to study 85% ovarian cyst were benign, 13 % cyst were malignant while 2% were borderline malignant. The commonest histopathological type was serous cystadenoma. Only age was not the determining factor for the type of the ovarian cyst.

Case report of prenatal diagnosis of bilateral complicated ovarian cysts of the fetus at 34 weeks of pregnancy is presented. The particularity of this case is that one ovarian cyst in the fetus was complicated by intrauterine torsion, which required surgical treatment after birth. In the cavity of the second cyst, hemorrhage occurred with spontaneous regression, which did not require surgical intervention.

Background. Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is uncommon. The condition is associated with significant maternal and fetal mortality. The delay in diagnosis is due to nonspecific symptoms and a disinclination to carry out radiologic investigations in pregnancy.Case. A 39-year-old lady at 32 weeks of gestation presented with abdominal pain and nausea. Her symptoms worsened during admission. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed dilated small bowel loops suggestive of intestinal obstruction. She eventually underwent a laparotomy as conservative measures failed.Conclusion. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to diagnose intestinal obstruction in pregnancy. Prompt diagnosis should be made and the appropriate treatment instituted. Surgical intervention should be performed if necessary as further delay only results in increased morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT We present an unprecedented case of torsion of a large ovarian cyst following colonoscopy. A 43-year-old female was found to have a 20 × 13 × 19 cm pelviabdominal mass possibly arising from the right ovary. Endoscopic evaluation was performed prior to planned resection of the ovarian mass. The patient experienced progressive lower abdominal pain after the procedure with a computed topography finding of torsion. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy with intra-operative frozen section and omentectomy. Final histology revealed features of benign serous cystadenoma with extensive haemorrhagic infarction in keeping with torsion. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of torsion of a large ovarian cyst after colonoscopy. We propose a postulated mechanism of this patient’s ovarian torsion and urge clinicians to be cognizant of acute ovarian torsion as a cause of severe abdominal pain following endoscopy.

Aims: To analyse the clinical presentation, clinicopathological correlation and management of complex ovarian cysts in newborn and infants.Materials and Methods: Over a period of 6 years (2009-2015), 25 newborns who were diagnosed to have ovarian cyst on antenatal ultrasound, were followed up. We collected data in the form of clinical features, radiological findings, pathology and mode of treatment.Results: Of the 25 fetuses who were diagnosed to have ovarian cysts, fourteen (56%) underwent spontaneous regression by 6-8 months. Eight were operated in newborn period while 3 were operated in early infancy. Seven had ovarian cyst on right side, 4 had on left side. Eight babies underwent laparoscopy while 3 underwent laparotomy. Histopathology showed varied features of hemorrhagic cyst with necrosis and calcification, serous cystadenoma with hemorrhage, benign serous cyst with hemorrhage and simple serous cyst. Post-operative recovery was uneventful in all.Conclusion: All the ovarian cysts detected antenatally in female fetuses need close follow-up after birth. Since spontaneous regression is known, only complex or larger cysts need surgical intervention, preferably by laparoscopy. Majority of the complex cysts show atrophic ovarian tissue hence end up in oophorectomy but simple cysts can be removed preserving normal ovarian tissue whenever possible.

Benign ovarian cysts are fairly common. However, some of them may attain a large size and may prove to be malignant also. Here we report a case of 48 years old female presenting with chronic constipation due to a large ovarian cyst which was misdiagnosed on CT as mesenteric cyst. This case is being reported because of its large size, unusual presentation and missed diagnosis.

In this case we report a 27 year old primigravida having 14 weeks of pregnancy with torsion of ovarian cyst. She presented to a private clinic with acute pain in right lower abdomen. She was diagnosed to have torsion of ovarian cyst during pregnancy and laparoscopic cystectomy was done. Histopathology report showed benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy baby at term. Though the safety of antepartum surgical intervention has been accepted, laparoscopic surgery needs more advanced surgical skill and knowledge.J. Paediatr. Surg.
