Conjoined twin is a rare complication seen in 1% of monochorionic twins and associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It occurs due to a division event at the primitive streak stage of the human embryonic development at about 13-14 days after fertilisation, in monochorionic monoamniotic gestations.  Early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twin plays a very crucial role in the management and allows appropriate and timely counselling of couple regarding the different modes of management like early termination of pregnancy or continuation of pregnancy with post-natal surgery. Late diagnoses present with difficult options for parents and obstetrician too. Ultrasound plays a very crucial role in diagnosis of conjoined twin. We are reporting a case of 27 years old primigravida referred to our institute at 13 weeks of gestation with ultra-sonographic diagnosis of dicephalus parapagus conjoined twin and further confirmed after termination of pregnancy.

Emergent Laparotomy

Common complications of chest tube thoracostomy (CTT) include lung laceration, chest wall bleeding, improper position of tube, subcutaneous emphysema, and so on. Although intra-abdominal injury because of CTT was possible in stomach, spleen, and liver, published reports are rare and no case of life-threatening hemoperitoneum because of CTT has been published in the literature. Here, we present a rare case of life-threatening hemoperitoneum and liver injury because of CTT. We successfully treated the case with emergent laparotomy. Owing to great rarity and particular rare complication of CTT, we report this case with a review of literature.

Abstract Colonic perforation following ventriculoperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. The common treatment is to remove the perforating catheter and replace with new one. In this case report we reported a rare case of colonic perforation following VP shunt and its anal migration. We have discussed its pathogenesis, management strategy and review of literature.

Stillborn Fetus

Background. Teratomas are the most common tumors. They are usually localized in the sacrococcygeal area, while the pharyngeal localization is very rare. The number of cases of stomatopharyngeal teratomas detected prenatally via sonography is very small.Case Report. We present the case of a 24-year-old primipara at 18 weeks' gestation, that at the routine ultrasound scan, the fetus was found with an echogenic mass, filling the stomatopharyngeal cavity and protruding from the mouth. Other abnormalities were not found. Termination of pregnancy was achieved using misoprostol. A female stillborn fetus with a weight of 250 g and length of 25.5 cm was delivered. The postmortem and pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis.Conclusion. Pharyngeal teratomas can be diagnosed with the use of ultrasounds in utero facilitating parents' counseling in early time.

Pump Twin

AbstractAcardiac twin pregnancy is a rare complication of monochorionic twinning caused by aterioarterial and venovenous placental anastomosis, leading to circulatory predominance of one twin (1). The donor “pump’ twin provides circulation for itself as well as and for the recipient acardiac twin. The acardiac twin is usually grossly abnormal with severe reduction anamolies of the upper part of the body. We present a case of acephalus acardiac anomaly diagnosed by ultrasound, with subsequent post delivery followup.

Fatty Component

Lipoleiomyoma is a rare, benign lipoid tumor of the uterus. Histologically, these tumors are composed of variable amount of smooth muscles with lobules of adipocytes separated by thin brous tissue. They primarily occur in obese postmenopausal women and often remain asymptomatic. Imaging plays a crucial role in determining the intrauterine location along with the fatty component of these tumors. Treatment of these tumors depends on the extent and severity of the patient's symptoms. Hereby, we report a case of lipoleiomyoma in a 51-year-old woman with brief review of literature
