Spontaneous Labour

A 34-year-old primiparous woman presented in spontaneous labour and had an unassisted vaginal birth of a 3.5 kg infant. Postnatally, the patient experienced lower limb weakness and was unable to mobilise unassisted. A diagnosis of postpartum femoral neuropathy was made. Full recovery of normal motor function was not achieved until 5 months postpartum. She returned in her next pregnancy, seeking advice on how to avoid this complication from reoccurring. It was decided that an elective caesarean section was an appropriate mode of delivery, which she underwent at 39 weeks without complication and without recurrence of the femoral neuropathy.

Abstract Background Locked twins is a rare and hazardous obstetric complication, which occurs in approximately 1:100 twin pregnancies. One of the known etiologic factors for locked twins is size of the twins. We report a case of chin-to-chin locked twins that occurred at gestational age of 30 weeks pus 6 days. Case summary A 27 years-old primigravida Oromo mother presented with a history of pushing down pain and passage of liquor of 6 hours duration at gestational age of 30 weeks plus 6 days. With a diagnosis of twin pregnancy (first twin non-vertex), abdominal delivery was decided in latent first stage of labor but mother refused caesarian delivery and she was allowed to labor with the hope of achieving a vaginal delivery. In second stage, interlocking twin was encountered and a low vertical cesarean section was done to effect delivery of twins without the need to decapitate the first twin. Conclusion Locked twin is a rare obstetric complication. Whenever it is encountered, successful delivery can be achieved without the need to have decapitation of the first twin during caesarian section.

Abstract Background A high rate of cesarean delivery has become a cause of global concern. Although the rate of cesarean delivery has declined over recent years, it remains at a high level largely because of cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR). Unnecessary cesarean delivery has limited significance in benefiting maternal and infant physical health; in some ways, it might pose potential risks instead. With the implementation of the “Two-child Policy” in China, an increasing number of women plan to have a second child. Accordingly, how to handle the CDMR rate in China remains an important issue. Methods Data were collected from a longitudinal follow-up study conducted in Chongqing, China, from 2018 to 2019. A structured questionnaire was administered to subjects for data collection. Basic information, including demographic characteristics, living habits, medical history, and follow-up data of pregnant women, as well as their families and society, was collected. Additionally, delivery outcomes were recorded. Logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors influencing CDMR. Results The rate of cesarean delivery in Chongqing, China was 36.01 %, and the CDMR rate was 8.42 %. Maternal request (23.38 %), fetal distress (22.73 %), and pregnancy complications (9.96 %) were the top three indications for cesarean delivery. Logistic regression analysis showed that older age (OR = 4.292, 95 % CI: 1.984–9.283) and being a primiparous woman (OR = 6.792, 95 % CI: 3.230-14.281) were risk factors for CDMR. In addition, CDMR was also associated with factors such as the tendency to choose cesarean delivery during late pregnancy (OR = 5.525, 95 % CI: 2.116–14.431), frequent contact with mothers who had undergone vaginal deliveries (OR = 0.547, 95 % CI: 0.311–0.961), and the recommendation of cesarean delivery by doctors (OR = 4.071, 95 % CI: 1.007–16.455). Conclusions “Maternal request” has become the primary indication for cesarean delivery. The occurrence of CDMR is related to both the personal factors of women during pregnancy and others. Medical institutions and obstetricians should continue popularizing delivery knowledge among pregnant women, enhancing their own professional knowledge about delivery, adhering to the standard indications for cesarean delivery, and providing pregnant women with adequate opportunities for attempting vaginal delivery.

Misleading Information

When gestational age has been firmly established by standard obstetric criteria, the risks of routine amniocentesis prior to repeat caesarian section in the uncomplicated term gestation [to obtain amniotic fluid indices of fetal pulmonary maturity] outweigh the usefulness of the potentially uninformative or misleading information gained.

Posterior urethral valve (PUV) are the most common congenital obstructive lesion of the urethra and a common cause of obstructive uropathy in infancy. Clinical presentation depends on the severity of the obstruction. In case of severe obstruction, the diagnosis is usually made antenatally. Here, we present a case of antenatally diagnosed PUV of a fetus of a lady in her 9th month of pregnancy with mild lower abdominal pain for several hours. On ultrasound (US) examination, we found 36.5±2 weeks of pregnancy with mild to moderate oligohydramnios. Fetal urinary bladder was over distended; both the kidneys were grossly hydronephrotic and PUV like echo lucent area was seen at the prostatic region (Key hole sign). Emergency caesarian section (CS) was done and US of the baby showed typical US finding of PUV. The prognosis of antenatal diagnosis of PUV in early pregnancy is poor. But in this case due to the late onset of symptoms and as immediate necessary steps were taken, the baby was totally cured. This case was reported to aware about importance of antenatal anomaly scan and to share our experience. CBMJ 2016 January: Vol. 05 No. 01 P: 42-45

Myomas are common in pregnancy and can go unnoticed. One in ten patients, however, develops complications that would necessitate their removal. Myomectomy performed at caesarian section had come to the lime light over the last decade and recent literature have shown its safety. There is still paucity of literature on myomectomy performed during pregnancy. Our case was a 25 years old primigravida at 21 weeks with features of acute abdomen secondary to uterine fibroid which was diagnosed during pregnancy. She subsequently had antepartum myomectomy and a live birth at term via caesarean section.
