Objective: To analyze various clinical presentation and the surgical management of ovarian pathology in young girls ranges from 15-25 years. Design: Case series. Setting: Gynae Department 1, Lahore General Hospital Lahore. Period: From January 2008 to December 2009. Patients and Methods: All young girls in the age group mentioned above having an ovarian pathology and managed during study period were included. Age of patients, presenting symptoms, USG findings, surgical management and finally histological diagnosis were noted. Results: There were 20 cases with ovarian lesions. Most of patients presented at the age of 20-25 years (55%). Mass abdomen seen in (30%) cases, followed by pain abdomen in (20%). Lapratomy was done in most of cases and main aim was toward ovary sparing surgery as Cystectomy was done in (50%) cases and Oophorectomy was done in (30%) cases. 85% cases were benign on histology report and 15% were malignant. Conclusions: Ovarian tumors are rare in young age group. Benign lesions such as simple ovarian cysts are very common in this age. In young girls main interest is toward conservative and fertility sparing surgery.

The main aim of the study is to observe the reproductive outcome in patient of germ cell tumour after fertility preserving surgery. In which retrospective records of patients diagnosed with malignant GCT in young patients treated with fertility sparing surgery and chemotherapy for ten years from 2000 to 2009. From the careful observations concluded the overall survival with the patients treated with fertility sparing surgery is excellent and the reproductive outcome is more or less equivalent to the general population of same age group.

ObjectivesEvaluation of the presentation, demographics, pathology and outcomes associated with surgical management of spinal meningiomas and review of an association with a history of preceding breast carcinoma.DesignA retrospective single-centre case series of surgically managed meningiomas over a 4 year period.Subjects184 cases of surgically managed intradural lesions from 2014 to 2018.Results48 patients were identified as having a spinal meningioma [26% of all spinal tumours]. 42 [88%] were female with a cumulative mean age of 69 years [SD ±10]. Most lesions were located in the thoracic spine [n=41]. The cohort had a Charlson comorbidity index of 3. Weakness [median MRC grade 3], neuropathic pain [mean NPS of 26/100] and problems with gait [median mJOA score of 2] were the commonest presenting symptoms. Post-operatively improvements in MRC, NPS, mJOA and SF36 scores were observed. 16% [n=7] of cases had a preceding history of oestrogen-receptor positive breast carcinoma, with a mean interval time between diagnoses of 8.1 years [SD ±5.1]. Risk analysis using baseline data from national cancer registries demonstrates that the likelihood of both diagnoses to be 4.9%, this is considerably lower than the observed 16% (p=0.01).ConclusionsAnalysis of our cohort has demonstrated an association between a preceding diagnosis of oestrogen-receptor positive breast carcinoma and spinal meningiomas that cannot be explained by chance alone.

Context. This case series discusses surgical management of esophageal perforations that occurred following cervical spine hardware placement. Purpose. (1) Determine presenting symptoms of esophageal perforation after anterior cervical spine hardware placement. (2) Discuss surgical management of these resulting esophageal perforation complications. Design/Setting. Case series of six patients at a tertiary-care, academic medical center. Patient Sample. Six patients with pharyngoesophageal perforations following anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS). Outcome Measures. Date of ACSS, indication for ACSS, level of hardware, location of esophageal or pharyngeal injury, symptoms at presentation, surgical intervention, type of reconstruction flap, wound culture flora, and antibiotic choice. Methods. A retrospective review of patients with an esophageal or hypopharyngeal injury in the setting of prior ACSS managed by the otolaryngology service at a tertiary, academic center between January 2015 and January 2019. Results. Six patients who experienced pharyngoesophageal perforation following ACSS are included in this study. Range of presentation was two weeks to eight years following initial hardware placement. Five patients presented with an abscess and all had evidence of perforation on initial CT or esophagram. All patients underwent repair with a sternocleidomastoid flap with two patients eventually requiring an additional pectoralis myofascial flap for a persistent esophageal leak. Five patients eventually attained ability to tolerate oral nutrition. An algorithm detailing surgical reconstructive management is proposed. Conclusions. Esophageal perforations in the setting of prior ACSS are challenging clinical problems faced by otolaryngologists. Consideration should be given to early drainage of abscesses and spine surgery evaluation. Spinal hardware removal is recommended whenever possible. Utilization of a pedicled muscle flap reinforces primary closure and allows coverage of the vertebral bony defect. Nutrition, thyroid repletion, and culture-directed IV antibiotics are necessary to optimize esophageal perforation repair.

Germ cell tumours form a minority of all malignancies of the ovary. The common age group affected by yolk sac tumours is 11 to 24 years. Here, we present a case of yolk sac tumour in a 13-year-old girl who came with complaints of abdominal pain, distension and acute febrile illness. Fertility sparing surgery (Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) was done while the contra lateral ovary and uterus was conserved followed by combination chemotherapy postoperatively. As pprognosis of yolk sac tumours is highly stage-dependent, an early diagnosis can result in a drastic difference in the final outcome of the treatment of this highly aggressive disease. Besides the rarity of the tumour, the importance of the fact, that a vigilant and informed clinician can make an early and timely diagnosis of this condition even in girls of such a young age and make a drastic difference in the final outcome of the treatment, compels us to present this case.
