Caesarean Scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare form of Ectopic pregnancy where the gestation sac is surrounded bymyometrium and the fibrous tissue of the scar from the previous caesarean section. It is often misdiagnosed as Molar pregnancy orInevitable Abortion and can be associated with massive hemorrhage and pervaginal bleeding leading to uterine rupture. Here we reporteda case of Caesarean scar pregnancy who presented with history of cesarean section and pervaginal bleeding. Dilatation and curettagewas planned but during the operative procedure there was profuse hemorrhage leading to hypovolumic shock which was managed byBlood and venesection then emergency laparotomy followed by Total Abdominal Hysterectomy done as life saving procedure,th postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged on 10 postoperative day. Diagnosis is important as caesarean scarpregnancy is associated with life threatening complications such as uterine rupture, massive hemorrhage and the need for Hysterectomywith subsequent loss of fertility.

Placental adhesive disorders involve the growth of placental tissue into or through the uterine wall. Among these disorders, placenta percreta is the rarest one. However, it may cause significant complications. This report aimed to report a neglected patient with placenta percreta who developed uterine rupture with life-threatening late postpartum intra-abdominal hemorrhage. On admission, the patient had acute abdomen with moderate abdominal distention and was subjected to emergency laparotomy. A full-thickness defect of the anterior uterine wall involving the hysterotomy site was seen. Placental tissues occupied both sides of the incision and posterior bladder wall was also invaded by placenta. Total abdominal hysterectomy with partial resection of the posterior bladder wall was performed.

Abstract Objectives Choriocarcinoma after a term pregnancy is rare and can be life-threatening, especially when it perforates the uterus, resulting in massive haemoperitoneum. As uterine rupture due to choriocarcinoma is uncommonly encountered in the clinical practice, its diagnosis is often missed or delayed. Case presentation We present a case of a 41-year-old para 4 + 1 who had acute abdomen and hypovolaemic shock secondary to haemoperitoneum at three months postpartum period. The urine pregnancy test was positive, and, therefore, a provisional diagnosis of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy was made. She was managed aggressively with fluids and blood product transfusion at the emergency department to achieve haemodynamic stability. Subsequently, she underwent an emergency laparotomy where intraoperatively noted a perforation at the left posterior uterine cornu with purplish tissue spillage. A wedge resection was performed, and the histopathological examination (HPE) was reported as atypical trophoblastic cells, in which choriocarcinoma could not be ruled out. The patient then underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy three weeks later. The final HPE confirmed the diagnosis of choriocarcinoma. Conclusions The clinical presentation of postpartum choriocarcinoma can be indistinguishable from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. A high index of suspicion is crucial to allow early diagnosis.

Caesarean Scar Defect

Rates of caesarean section have increased over recent years and so too have associated complications, one of which is a caesarean scar defect (CSD). The defect may cause gynaecological symptoms, such as menometrorrhagia, infertility, chronic abdominal/pelvic pain or it may be asymptomatic. The presence of CSD may lead to obstetrical sequalae such as preterm delivery, uterine rupture, caesarean scar pregnancy or abnormal placenta implantation. Three cases of CSD are described here. In one case, surgical correction of the CSD was performed before a subsequent pregnancy with an uncomplicated obstetric outcome. In the other two cases, surgical correction of the CSD was not performed and the pregnancies were complicated by caesarean scar dehiscence and caesarean scar pregnancy. We suggest that women with a CSD may benefit from surgical correction of the defect before becoming pregnant to reduce the likelihood of serious complications.

Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of >45° around the long axis of the uterus. Uterine torsion is an uncommon event but is even rarer in non-gravid women, with only 25 cases reported in the last 20 years. Here, we report a case of uterine torsion associated with multiple pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas in an 83-year-old woman. She presented at the hospital with lower abdominal pain, and a computed tomography scan revealed multiple uterine leiomyomas with calcifications. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging raised suspicion for torsion of pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. Emergency laparotomy was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with uterine torsion with multiple pedunculated subserosal uterine leiomyomas. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Although difficult to diagnose due to its rarity, uterine torsion can be life-threatening and may cause infertility. Therefore, early diagnosis with imaging and surgical intervention are crucial to avoid serious complications.

Abstract Background Previous caesarean scar pregnancy is one type of ectopic pregnancy in myometrium and fibrous tissue of previous caesarean scar. One of the therapeutic methods of this type of ectopic pregnancy is treatment with methotrexate. Given various findings on the treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy with methotrexate and lack of global report in this regard, we aimed to achieve a global report on the treatment of CSP with methotrexate through related literature review and analysis of the results of the studies, to enable more precise planning to reduce complications of CSP. Method This review study extracted information through searching national and international databases of SID،, Embase, ScienceDirect, ، Scopus, ، PubMed, Web of Science (ISI) between 2003 and January 2020. To perform the meta-analysis, random-effects model and heterogeneity of the studies with I2 index were investigated. Data were sanalysed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2. Results In total, 26 articles with a sample size of 600 individuals were enrolled in the meta-analysis. According to the results of the study, the mean level of β-hCG was 28,744.98 ± 4425.1 mIU/ml before the intervention and was 23,836.78 ± 4533.1 mIU/ml after the intervention. The mean intraoperative blood loss (ml) was 4.8 ± 3.76 ml, mean hospital stay (days) was 11.7 ± 1.2 days, mean time for serum-hCG normalization (days) was 41.6 ± 3.2 days, success was 90.7% (95% CI: 86.7–93.5%), and complication was 9% (95% CI: 6.3–12.8%). Conclusion The results of the current study show methotrexate significantly reduces β-hCG levels and can be effective in treating caesarean scar pregnancy and its complications.

Even if acute abdomen is associated with gastrointestinal (GI) perforation in more than 90% of cases, spontaneously perforated pyometra is a rare and misleading cause that gynecologists and general surgeons should suspect in elderly postmenopausal women. We report one case of diffuse peritonitis caused by spontaneous uterine perforation. A 94-year-old postmenopausal female was admitted to emergency department with signs of diffuse peritonitis and seven days history of abdominal pain. Abdominal contrast- enhanced CT-scan showed a large amount of ascites and a small amount of intraperitoneal free-air. One hour after the admission septic shock developed and emergency laparotomy was performed for suspected GI perforation. During laparotomy about 1500 mL of purulent, malodorous but not-fecaloid fluid was found in peritoneal cavity, without evidence of GI perforation. A 10 mm perforation on the anterior part of the uterine fundus was found. A total abdominal hysterectomy with a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Patients died on postoperative day four despite intensive care for multi-organ failure due to septic shock. The hysto-pathology examination showed absence of cancer. Pyometra perforation is a rare cause of acute abdomen with a not negligible mortality and it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen, especially in elderly patients. The aim of the study is to report our personal experience and a review of the literature of spontaneous perforation of pyometra in patients with no evidence of malignancy.

Introduction: Placenta percreta is an abnormality of placentation where it invades the serosa and can go beyond it. Complications include massive hemorrhage, bladder dysfunction, and severe infections during delivery.  The aim of this study is to report a complex case of placenta percreta managed by interval hysterectomy.Case presentation: Pre-operative: 34 years old patient with previous three cesarean sections was followed in antenatal clinic. She came with repeated bouts of vaginal bleeding at 30-31 weeks. At 32 weeks and 4 days classical cesarean section was done with placenta left in situ. Prophylactic bilateral internal iliac artery balloon was inserted. Post cesarean section, uterine artery embolization was performed. Post-operative: Clinical features of pulmonary embolism (PE) developed about 4 hours later. Post-Operative Day 13: Total abdominal hysterectomy was done. After few days of discharge, the patient presented to the emergency department with shortness of breath. She was consequently diagnosed with chronic pulmonary embolism and treated with warfarin.Conclusion: This is a case of placenta percreta managed by interval hysterectomy. However, the most widely accepted method of management is cesarean hysterectomy. In this case, interval hysterectomy was done due to the possibility of bladder invasion by placenta, to decrease the amount of blood loss and to reduce the number of days stayed in hospital. Appropriate management for the patient must be personalized, whether it is by cesarean hysterectomy or interval hysterectomy,  as each has risks and benefits.

Uterine rupture is one of the most catastrophic complications during pregnancy. It is a rare complication in developed countries but a frequent cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in Africa. Uterine rupture occurs in 1.6% of patients suffering blunt abdominal trauma. Here we report a unique case of complete fundal rupture of the unscarred uterus following fall from motorcycle in 39-week-pregnant mother who was managed with total abdominal hysterectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy and survived, though fetus died before intervention. We also reviewed similar cases reported from different parts of Africa. This is a preventable complication had the woman been properly instructed on transportation safety during her antenatal care visits.
