Sigmoid volvulus in pregnancy is a very rare clinical situation responsible for high rates of mortality and morbidity in both mother and fetus. It is due to the gravid uterus which itself clouds the clinical picture of sigmoid volvulus.A long and redundant sigmoid colon compressed by enlarged gravid uterus, might explain increased incidence of sigmoid volvulus during pregnancy especially during third trimester. This article describes a case with 36 weeks of gestation where sigmoid volvulus was encountered during caesarean section. Keywords: Sigmoid, volvulus, pregnancy

Uterine torsion is defined as a rotation of uterus more than 45 degrees along its long axis. However, a pathologic rotation of the uterus beyond 45 degrees-torsion of the entire uterus-is rarely seen in obstetrical practice, authors report a case of torsion of the uterus by 90 degrees. The patient, a 30-year-old gravida 3 para 2 at 37 weeks’ gestation with a singleton pregnancy, her prior obstetrical history included two uncomplicated term vaginal deliveries, and the current pregnancy had been uncomplicated until the date of presentation was admitted to the obstetrical unit  with  labour at 37 weeks 5 days ,on obstetric examination the patient was in labour with transversal presentation of the fetus so an emergency caesarean section (CS) was carried out for. At the time of CS, the diagnosis of uterine torsion of 90 degrees was made. After the delivery of the baby, uterus returned to anatomical position and the torsion corrected spontaneously. The patient recovered and was discharged home with her baby on the third postoperative day. Uterine torsion is an infrequently reported and potentially dangerous complication of pregnancy that occurs mainly in the third trimester.

Sigmoid volvulus is a rare condition seen during pregnancy with high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a young 26-year-old woman, primipara, in her third trimester who presented with recurrent sigmoid volvulus at both 30 and 32 weeks of gestation. She underwent successful repetitive endoscopic decompression on both admissions with uneventful recovery. Endoscopic evaluation is safe in pregnancy and uncomplicated volvulus. It allows for diagnostic confirmation and assessment of complications; and it has successful outcomes in the presence of a multidisciplinary team.

The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis in pregnancy is challenging, even in endemic areas, as other neurological conditions with similar manifestations are common. Obstetricians and physicians may be reluctant to do neuroimaging in pregnancy and often the availability is limited in endemic areas. Management of neurocysticercosis depends on the symptomatology. In those presenting with features of increased intracranial pressure early treatment is necessary, taking into consideration the gestational age and the maternal condition at presentation. Presence of intraventricular cysts causing obstructive hydrocephalus necessitates their removal due to the risk of intracranial hypertension which could be life-threatening, particularly peripartum. We report a case of a woman with intraventricular neurocysticercosis, who presented in the third trimester, and described the management dilemmas that were encountered. The differential diagnoses and other aspects of the medical and surgical management of neurocysticercosis in pregnancy are also discussed.

Hemorrhoids in pregnancy rarely require surgical treatment. Hemorrhoidectomy when done in pregnancy may result in complications for the mother or fetus. With multiple gestations (twin gestation in this case), the risk of these complications could be higher, more so, when done in the third rather than second trimester. We report the management of a 29yr old woman with twin gestation and in situ cervical cerclage who developed strangulated hemorrhoids at 30 weeks gestation. She had successful hemorrhoidectomy, continued her pregnancy until vaginal delivery of a healthy set of male twin neonates at 37 weeks gestation without recurrence.

The simultaneous occurrence of breast cancer and pregnancy is rare. Little data are available about cytostatic treatment in patients with breast cancer during pregnancy. We report on a 31-year-old woman with a 28-week pregnancy and a T3 N+ Mx breast cancer treated with weekly doxorubicin chemotherapy. This was a well tolerated treatment without toxicity or complications for the mother. A partial response of the tumor was observed after 4 treatment courses. A normal baby was delivered. Doxorubicin and its metabolites were not detected in amniotic fluid collected through amniocentesis. Macroscopic and pathologic examinations of the placenta were normal. Although larger experiences are needed, weekly doxorubicin seems to yield satisfactory results without additional risks of fetal distress or malformations when given in women during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract We report a case of COVID-19 in third-trimester pregnancy, who required support in an intensive care unit and received remdesivir. After discharge, she had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery at term. COVID-19 in pregnancy may be managed without emergent delivery; a multispecialty team is critical in caring for these patients.
