In this case we report a 27 year old primigravida having 14 weeks of pregnancy with torsion of ovarian cyst. She presented to a private clinic with acute pain in right lower abdomen. She was diagnosed to have torsion of ovarian cyst during pregnancy and laparoscopic cystectomy was done. Histopathology report showed benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy baby at term. Though the safety of antepartum surgical intervention has been accepted, laparoscopic surgery needs more advanced surgical skill and knowledge.J. Paediatr. Surg.

Heterotopic pregnancy is defined as a condition when intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancy occur simultaneously. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate and accurate diagnostics and treatment. We present a case of a 28-year-old primigravida female who conceived spontaneously and at her seventh week of gestation and was presented to the emergency department with weakness and acute pain in lower abdomen. Laboratory tests and transvaginal ultrasonography revealed the diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy. Urgent laparoscopic salpingotomy was chosen as a treatment option. The ectopic pregnancy was successfully removed with the preservation of the intrauterine embryo and fallopian tubes. The course of pregnancy after the surgery was without complications, and a healthy baby was delivered at the 39th week of gestation. When treated properly and on time, a heterotopic pregnancy can result in live childbirth with favorable outcomes for both the child and the mother.

Haemorrhage in an ovarian cyst is very common. These cyst are known as haemorrhagic ovarian cysts (HOCs).Most of the cyst disappears spontaneously, but certain cyst requires surgical intervention. HOCs are formed because of occurrence of bleeding into a follicular or corpus luteum cyst. Allopathic system of medicines used various hormonal pills for its management which may have adverse drug reactions. Homoeopathic medicines are very helpful to manage such conditions. This article is about a case of 27 years old female who was suffering from haemorrhagic cyst. Homoeopathic medicine was given on the basis of totality of symptoms and patient cured within three months of treatment. Patient’s consent has been taken for the publication of this case report.

Giant ovarian cysts are very rare nowadays and were conventionally treated by full midline laparotomy. In recent years, the laparoscopic approach is also practiced but it needs a lot of expertise and only a few cases have been reported. As the surgical treatment of choice has become less invasive, laparoscopic surgery is considered more beneficial over laparotomy because of better cosmetic results, less blood loss, reduced postoperative analgesic requirement, early mobilization and faster discharge from the hospital and early resumption to normal day to day activity. We report a case of laparoscopic extirpation of a giant right ovarian cyst measuring 15 × 21 × 22 cm in young 24-year female.

Case report of prenatal diagnosis of bilateral complicated ovarian cysts of the fetus at 34 weeks of pregnancy is presented. The particularity of this case is that one ovarian cyst in the fetus was complicated by intrauterine torsion, which required surgical treatment after birth. In the cavity of the second cyst, hemorrhage occurred with spontaneous regression, which did not require surgical intervention.

Ovarian cysts are frequently encountered during pregnancy due to the use of routine prenatal ultrasound. Most of them are benign but in some cases, complications can occur such as torsion, rupture and malignant change. In pregnancy risk of torsion increases 5-fold. It carries significant risk to a pregnant woman and her intrauterine foetus. Here we are reporting a 30-year-old female G3 P1+1L2 with 15 weeks of gestation who presented to antenatal OPD with complain of dull aching abdominal pain for 1 month and nausea and vomiting for 5 days. On ultrasound bilateral ovarian cysts were found, with one of the cyst with multiple septations. She underwent laparotomy, a right sided twisted ovarian cyst was found for which salpingoophrectomy was done. Left sided cyst was simple where cystectomy was done. Her histopathology report showed a bilateral benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy male baby at term. Ovarian cyst diagnosed in pregnancy can be followed up with serial ultrasound but if associated with complication such as torsion then urgent surgical intervention has to be done.

Background: Before a pregnant woman's baby birth, the incidence of cyst is the most common. Due to availability of quality antenatal ultrasound, ovarian cysts in the pregnant woman are diagnosed more frequently. The large (>5 cm) and complex cysts are symptomatic and it required to be managed by surgical intervention. Cyst might rupture, twist, or even cause problems during childbirth. Aims and objective: To bring relief to a primigravida with 16 weeks pregnancy after spontaneous conception, presented with complain of hugely distended abdomen with marked discomfort and to preserve her pregnancy. Case Report: Materials and Methods: A 26 year old pregnant woman with ovarian cyst was enrolled and treated through laparoscopic management. Results: After the laparoscopic removal of cyst the post-operative period of the pregnant woman was found uneventful. The pregnancy of the woman was progressed smoothly and there was no any complications during the pregnancy. Full term normal delivery (FTNVD) was occurred and the baby was healthy with weight of approximately 2.55 Kgs. Conclusion: Large ovarian cyst can be managed without disturbing the pregnancy and a complicated case can be transformed into a normal ante natal check-ups (ANC).

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. AE is primarily localised in the liver. Echinococcus multilocularis imitates tumour-like behaviour. It can metastasise through blood or lymphatic system to distant organs. Echinococcosis often remains asymptomatic due to its long incubation period and indistinct symptoms. Clinical symptoms are determined by the parasite’s location. Diagnosis of echinococcosis is based on medical history, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, serology results, imaging methods and final histology findings. Surgical removal of the cyst with a safety margin, followed by chemotherapy is the therapeutic method of choice. Case report: We present a case report of alveolar echinococcosis in a thirty-year-old female patient in whom we surgically removed multiple liver foci of alveolar echinococcosis. The disease recurred after two years and required another surgical intervention. Conclusions: Alveolar echinococcosis is a disease with a high potential for a complete cure provided that it is diagnosed early and that the recommended therapeutic procedures are strictly adhered to.

A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.
