We report the first case of chikungunya-dengue co-infection during pregnancy requiring emergency Caesarean section (CS) because of fetal distress in a Bangladeshi primigravida. Though previously unreported, this situation may become increasingly common.

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.

Discrete Mass

Although it is uncommon, extrapelvic endometriosis can form a discrete mass known as an abdominal wall endometrioma. The incidence of abdominal wall endometriomas has been estimated to be 0.03% to 0.15% of all cases of endometriosis. We report a case of scar endometriosis in Pfannesteil scar in a 31 year old woman, who presented six years following an emergency Caesarean Section, complaining of some lumps on her incision scar. The patient underwent laparotomy followed by the excision of five endometriotic nodules.

Background. Morbid obesity in a pregnancy is a great challenge to medical practice especially when the patient requires caesarean section.Case Summary. A 38-year-old unbooked gravida 3 Para 2+0weight 195 kg, height 1.7 m with a blood pressure of 210/160 mmhg had spinal anaesthesia for emergency caesarean section which was technically difficult for severe preeclampsia at 32-week gestation. She had poor wound healing and spent 18 days postoperatively on hospital admission.Conclusion. Morbid obesity is a challenge to both obstetric and anaesthetic practice. Antenatal care is necessary in reducing both maternal morbidity and mortality.

Emergency Caesarean

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a unique and rare kind of cardiomyopathy of unknown cause that occurs during pregnancy or the postpartum period. Regional anaesthesia for anaesthetic management of this condition has been extensively described. There are limited reports of anaesthetic management of caesarean section of this case under general anaesthesia. We report a case of 32 years old lady diagnosed to have peripartum cardiomyopathy requiring emergency caesarean section that was successfully managed under general anaesthesia. Anaesthetic management was directed towards optimization of myocardial contractility, preload and after load.

Aim: To present the case report of an incidental finding of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) found during an emergency caesarean section in a young Nigerian woman who presented with slow progress in labour and maternal exhaustion. Presentation of Case: We present the case of a 35-year-old unbooked primigravida with previous myomectomy who presented with maternal exhaustion and slow progress in labour and subsequently had an emergency lower segment caesarean section. At surgery, multiple firm to hard nodules of varying sizes were seen scattered throughout the peritoneum. Histological examination and immunohistochemical analysis of the nodules showed features consistent with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. Clinical and radiological follow-up for 1 year was uneventful. Discussion: DPL is a rare benign smooth muscle tumour that clinically and macroscopically simulates disseminated intra-abdominal or pelvic malignancy. It occurs predominantly in women of child bearing age and is mostly discovered incidentally. The occurrence of DPL in association with pregnancy and uterine leiomyomas was also corroborated in this index case as pedunculated and intramural uterine nodules were also seen during surgery. Conclusion: Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a rare benign disease which may be misdiagnosed as disseminated or metastatic intra-abdominal malignancy. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required for accurate diagnosis and proper management.
