Research paper thumbnail of Successful vaginal delivery of spontaneously conceived twins in each horn of a bicornuate uterus with previous caesarean: a case report

Among this, bicornuate uterus has a rare incidence of 0.4%. Uterine malformations pose significant threat in terms of obstetric outcomes. We report an extremely rare case of spontaneous conception of twin pregnancy with the fetus occupying each horn of a bicornuate uterus (bicornis unicollis), in a woman with a history of previous caesarean section. She was booked at our hospital and the pregnancy remained uneventful. At 35 weeks she went into spontaneous labour and delivered vaginally without any maternal-fetal complications. The case is unique and the management is worth discussing as till date no protocols or guidelines have been proposed for the mode of delivery of bicornuate uterus with twins with previous cesarean. Only 12 cases of twins with bicornuate uterus have been reported till date. This is the first case in literature in which a successful VBAC has been conducted in a woman wit...

Paraurethral leiomyoma is an extremely rare, benign, hormone-dependent growth from the mesenchymal cells in paraurethral space of female urethra. They usually appear in the reproductive age group women, mean age of presentation being approximately 41 years. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman presented with palpable mass at vagina and weak urinary stream. She underwent clinical examination and CT scan and MRI imaging followed by transvaginal excision of the mass. Histopathological examination confirmed paraurethral leiomyoma. Conclusions Paraurethral leiomyoma owing to its rare incidence poses a diagnostic dilemma for the gynecologists. Radiological imaging techniques help in diagnosis. Surgical excision via vaginal route is the treatment of choice. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology.

This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in New Delhi, India, over a period of one year. During this period, women diagnosed as GDM between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation using IADPSG criteria underwent seven-value sugar profile in twenty-four hours before initiating any therapy. Those with normal profile were kept on observation only, whereas others were managed by Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) with or without pharmacotherapy as required to maintain euglycemia. Maternal and fetal outcomes were documented and analysed to detect differences between the groups. Out of 2279 pregnant women, 201 (8.8%) were diagnosed as GDM. The twenty-four-hour seven-value sugar profile was normal in 78 (38....

It is a malignant epithelial neoplasm with a distinctive histological appearance accounting for 0.5 2% of all cervical carcinomas. It is generally a locally aggressive tumor and has a high tendency for local recurrence and distant metastasis. In this article we are reporting a case of a primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix and discuss a brief review of related literature. Case Presentation: A forty-six-year-old postmenopausal female presented in the outpatient department with the history of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. On examination, a 3 × 3 cm hard growth arising from the cervix was visualized. A clinical diagnosis of carcinoma cervix stage 2B was made and histopathological examination report of the cervical biopsy revealed adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix. The patient was successfully treated with the radiotherapy. Conclusion: Standard treatment of...

Scar endometriosis is a rare entity with an incidence of 0.3-1% among reproductive age women following obstetric and gynaecologic surgeries. Complaints of pain, tender mass, cyclical association with menstrual cycle is almost pathognomonic. Here we present two case reports of scar endometriosis recently encountered at our institute – caesarean scar endometriosis and episiotomy scar endometriosis. The quoted episiotomy scar endometriosis incidence is about 0.06 - 0.07% while that of caesarean scar endometriosis is 0.03-0.4%.
