Diskectomy during Pregnancy: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: Study Design Case report. Objective The purpose of this report is to discuss the management of a disk herniation during pregnancy and the indication and particularities of surgery in this situation. Methods We describe a case of diskectomy performed in a 35-year-old woman at 18 weeks of gestation. After 4 weeks of trying to manage the disk herniation with rest and medications without success, the muscle strength of the L5 right root decreased to grade 4, and the patient was not responding to intravenous analgesia. After discussion with the patient and family, a decision was made to perform the diskectomy. Results After surgery, the patient's pain lessened, and the Lasegue test became negative. Two weeks after the procedure, the patient's muscle strength was normal. In the 40th week of pregnancy, the patient gave birth without any complications. Conclusion When necessary, diskectomy can be indicated and performed during pregnancy. However, appropriate precautions must be taken. Awareness of these precautions is important for the success of the procedure and for the well-being of the mother and the newborn.

Management of severe acne during pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:The treatment of acne during pregnancy is often limited by the potential toxicities that are posed to the fetus by the most common and effective acne therapies. As with all dermatoses during pregnancy, the treatment of acne vulgaris in this population requires a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits that are inherent to each treatment. We report on a case of a 30-year-old pregnant patient with severe acne conglobata who showed significant improvement with a combination treatment of topical modalities, oral metronidazole, and low dose prednisone during pregnancy. We also review the literature and present an approach for the care of these patients.

Endometriosis-associated Maternal Pregnancy Complications - Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:The incidence of endometriosis is increasing. Particularly during pregnancy and labour, clinicians should be alert to possible endometriosis-associated complications or complications of previous endometriosis treatment, despite a low relative risk. In addition to an increased rate of early miscarriage, complications such as spontaneous bowel perforation, rupture of ovarian cysts, uterine rupture and intraabdominal bleeding from decidualised endometriosis lesions or previous surgery are described in the literature. Unfavourable neonatal outcomes have also been discussed. We report on an irreducible ovarian torsion in the 16th week of pregnancy following extensive endometriosis surgery, and an intraabdominal haemorrhage due to endometriosis of the bowel in the 29th week of pregnancy.

Stercoral Perforation of the Colon during Pregnancy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Stercoral perforation of the colon, though rare, is associated with high mortality. Review of the literature identified only three prior cases reported during pregnancy. We report a case on a multiparous female presenting at 31 weeks of gestation with acute abdominal pain. Computed tomography suggested a sigmoid colon perforation. An urgent exploratory laparotomy was performed where feculent peritonitis and a stercoral perforation of the sigmoid colon was confirmed. A cesarean delivery and sigmoid colectomy with descending end colostomy was performed. While the newborn had an uncomplicated course, the mother developed an intra-abdominal abscess requiring operative management.

Administration of Gemcitabine for Metastatic Adenocarcinoma during Pregnancy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:We present the case of a 38-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract in the 18th week of pregnancy. Chemotherapy based on cisplatin and gemcitabine was administered, reaching disease stabilization until late-preterm delivery at 35 + 0 weeks of gestation. The infant was healthy and showed no malformations. Her head circumference was small, yet no neurological and behavioral defects have been detected. Development was normal during 14 months of follow-up. We discuss the implications of metastatic cancer in pregnancy with focus on therapeutic options for metastatic adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract. In this context, available data for the active regimens in biliary tract cancers-platinum compounds and gemcitabine-are discussed. This report is the fourth in the literature detailing the application of gemcitabine during pregnancy and the first presenting longer term follow-up, complementing available evidence that gemcitabine-based regimens are feasible in this situation.

Parkinson's Disease in Pregnancy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Project description:Background: Pregnancy in Parkinson's disease is a rare occurrence, and to date, clinical experience with its management is rather limited. In clinical practice, doubts concern mainly the impact of PD on gestation, labor, and delivery as well as the safety of dopaminergic drugs. Case and review of the literature: We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with an 8-year history of PD. In the first trimester of her pregnancy, her motor status was similar to the pre-conceptional period. In gestation week 16, her motor status dramatically worsened and she complained of predictable "off" periods in the afternoon. For this reason, her dose of L-DOPA/carbidopa was increased up to 500/125 mg per day. At 39 gestational weeks, she gave birth to a healthy girl with an Apgar score of 9 by an uncomplicated cesarean delivery. The child was not breast fed to avoid exposure to antiparkinsonian drugs. The L-DOPA/carbidopa dosage remained constant during the postpartum period. We performed a systematic review of the literature using Ovid Medline, Scopus, and PubMed (including Cochrane database). We used the search terms "Parkinson disease" AND "pregnancy." We identified 20 studies of PD in pregnancy with a total of 37 pregnant women with PD. The most important available data concern the safety of L-DOPA therapy during pregnancy. There seems to be some risk of worsening of the condition or upcoming of new PD symptoms during or shortly after pregnancy. Conclusion: More data concerning the safety of antiparkinsonian drugs in PD treatment, as well as the effect of pregnancy on parkinsonian symptoms are needed. According to the current state of the art, L-DOPA therapy should be considered preferable to other drugs during pregnancy.

Ruptured interstitial ectopic pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:IntroductionInterstitial pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. The aim of our publication is to describe the diagnosis and treatment of this entity.Case reportWe report the case of a ruptured interstitial pregnancy diagnosed in a 32 years old patient admitted for acute abdominal pain.DiscussionThe main symptom was severe pelvic pain in a context of amenorrhea. The ultrasound found the ectopic pregnancy in the form of an eccentric gestational sac with an empty uterine cavity as well as intraperitoneal effusion. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy was suspected and the patient was admitted immediately for emergency laparotomy with cornusotomy and salpingectomy.ConclusionInterstitial ectopic pregnancy is associated with high morbidity. Its diagnosis and management should be early and adequate in order to avoid complications and preserve fertility.

Management of Liddle Syndrome in Pregnancy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Liddle syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that causes hypertension and hypokalemia due to a gain-of-function mutation in the SCNN1B or SCNN1G genes which code for the epithelial sodium channel in the kidney. This leads to increased sodium and water reabsorption causing hypertension. We report a case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted for hypertension and hypokalemia and later diagnosed and treated for Liddle syndrome using amiloride. Maintaining a high suspicion of Liddle syndrome in pregnancy is essential in such cases to be able to adequately and effectively treat the hypertension. Due to physiological effects of pregnancy, the dose of amiloride may need to be increased as gestational age progresses up to a maximum dose of 30?mg orally per day.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and pregnancy: A case report and review of the literature.

Project description:The association of granulomatosis with polyangiitis and pregnancy is rare and therapeutic options are limited by the risk of teratogenicity and fetotoxicity. There is a paucity of published literature to guide clinical decision-making in these cases. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with no medical history who presented at 21 weeks of gestation with a bilateral sudden loss of hearing and erosive rhinitis. The diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis was confirmed radiologically and biologically. Corticosteroids were not enough to stabilize the disease and she received intravenous immunoglobulins with remission. A successful delivery of a healthy male newborn was done at 36 weeks. A review of all published literature on granulomatosis with polyangiitis in pregnancy between 1970 and 2017 is presented. Trial registration: Not applicable.

Mesenteric cyst manifested as obesity, gastroesophageal reflux, urinary incontinence, and abdominal mass during pregnancy-Case report and literature review.

Project description:Introduction and importanceThe mesenteric cyst (MC) is a rare entity, a benign lesion that causes the growth of an abdominal mass and other clinical presentations. The presentation of MC during pregnancy is even less frequent.Case presentationA 34-year-old Mexican woman presented with a mesenteric cyst treated with laparotomy aspiration during the 16th week of pregnancy; the pregnancy was resolved by cesarean section without problems. Nevertheless, 17 months later, the lesion recurred. New assessment and surgical treatment with complete excision are performed without evidence of further recurrence.Clinical discussionThis case is essential due to the low frequency of association between pregnancy and mesenteric cyst. Incomplete resection, aspiration, and marsupialization of the lesion carry a high risk of recurrence. Therefore, the opportune moment to perform a complete resection of the lesion and avoid complications should be evaluated during pregnancy.ConclusionMC should be considered a differential diagnosis in cystic lesions during pregnancy. Imaging studies, complete surgical resection, histological evaluation, and follow-up are necessary for adequate treatment.
