BACKGROUND: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are defined as range of pathological adherence/invasion of placenta. Prenatal diagnosis of PAS disorders using ultrasound doppler can optimize fetomaternal outcome and reduce complications. OBJECTIVES: To study the predictive value of prenatal ultrasound staging system for the presence and severity of placenta accreta spectrum and its correlation with fetomaternal outcomes. METHOD: This was a prospective cohort study conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology department at VMMC and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, over a period of 18 months...

AIM: Locally advanced cervical cancer is frequently treated using a combination of external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Radiotherapy often leads to vaginal morbidity, which poses a significant problem. This study aims to analyze the impact of reducing ovoid loading on dosimetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed forty-five CT-based intracavitary brachytherapy plans from fifteen patients. Three plan sets were created for the 45 applications: a standard loading plan (A), a plan with reduced ovoid loading (B), and a tandem-only loading plan (C)...

In this report, we describe a 28-year-old woman, with unicornuate uterus and multiple mid-trimester losses, with two failed Mc Donald's cerclage. She presented to us as a case of recurrent pregnancy losses with history suggestive of cervical incompetence and on detailed investigation was found to be ANA and anti-cardiolipin antibody positive and Rh negative. We performed an interval laparoscopic cervical cerclage for her and were able to successfully deliver her at 35 + 3 weeks with a healthy baby by caesarean section after previous five pregnancy losses and two failed Mc Donald's cerclage...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the success, failure rates and perinatal outcomes following emergency and elective cervical cerclage in singleton and twin pregnancies at a tertiary care perinatal centre over half a decade. METHODS: All pregnant women, both with singleton and twin pregnancies, who had cervical cerclage between June 2014 and May 2019 were included in the retrospective study. Success rates, failure rates, maternal complications and perinatal outcomes were compared in both groups...

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare, aggressive lymphoma with no definite standard of care with a poor outcome. It occurs predominantly in HIV-infected individuals and is frequently seen in extranodal sites. The important differential diagnosis for this PBL is plasmablastic myeloma, where clinical and histopathological features are often ambiguous, rendering the correct diagnosis difficult without complete integration of clinical, morphological, phenotypic, and molecular features. Here, we report a rare case of plasmablastic lymphoma of the ovary with a diagnostic dilemma and the approach to the diagnosis and its management...

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of our study to analyze the trend of obstetric hysterectomy (OH) over last 2 decade in rural tertiary care referral center of western India. DESIGN: Retrospective observational and comparative study from single rural tertiary care referral center of western India. METHOD: A retrospective data collected of patients who underwent OH from Jan 2001 to Dec 2021. Each patient studied in detail for demographic and clinical profile, indication of OH, Intra operative and post operative complication and feto-maternal outcome...

BACKGROUND: An early warning score can be used to identify worsening in obstetric patients as they are more prone for deterioration. This study was conducted to evaluate and validate the performance of the modified early obstetric warning system (MEOWS) as a screening tool for early prediction of severe obstetric morbidity. METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted at obstetrics and gynaecology department, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India...

BACKGROUND: Pre-eclampsia is often associated with unfavourable feto-maternal outcomes. There is a lacuna in its pathophysiology, which emphasizes the need to research for tests, which can predict or correlate with the severity of pre-eclampsia. Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) is a simple, readily available biomarker with evidence of its secretion at the choriodecidual unit and may have a possible role. This study compared serum CA-125 levels between normal pregnant and pre-eclamptic women and determined its clinical usefulness in correlating with the severity of pre-eclampsia...

INTRODUCTION: At diagnosis, women with vulvar cancer often present in locally advanced stage especially in developing countries, owing to the associated ignorance and social stigma. Generally tumour is seen involving adjacent organs, like the vagina, anus, and urethra. Damage to the sphincter system leads to urinary incontinence. Available evidence regarding urethral resections, subsequent lower urinary tract dysfunction and neo-meatus reconstruction in radical vulvar surgeries is scarce and conflicting...

BACKGROUND: Maternal depression, the second leading cause of disease burden in women worldwide is often under-diagnosed and untreated. It can have consequences for pregnancy outcomes and child health. OBJECTIVES: ( 1) To estimate the prevalence of antepartum depression among females attending antenatal clinic of a tertiary hospital. (2) To determine its obstetric and clinico-social correlates. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in antenatal clinic by consecutive sampling of 300 pregnant women...

BACKGROUND: Uterine arterial pseudoaneurysm (UAP) is a rare cause of vaginal bleeding. Usually, UAP follows cesarean section, uterine curettage, vaginal delivery, or cervical conization and must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Here we report a very unusual case of UAP causing intra-abdominal and vaginal bleeding after cervical cerclage and its successful management through the endovascular route. CASE PRESENTATION: This 30-year-old P2L1A2 woman presented with vaginal bleeding after 7 days following hysterotomy for termination of pregnancy...
