A 26- year- old lady presented 5 days’ postpartum with a series of grand mal seizures after an uneventful pregnancy and delivery. An MRI scan of the brain showed areas of low signal involving cerebral white matter and right cerebellum. Within 2 weeks, all symptoms and radiologic abnormalities had resolved.展开更多

The cyst was extracted from the 10- mm umbilical incision; the other 2 trocars were inserted through 5- mm incisions. One year later, in correspondence to the previous 5- mm incision site, a hernia occurred that contained omentum and was reduced easily with a local anesthetic. After 2 years of good health, an aching nodule occurred on the same trocar site; vaginal ultrasound examination showed another left ovarian cyst. A second laparoscopy was performed; the cyst was very adherent and was removed in fragments. The wall nodule was removed, and the histologic examination classified it as endometriosis.展开更多

In the literature, secondary closure of the hymen has been reported in 2 cases, both of which occurred subsequent to surgical procedures that involved the hymen. We report an interesting case of the spontaneous formation of an imperforate hymen during pregnancy in the absence of previous surgical procedures. Electron microscopic findings indicate hymenal tissue reorganization.展开更多

The amniotic sheet divided the uterine cavity into 2 compartments, with the fetus and placenta located in the upper portion of the amniotic cavity. Although prenatal diagnosis of amniotic sheets can be performed with ultrasonography, the wider field of view and excellent tissue contrast provided by MRI may allow better spatial visualization of the amniotic sheet and, therefore, improve the diagnostic accuracy.展开更多
