ABSTRACT
A young woman of 22 years attended Obstetrics OPD with the complaints with sudden onset of severe headache and forward protrusion of the right eye ball for four months, it was painless and progressive in nature. On Ophthalmoscopy examination, she was found to have vision 6\6 on left and 6\9 with Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) in on right side. Bilateral extra ocular muscles were normal. MRI showed a well defined, heterogeneous extra axial mass lesion seen in right temporal region with both intracranial and intra orbital components suggestive of sphenoid wing meningioma. The patient underwent surgery and the histopathology proved the diagnosis as meningioma. The case of epidermoid brain tumor in a young female with pregnancy is reported for its unusual presentation.
ABSTRACT
Pregnancy in a non communicating rudimentary horn is extremely rare and usually terminates in rupture during first or second trimester of pregnancy . Diagnosis of rudimentary horn and its rupture in a woman with previous caesarean section is difficult . It can be missed on routine ultrasound scan and is usually diagnosed after rupture. We report a case of rupture of rudimentary horn in a patient with previous caesarean section at 20 wks of gestation. Timely laprotomy revealed rupture of left rudimentary horn with massive haemoperitoneum. Excision of horn and blood transfusion saved the patient in a young female with pregnancy is reported for its unusual presentation.
