ABSTRACT

A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) highlighted at the end of 2019 in China is spreading around the world. Most often the cause of an infectious syndrome, associating mild symptoms (fever, cough, myalgia, headache and possible digestive disorders) to different degrees. SARS-CoV-2 can also cause serious lung disease and sometimes death. Here we present a case of a 21-year-old woman who consults for a miscarriage of 8 weeks of amenorrhea and has been diagnosed with concomitant SARS-CoV-2 infection. The importance of this observation is to make a remind of the mode of transmission, to discuss the severity of the virus in case of pregnancy and to discuss the therapeutic protocol used in our country in front of this epidemic.

ABSTRACT

Conjoined twins are a rare malformation of monozygotic and mono-amniotic twin pregnancies. We report the case of a patient in whom dicephalic conjoined twins was diagnosed in the antenatal period at 37 week amenorrhea. Fetal prognosis is very poor and, if the diagnosis has been made early, it most often requires therapeutic abortion. The purpose of this case study was to remind clinicians of this very rare disease, of the importance of ultrasound as an essential diagnostic tool to implement a strategy to manage patients in the postpartum period and of prognosis which is most often very guarded.

ABSTRACT

STUMP (smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential) are smooth muscle tumors that cannot be diagnosed as either benign or malignant due to their morphological characteristics. We here report the case of a 44 year old patient with no notable medical history presenting with an increase in the abdominal volume. Pelvic ultrasound and CT TAP scan were performed showing voluminous mass with tissue and fluid-filled component in the uterus. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy during which two masses were detected, one in the uterus and the other in the retroperitoneal area. Anatomopathologic examination showed uterine myoma associated with a STUMP.
