ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Snakebites in pregnancy can be life-threatening to both the mother and fetus as a result of inflammatory and toxic properties of the venom. Prompt medical treatment is critical to prevent adverse consequences. CASE: A 26-year-old woman at 37 6/7 weeks of gestation was bitten by a rattlesnake on the right middle finger, resulting in severe pain radiating up to the upper arm and swelling involving the entire hand. A total of 18 vials of crotalidae polyvalent immune fab was administered over 11 hours. Three days after the incident, the patient delivered a healthy neonate vaginally and without complications. Both mother and newborn were well at 1-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: Our case supports managing snakebites in pregnancy similar to managing cases in nonpregnant individuals, including using crotalidae polyvalent immune fab antivenom.

ABSTRACT

An 18-year-old virginal woman was referred to the reproductive endocrinology clinic with primary amenorrhoea and secondary sexual development in the absence of pelvic pain. Additionally, she had significant congenital sensorineural hearing loss, autism, bipolar disorder and class III obesity. On physical examination, secondary sexual development was confirmed (Tanner 5 breasts and Tanner 4 pubic hair). She refused further pelvic examination following prior attempts by the referring physicians. Serum leutinizing hormone (LH), follicle sitmulating hormone (FSH). prolactin, estradiol and total testosterone values were within normal limits. Karyotype was 46,XX. MRI demonstrated complete uterine agenesis, short vagina, sacral dysgenesis with complete absence of the coccyx and a horseshoe kidney. Diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome type 2 was established based on clinical, laboratory and MRI findings. The patient and family were counselled regarding the disease process, techniques for vaginal elongation, sexual activity and future reproductive options.
