Challenges and outcomes of pregnancy in an uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aorta-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA): a case report.

BACKGROUND: Tetralogy of Fallot is a severe type of congenital heart disease (CHD) and one of the leading indirect causes of mortality & morbidity among women with CHD. We came across a rare case of an uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries in pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION: We are reporting the challenges in managing a pregnancy of 25-years-old G3 P0110, previous one stillbirth and who was diagnosed to have congenital heart disease during pregnancy following spontaneous abortion. CONCLUSIONS: This case report highlights the role of multidisciplinary care in managing such a high risk case. It also emphasizes the role of cardiac examination of every woman before pregnancy so that definitive treatment or optimization can be done in time for a better outcome.

Metastatic dysgerminoma in a young patient with 46 XY DSD: A rare case report.

The term DSD (Disorders of Sex development) is issued to define those conditions in whom disharmony exists between chromosomal, hormonal and anatomical sex. Parental and patient mental health and quality of life are adversely affected by these conditions. Moreover, individuals with an underlying DSD, especially those with specific Y chromosomal material in their karyotype have an increased risk for developing a germ cell tumor. Here, we present a unique case of 46XY DSD with bilateral dysgerminomas presenting with abdominal mass at the age of 24 years, who was treated with one cycle of chemotherapy comprising of Carboplatin and Etoposide, following which he developed tumor lysis syndrome and later underwent exploratory laparotomy.
