Objectives: To evaluate the prognosis of obstetric complications by parity in a suburban center in Dakar. Patients and Method: We conducted a retrospective and prospective, cross-sectional study that evaluated all women admitted to the Philippe Maguilen Senghor Health Center for the management of their pregnancy (childbirth, abortion, ectopic pregnancy), whether they were primiparous or multiparous. The data for this study covered a 66-month period, from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2017. Data were entered into our E-perinatal computer database. They were then extracted and analyzed first on Microsoft Excel 2016 and then on SPSS 24, Windows version. Results: Between January 2012 and June 2017, we've registered 27,441 patients including 25,905 deliveries, 1415 abortions and 121 ectopic pregnancies. Direct obstetric complications involved 14.1% of our patients. 12.1% multiparous and 17.3% primiparous had at least one direct obstetric complication of World Health Organization (WHO). Antepartum haemorrhage, uterine rupture, ectopic pregnancy, and abortion complications were more common in multipara, whereas prolonged and obstructed labor, preeclampsia, and eclampsia were more common in primiparous women. Postpartum haemorrhage occurred at substantially equal frequencies in both parity groups. We had not found any case of sepsis. Conclusion: Our study confirms that primiparity is a factor that may lead to obstetric complications. However, while some complications were more common in the primiparous, others were exclusive to multiparous when we did not expect it. We also recommend continuing this work by singling out multiparas and large multiparas, in order to better understand the obstetric prognosis linked to parity.
This case report, it's about a patient I met during prenatal consultation, she was in the 2 nd semester of her pregnancy, exactly at 25 weeks. During the physical examination, we found, she had a hypoplasia of minor labia, an incomplete vaginal diaphragm with a vaginal cup, and a hypertrophy of clitoris. We decide to make some biological and instrumental examinations. After getting the result, we concluded she has a pseudo hermaphroditism associated with malformation of 1/3 of vagina. Reason why the way of the delivery choose was a C-section. Female pseudo hermaphroditism is the most frequent (FPH) sexual ambiguity. It is characterized by the extension of abnormality of the sexual differentiation during the fetal life in the female fetus by a maternal or fetal hyper-genesis. The authors propose through a clinical case with a patient 46XX DSD pregnant. The main cause of this pathology is congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which we lead to deficits of 21-hydoxylase, 11-beta-hydroxylase, 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, but 95% of the congenital adrenal hyperplasia is the deficiency of 21-hydoxylase. The treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia depend of the cause, hormone replacement therapy like (dexamethasone, hydrocortisone), most often the treatment for life is needed. From this we propose to make review of literature focusing on it.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
