Background: Trisomy 13 is a trisomy disorder of chromosome 13 which causes many fetal structural defects. The prognosis is very poor and the majority is still birth. Major structural anomalies are occasionally identified in the late-first or early-second trimester. Any discovery of multiple structural anomalies in the fetus increases the chances of chromosomal anomalies. Case Report: Here we report trisomy 13 case of A 34-years-old housewife, third gravida, prenatal diagnosis during antenatal ultrasonography showed diaphragmatic hernias, cardiovascular dextroposition, ventricular septal defect, labiognatopalatoschizis and renal dextra pyeletaxis. From the chromosomal analysis, the fetal karyotype was 47 XY+13. A male infant was born with weight of 2600 grams, 46 cm, cyanosis, and severe respiratory distress with congenital abnormalities of micrognathia, diaphragmatic hernia, dextrocardia, ventricular septal defect, persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn, undescended testis, labiognatopalatoshizis, and polydactily. Discussion: Prenatal diagnosis can be done through amniocentesis for karyotyping which is the gold standard for diagnosis trisomy 13. In addition, screening can also be done since the first trimester. Conclusion: All pregnancies in second trimester must be evaluated for structural abnormalities through ultrasonography and cytogenetic examination if necessary for early diagnosed.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a frequent cause of visits to health care provider during adolescent period. Heavy menstrual bleeding is the most frequent clinical presentation of AUB. This condition particularly worrisome in this group not only when it occurs at menarche, but also anytime afterward when bleeding lasts longer than 7 days, blood loss is greater than 80 mL per cycle, or other warning signs that indicate a history of heavy bleeding such as anemia. Careful history and examination can help elucidate the best next steps for workup and management. The primary goal of treatment is prevention of hemodynamic instability. Therefore, assessing the severity and cause of bleeding is important. Therapeutic approach in the acute period should be established according to the degree of anemia and amount of flow. Treatment options for medical care of AUB generally include hormonal, nonhormonal and surgery. Additionally, long-term management with hormonal therapy in patients with severe uterine bleeding is known to be safe for developing HPO axis.

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.
