Objectives Fraser syndrome is a rare congenital malformation characterized by cryptophthalmos, syndactyly and urogenital tract malformations. The association with hydrometrocolpos is infrequent, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Case presentation A 19-year-old primigravida presenting at 35 weeks of gestation, with prenatal finding of hydrometrocolpos associated with hypotelorism and microphthalmia. Pre-term cesarean delivery was performed due to breech labor and perinatal death. The autopsy confirmed hydrometrocolpos secondary to vaginal atresia and imperforate hymen, associated with cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, nasal and pinna malformations, confirming the diagnosis of Fraser syndrome. Conclusions Fraser syndrome is usually a postnatal diagnosis. The association with genital abnormalities explains the finding of hydrometrocolpos, which could be considered a diagnostic criterion for this syndrome.
Introducción: el parto pretérmino es una problemática a nivel mundial, la cual lleva a morbimortalidad de los neonatos a corto y a largo plazo. Se han descrito diferentes medidas que favorecen mayor tiempo fetal in útero, favoreciendo un mejor pronóstico neonatal como lo es la sutura cervical denominada cerclaje. Objetivo: consolidar información sobre las indicaciones de la realización del cerclaje profiláctico en la prevención de parto pretérmino del embarazo de feto único. Métodos: se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura con búsqueda sistemática en bases de datos como Pubmed, Embase y Science Direct. Con términos DeCS: Cerclaje cervical y trabajo de parto prematuro. Aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión, así como lectura crítica con herramienta CASPe, fueron seleccionados veintisiete artículos. Resultados: trece de los artículos revisados artículos consideran el antecedente obstétrico sugestivo de incompetencia cervical como requisito para considerar la prevención con cerclaje, de estos, siete lo consideran indicación única del cerclaje cervical profiláctico y seis consideran este antecedente asociado a disminución de la longitud cervical como indicación del mismo. Los catorce artículos. Conclusiones: en toda paciente con antecedente obstétrico de riesgo se debe valorar la longitud cervical por ecografía cada semana hasta llegar a término, en caso de longitud menor a 25 mm o descenso progresivo de la longitud, se debe realizar cerclaje cervical profiláctico. Se pueden considerar medidas farmacológicas como medida de prevención y en caso de antecedentes de alto riesgo se puede considerar indicación única para cerclaje cervical.
Objectives The true incidence of anaplastic ganglioglioma during pregnancy is extremely rare, very few cases have been reported in the literature. Case presentation This is a report of a case of anaplastic ganglioglioma diagnosed in pregnancy. The patient is a 23-year-old primigravida who presented at 19 weeks of gestation headache and a convulsive episode. Her workup revealed a rare cerebral tumor that progressed to a neurological decline and died during the postpartum period. Conclusions Anaplastic ganglioglioma is an aggressive counterpart of Glial tumors; in pregnancy they are rare and symptoms are nonspecific. The outcome for the mother in this case fatal and a protocol for these cases has not yet been reported.
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.
