Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon neurological disorder which is characterised by variable symptoms. The transient clinical condition may be underestimated and misdiagnosed as other conditions, especially, among pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, and HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome in the puerperium. We hereby contribute to the literature this rare complication and hightlight the appropriate management of PRES .

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is recognized with partial or complete loss of the second sex chromosome, occurring in approximately one in 2500 live births, and related to high failure of pregnancy. However, along with the advantage of assisted reproductive technology, the cases of TS pregnant women have been recently addressed worldwide. Therefore, the reproductive health of TS pregnant women should be a concern by physicians and obstetricians, particularly, in the low-middle income countries with low-resource settings.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PASDs) increase the mortality rate for mothers and newborns over a decade. Thus, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the neonatal outcomes in emergency cesarean section (CS) and planned surgery as well as in Cesarean hysterectomy and the modified one-step conservative uterine surgery (MOSCUS). The secondary aim is to reveal the factors relating to poor neonatal outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiopulmonary collapse during cesarean sections can lead to serious problems for both mother and fetus, with pulmonary embolism being a rare but significant cause.
  • A case report discusses the successful management of a healthy pregnant woman who experienced a sudden cardiopulmonary collapse during a planned cesarean delivery due to placenta previa, requiring rapid team response and advanced resuscitation techniques.
  • The patient was diagnosed with a thrombus in her pulmonary circulation post-surgery and treated with anticoagulation, recovering well and being discharged without complications, highlighting the need for increased awareness and interdisciplinary cooperation in similar emergencies.

Objectives: To compare maternal outcome measures in surgical management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS)-the modified one-step conservative uterine surgery (MOSCUS), a new approach at Tu Du Hospital in Vietnam, versus cesarean hysterectomy, and to identify factors that appear to contribute to the successful outcome of the MOSCUS.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Tu Du Hospital in southern Vietnam between January 2019 and December 2020. The study enrolled all pregnant women at more than 28 weeks of pregnancy with a diagnosis of PAS who underwent either a cesarean hysterectomy or a uterus-preserving approach using the MOSCUS method.

Background: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) refers to fluid collection in the abdominal cavity with a vague presentation of clinical symptoms. Particularly, SHiP causes a life-threatening condition with the coexistence of intrauterine pregnancy, since this dangerous complication significantly increases the maternal and fetal mortality. Herein, we present two cases of nontraumatic SHiP in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, respectively.

Objective: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PASD) are the leading cause which results in highly maternal mortality during pregnancy. Although hysterectomy has been the gold standard for PASD, the recent study along with our experience has been demonstrated that the association between uterine myometrial resection and transverse B-Lynch suture in conservative management might be effective in the appropriate patients, thus we hereby attempted to determine this issue.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study enrolled 65 patients at Tu Du Hospital in Vietnam between January 2017 and December 2018.

Introduction And Importance: Placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PASD) refer to an uncommon obstetrical conditions leading to significant life-threatening obstetrical issue for mothers and foetus during pregnancy. Rarely, this pathology can occur in the uterus without a history of uterine surgery, localize at unusual site of the uterus, and result in the spontaneous uterine rupture. We herein reported two unusual cases managed successfully in the third trimester of pregnancy at our tertiary referral hospital.
