Systemic Thrombolysis for Treatment of Postpartum Saddle Embolism Complicated by Postpartum Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Brief Literature Review.

Venous thromboembolic events (VTE), specifically pulmonary embolisms, account for a significant portion of maternal morbidity and mortality. Due to the procoagulant physiological changes that occur, pregnancy and the postpartum period are known risk factors for thromboembolic events. The risk is greatest during the first-week postpartum and remains elevated for up to six weeks as compared to the general population.

The management of an ectopic ovary in the inguinal canal: literature review and discussion.

We report the case of a female adolescent who had an ectopic ovary in the inguinal canal without an associated hernia, a unicornuate uterus, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The incidental discovery of the ectopic ovary and other Mullerian anomalies, as well as the surgical correction that followed, highlights important fertility considerations in children and available treatment algorithms for these rare cases.

Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome revisited: imaging and clinical findings in pre- and postpubertal girls.

Background: In 1960 Van Wyk and Grumbach described a syndrome of juvenile hypothyroidism, precocious puberty and ovarian enlargement. These findings undergo complete regression with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This diagnosis can be made on the basis of imaging findings and thyroid function analysis, avoiding surgery.

A large pelvic mass in an adolescent patient with granulomatous nephritis: case report and discussion of treatment challenges.

Background: An adolescent patient with granulomatous nephritis presents with a large, solid pelvic mass. Pertinent differential diagnosis for this solid ovarian mass as well as discussion regarding treatment challenges for this patient is delineated.

Case: A 15-year-old female presented to her primary care doctor with fatigue and syncope.

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome and renal toxicity with a nevirapine-containing regimen in a pregnant patient with human immunodeficiency virus.

Background: Antiretroviral therapy is associated with serious adverse events. We report the case of a pregnant human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected woman who developed drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome and renal failure shortly after initiation of a nevirapine-containing antiretroviral regimen at 27 weeks' gestation.

Case: A 26-year-old primigravida presented with a fever of 40.
