Haemophilia-A is a rare, X-linked recessive inherited disease affects males and females are carrier results in prolonged bleeding after minor injuries, procedures or surgery. Spontaneous or recurrent bleeding may occur in deep muscles, joints but intracranial haemorrhage can be dangerous. Women with a family history of bleeding disorder, personal history of bleeding (menorrhagia, mucous membrane, postoperative bleeding and PPH) or a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) should be screened for haemophilia by measuring coagulation factor VIII level during hospital visits for these reason or antenatal care (ANC).

Context: Human and animal data suggest that low vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) status is associated with impaired fertility, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Vitamin D regulates antimullerian hormone (AMH), FSH, mRNA, and expression of genes in reproductive tissues, implicating a role in female reproduction.

Aims: To study the vitamin D levels in infertile females and to know the correlation of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) with serum AMH in infertile females compare to fertile females.

Intracranial meningioma during pregnancy challenges the skill of obstetricians, neurosurgeons and neuroanesthesiologists in resection of the tumor and to secure delivery of the baby. Advances in fetal and maternal monitoring, neuroanesthesia, and microsurgical techniques allow safe neurosurgical management of these patients. Urgent neurosurgical intervention is reserved for the management of malignancies, active hydrocephalus, and benign brain tumors associated with signs of impending herniation or progressive neurological deficit.
