[An uncommon complication of unsafe induced abortion: bowel prolapse through uterine perforation].

The authors report one case of bowel prolapse through uterus following induced abortion. The eviscerated bowel was completely gangrenous, devoided from its mesentery and entrapped in the uterus wall. The treatment was a bowel resection and ileo-ileum anastomosis; the uterus was evacuated of retained products of conception and then sutured.

Tuberculosis of the cervix and infertility: report of a rare case.

Tubercolosis is a frequent bacterial infection in less developed countries. Lung and lymph node localisations are common, while the genital apparatus is less involved. In this work a rare case of cervical tuberculosis followed by some lesions causing infertility in a 20-year-old woman is reported.

[Frequency of cord prolapse: etiological factors and fetal prognosis in 47 cases in a health center].

Unlabelled: Cord prolapse constitute an imprevisible accident of the period of labor and an important cause of perinatal mortality. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of cord prolapse, its etiological factors and to evaluate fetal prognosis.

Material And Methods: Our study was done in the department of obstetric and gynecology of the Treichville university teaching hospital.

Uterine torsion with maternal death: our experience and literature review.

Torsion of the gravid uterus around its cervical junction is a rare event especially in humans. In 1992, a literature review by Jensen, mentioned by Carbonne, showed 212 cases with different etiologies. Uterine torsion is more frequently dextrorotatory (2/3 of cases).

[ Hypoxia of the fetus and neonate of a diabetic mother. Importance of hemorheologic anomalies].

Death in utero (or immediately following birth) of children of diabetic mothers remains rather mysterious. Next to abnormalities of carbohydrates metabolism, hypoxia appears to be a determining factor of the frailty of children of diabetic mothers. Now, the so called "hemorheologic" alterations, which means the difficulties derived from the blood discharge by increased viscosity, represent a cause of hypoxia as well as an aggravating factor of hypoxia.
