Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy in an Accessory Horn of Uterus: A Case Report.

A unicornuate uterus with an accessory horn is one of the rarest congenital uterine anomalies; hence, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in the accessory uterine horn is highly uncommon. It poses a significant risk to maternal life, as it is difficult to identify before surgery due to the severe hemoperitoneum in the event of rupture of the ectopic pregnancy. We report a case of a 20-year-old primigravida who presented to the emergency department of Civil Hospital Karachi, with sudden onset of generalized abdominal pain, vomiting, and dizziness at 17 weeks of gestation.

Fungal Cervical Abscess Complicated by Necrotizing Fasciitis Leading to Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis: A Case Report.

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a rapidly spreading deep neck infection with a high mortality rate if left untreated. The occurrence of necrotizing infections in the head and neck region is uncommon; therefore, it is a rare cause of chest pain presenting to the emergency department. Here, we present an interesting case of fungal cervical skin abscess complicated by necrotizing fasciitis that progressed to involve the mediastinum, causing necrotizing mediastinitis with pneumomediastinum in an elderly female.
