We report a rare case that can be classified as prune-belly syndrome in a female. This patient came to our attention during the 19th week of gestation when massive ascites was found by ultrasound and the mother was transferred to our hospital. After birth, it was demonstrated that the infant had complicated anomalies, including abdominal muscular hypoplasia, urogenital sinus, a single, right-sided vaginal ectopic ureter, and hypoplasia of the right kidney. A sibling had a right hypoplastic kidney and right vesicoureteral reflux. Considering the combination of anomalies and the family history of urinary tract disease, her anomalies could be attributed to a genetic mutation.

A rare spontaneous triplet heterotopic pregnancy occurred in a patient using emergency contraception. This highlights the need to consider heterotopic pregnancy in differential diagnoses for patients presenting with abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, even with detected intrauterine pregnancies, especially after failed emergency contraception, necessitating thorough laboratory and ultrasonographic diagnostic work-up.

Vulvovaginal enterobiasis is underreported and an often-missed diagnosis in prepubertal girls presenting with isolated nocturnal vulvar pruritus. An 8-year-old-girl with intense nocturnal vulvar itching for 4 months was diagnosed with enterobiasis after microscopy of a vaginal swab revealed Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) ova. The child and her family were treated with two doses of oral albendazole, 2 weeks apart, resulting in symptom resolution.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the impact of a woman's previous cesarean delivery (CD) on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes for subsequent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and single frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET), compared with vaginal delivery (VD).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that included a total of 5817 patients who desired to transfer a single vitrified-thawed blastocyst from the same oocyte retrieval cycle as their last live birth between January 2011 and January 2021 at a single reproductive medicine center. Patients with a single previous CD were classified in the CD group, while those with a single VD were assigned to the VD group.
