Fornix rupture during pregnancy is rare. To be able to initiate the optimal therapy it is important to distinguish the spontaneous fornix rupture from the rupture caused by an obstruction. We report on a patient in the 18th week of pregnancy with strong flank pain on the left side. By means of MR urography the diagnosis of a left fornix rupture due to an obstructive stone could be made. A double-J catheter was placed in the left ureter and the patient received oral antibiotics.

- Extravasation of urine from a forniceal rupture at the pelviureteric junction is a rare complication that can lead to significant issues.
- The case study focuses on a 50-year-old man who showed signs of peritonitis, diagnosed via abdominal CT scan as retroperitoneal peritonitis from the rupture.
- This situation highlights the unusual occurrence of pyonephrosis accompanied by peritonitis and pyoperitoneum, potentially linked to underlying bladder cancer.

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM), with a prevalence of 15.3% in China, frequently results in adverse pregnancy outcomes. In this study, we aimed to identify amino acid metabolites that were differentially expressed in PROM versus healthy controls (HC) using targeted metabolomics and further explored their mechanisms of action with in vitro models.

Objective: This study examined the efficacy of pulling down the cervix and packing it in the vaginal fornix (PC-PVF) on postpartum hemorrhage in the lower uterine segment (PPH-LUS).
Methods: All cases of PPH-LUS after vaginal delivery at two tertiary hospitals between January 2019 and December 2022 were retrospectively investigated. Patients treated successfully with conservative measures were divided into routine treatment only (40 patients), routine treatment + early PC-PVF (33 patients), and routine treatment + late PC-PVF (51 patients) groups.
