Nabothian cysts are common and silent retention cysts of the uterine cervix with no particular intervention required. It is quite rare to reach a size of more than 4 cm and it is a diagnostic dilemma to differ it from adenoma malignum. We report a case of a woman with 38 weeks of gestation presented to the maternity unit with labour pain and protruding cystic mass (60x70 mm) out of the vagina. Simple drainage was performed to allow the vaginal delivery. She delivered 4130 grams, 9-10 Apgar, male baby by spontaneous vaginal delivery. The patient's and the newborn postpartum course was uneventful. Gynaecologic examination revealed a persisting cystic mass in the cervix (40x50 mm) two months after the delivery. We performed a total excision of the cyst to confirm the pathologic diagnosis. This paper is the first report of nabothian cysts obstructing labour passage. In the view of this case, we aimed to discuss cervical cystic masses and a review of the literature.

Postoperative ileus, the temporary cessation of gastrointestinal motility leading to accumulation of fluid and gas in the bowel, is a common complication following posterior spine fusion (PSF) in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). Abdominal radiographs (KUBs) are often ordered to differentiate between ileus and mechanical obstruction but expose patients to radiation, add cost, and may lead to unnecessary work up. The aim of this study was to determine how often KUBs led to a change in treatment after PSF in patients with NMS.

Cyclophosphamide is not associated with clinically relevant late pulmonary dysfunction in Dutch survivors of childhood cancer - the DCCSS-LATER 2 PULM sub-study.

Background: Treatment for childhood cancer may increase the risk of long-term pulmonary complications and dysfunction. Pulmonary surveillance is recommended after established pulmonary toxic exposures, including bleomycin, busulfan, carmustine (BCNU), lomustine (CCNU), radiotherapy to a field exposing the lungs, and pulmonary surgery. However, the role of cyclophosphamide as a pulmonary toxic agent is debated.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neuromuscular disorder in children, and children with CP are at increased risk of respiratory distress potentially requiring tracheostomy placement. Previous studies have characterized indications for tracheostomy in neurologically compromised children, however no studies focus specifically on children with CP. The purpose of this study was to identify the indications for tracheostomy placement, sites of airway obstruction, and rate of decannulation in children with CP.
