In the absence of red cell alloimmunization, hydrops fetalis is nonimmune (NHIF) and affects approximately 1 in 2000 pregnancies.\u0000Case presentation: A 33-year-old primigravida presented to the high-risk clinic for further management following an abnormal obstetric scan. Her antenatal follow-up was uneventful. She was blood group O, and rhesus positive. Physical examination was unremarkable. Abdominal examination revealed a fundal height of 32 weeks, which corresponded to  her date. The first obstetric scan performed in the third trimester revealed a live baby with features of hydrops fetalis. Management included couple counseling, multidisciplinary discussion with a fetomaternal specialist, dexamethasone injection for  fetal lung maturation, and expectant management.\u0000Discussion: The parents agreed to keep the pregnancy to term and plan for vaginal and cesarian deliveries reserved for obstetric indications. Nonimmune hydrops fetalis is associated with severe perinatal morbidity and significant maternal risk. The main causes of NIHF are chromosomal, fetal infection, and fetal cardiovascular problems.\u0000Conclusion: NIHF is rare, and a high index of suspicion is required for antenatal diagnosis. This affords parents tailored information and choices and supports multidisciplinary care with the additional aim of recognizing cases where fetal therapy may be appropriate, including timing for delivery. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":517202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Eastern and Central Africa","volume":"32 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139964201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PPH, defined as blood loss of more than 500 ml, is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide, accounting for 27% of maternal deaths. The WHO published “Recommendations for the Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage” in 2012 to provide evidence-informed recommendations for managing PPH. However, adherence to these recommendations is currently limited by several challenges, including poor maternal care where despite guideline dissemination, many health care providers (HCPs) do not provide effective care such as proper monitoring of vital signs which is key in hemodynamic assessments that can prompt early intervention. The E-MOTIVE trial supported 14 health facilities in Kenya, 7 intervention and 7 control sites. The trial introduced a blood loss monitoring chart to support HCPs in assessing women after delivery of the placenta and enabling early detection and treatment of PPH.\u0000Methods: Blood loss monitoring tool/Trigger chart was developed by the University of Birmingham. This tool was implemented in seven hospitals in Kenya with the capacity for comprehensive emergency obstetric care, including blood transfusion and cesarean delivery. In these hospitals, labor, delivery, and postpartum care are primarily provided by nurse-midwives and students. More senior clinicians, including medical officers and consultant physicians such as obstetrician, gynecologists and pediatricians, make periodic rounds and are available on-call to assist in emergencies. Data were collected from August 2021 to December 2021. Observations were conducted by the trial implementation midwives with the support of the on-site research midwives for two weeks in each of the study hospitals. Observations occurred 24 hours a day. Patients were observed from the second stage up to two hours after placental delivery. All data were collected on paper forms and then entered into a digital database using RedCap.\u0000Results: A total of 734 deliveries were observed cumulatively during the study period. All women received four clinical observations within the first hour using the blood loss monitoring chart. The frequency of observing blood loss in the calibrated drapes during monitoring by HCPs was 94%. There was 100% detection of PPH using the blood loss monitoring chart.\u0000Conclusion: Efforts to increase the rates of early PPH detection and treatment should emphasize improvements in the quality of care, with a particular focus on PPH blood loss monitoring. The blood loss monitoring chart is easy to use and can be easily adopted and scaled in low-resource settings. ","PeriodicalId":517202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Eastern and Central Africa","volume":"362 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139894721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On admission, with severe preeclampsia and type 1 fetal growth restriction, thepatient received labetalol, nifedipine, magnesium sulfate, and antenatal steroids. After two days ofhospitalization, she was discharged home to be closely monitored as an outpatient. She was readmittedwith severe hypertension and developed abruptio placenta with fetal death. Following labor induction, thepatient had significant antepartum hemorrhage necessitating an emergency hysterotomy.Intraoperatively, she had postpartum hemorrhage refractory to uterotonics with a Couvelaire uterus.Hemostasis was achieved using B-Lynch brace sutures. She developed hemolysis, elevated liverenzyme and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome and acute kidney injury. She was transfused withpacked red cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. Hemodynamically unstable, she was admitted to thecritical care unit and later stepped down to ward status and allowed home.Conclusion: Abruptio placenta is a clinical diagnosis, and a high index of suspicion is required becauseprompt action may be lifesaving.

They include benign and aggressive tumors, such as invasive moles, choriocarcinomas, placental site trophoblastic tumors, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumors. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) mostly occur in women of reproductive age, whereas it is extremely rare in postmenopausal women.\u0000Case presentation: A 54-year-old woman presented with prolonged bleeding, abdominal fullness, and pelvic mass with a history of a missed abortion two months prior to the onset of the symptoms and was medically managed. Her general and systemic examination findings were unremarkable. On abdominal examination, the uterus was 14 weeks in size. On speculum examination, the cervix and vagina were normal. On bimanual examination, the uterus was 14 weeks, mobile, and the adnexa were normal. Investigations included serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging, and chest computed tomography. Her initial hCG was 179,000 mIu/ml with a bulky uterus and endometrial mass of approximately 6 cm and multiple bilateral chest metastatic nodules. The patient was scored as stage III:10 and started on etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin alternating with cyclophosphamide, and vincristine (EMACO). She received 11 cycles of EMACO. Her management included repeated transfusions, granulocyte-stimulating factors administration, and ICU admission.\u0000Discussion: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia accounts for rare gynecological malignancies in postmenopausal women. The risk of GTD progressing to GTN is 5% in younger women and five-fold higher (27%) after 45 years.\u0000Conclusion: GTN is a rare gynecological malignancy in postmenopausal women. The presentation mimics other gynecological malignancies. Hence, a high index of suspicion is required. Histopathological confirmation is mostly unavailable. It carries a poor prognosis compared with younger women with a high incidence of metastatic, recurrent, and low tolerance to standard multi-agent chemotherapeutic drugs.","PeriodicalId":517202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Eastern and Central Africa","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139964169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aggressive angiomyxomas aredistinguished from superficial angiomyxomas by their propensity for local recurrence and metastaticpotential. Superficial angiomyxomas occur almost exclusively in women of reproductive age. Widesurgical resection is the treatment of choice.Case presentation: A 25-year-old para 1+1 presented with a mass on the vulva that had been increasingin size over one month. Examination revealed a mushroom-like, verrucous mass on the left labia majorawith a raw surface measuring approximately 4 cm in diameter with a 2-cm stalk. It was easily bleeding ontouch and slightly tender. Biopsies were taken, and histology revealed features of superficialangiomyxoma. The patient consented to wide excision of the vulval mass. The mass was excisedtogether with approximately 1.5 cm skin margin around it and a 2 cm depth of the underlying fatty base. Afinal histological diagnosis of superficial angiomyxoma was made. The patient was followed up for threemonths with no recurrence.Conclusion: Superficial angiomyxomas are rare benign tumors of the subcutaneous tissue that occuralmost exclusively in women of reproductive age. They present as slow-growing masses on the ear,trunk, and perineum.
