Conjoined twin is a rare complication seen in 1% of monochorionic twins and associated with severe morbidity and mortality. It occurs due to a division event at the primitive streak stage of the human embryonic development at about 13-14 days after fertilisation, in monochorionic monoamniotic gestations.  Early prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twin plays a very crucial role in the management and allows appropriate and timely counselling of couple regarding the different modes of management like early termination of pregnancy or continuation of pregnancy with post-natal surgery. Late diagnoses present with difficult options for parents and obstetrician too. Ultrasound plays a very crucial role in diagnosis of conjoined twin. We are reporting a case of 27 years old primigravida referred to our institute at 13 weeks of gestation with ultra-sonographic diagnosis of dicephalus parapagus conjoined twin and further confirmed after termination of pregnancy.

The incidence of urolithiasis is progressively increasing worldwide, as is the surgical treatment of urinary stones. The most frequent surgery for urolithiasis is ureterorenoscopy, which is performed in the lithotomy position. This position is also used in the endoscopic approach to bladder stones. Lateral decubitus is rarely used in the treatment of urinary stones. In the case of complex kidney stones, the gold standard treatment is percutaneous nephrolithotomy. This surgery has traditionally been performed in the prone position. However, the use of the supine (Valdivia) position is increasing in recent times. Furthermore, the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position has been widely used for percutaneous nephrolithotomy since it was described by Ibarluzea et al. in 2007. Treatment of kidney and ureteral stones simultaneously is allowed in both supine positions. In addition, they allow the removal of encrusted stents and the easy placement of double J stents and, in the case of the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position, percutaneous nephrostomies. Compartment syndrome is a rare complication in the lithotomy position, but scarcely described in the supine position. This especially applies to the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position, in which the lower limbs are in moderate flexion, with the ipsilateral lower limb in a slightly lower position relative to the other. This complication can lead to skin necrosis, myoglobinuric renal failure, amputation, permanent neuromuscular dysfunction, and even death. Risk factors include Body Mass Index, male gender, obesity, increased muscle mass, peripheral vascular disease (advanced age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus), height, lack of operative experience, significant bleeding during surgery, hypothermia, acidemia, combination general-spinal anesthesia, prolonged surgical time, systemic hypotension, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) class or vasoconstrictor drugs. Therefore, compartment syndrome of the leg is a potentially devastating complication that must be suspected and treated through early decompression of the compartment by four compartment fasciotomy. Preventive measures reduce the incidence of this condition.

Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following abdominal wall procedures near the artery. This is a case of Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm after therapeutic paracentesis for large volume ascites caused by chronic kidney failure. The patient was operated on, and the artery was ligated.

Screening Colonoscopy

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As such, there are recognized guidelines in the screening of this preventable cancer. There are differences in opinion regarding screening recommendations between the European and United States Cancer Prevention Societies. Screening colonoscopy is an option for routine screening for colorectal cancer in asymptomatic adults. It is a day procedure that is conducted both in hospital and specialized outpatient endoscopy suites. Serious harm is in the region of 3 per 1,000 examinations [Am J Gastroenterol. 2016 Aug; 111(8): 1092–101]. Splenic injury is a rare complication of colonoscopy whose frequency is unclear. Conservative management of splenic injury is desirable in order to preserve immunocompetence. We present a case in which a previously healthy 59-year-old female developed a splenic injury and later pleural effusion after screening colonoscopy.

Laryngopyocele is a rare complication involving the laryngocele which can present with acute airway compromise. A 31-year-old man presented with acute onset respiratory distress and dysphagia. He had swelling on either side of upper aspect of the neck with tenderness on left side. Videolaryngoscopy using 70° rigid Hopkins rod telescope showed a swelling in the left pyriform sinus pushing the ipsilateral vocal cord. However, glottic space was adequate. Contract-enhanced CT scan of the neck confirmed left-sided mixed laryngopyocele with contralateral mixed laryngocele. Patient underwent excision of both the lesions in a single stage by transcervical approach. Laryngopyocele in a case of bilateral mixed laryngocele presenting as an impending airway emergency has not been reported in literature. The diagnostic and therapeutic challenges are discussed here along with review of literature.
