Gossypiboma refers to a retained sponge in the surgical bed. We present a 40- year-old female from Terai region of Nepal presented with long standing abdominal discomfort which on further radiological examination complex adnexal mass was suspected. She had a history of emergency laparotomy for post-partum hemorrhage more than a decade ago. She underwent surgery for suspicious complex adnexal mass. On exploring fiber formed partly degenerated content was revealed, which on histopathology reveal foamy macrophages, degenerated material and fiber strands and finally diagnosis of Gossypioma was made. Prevention of gossypiboma is much better than cure.

Primary Management

Abstract Background: Failure of the primary management at controlling the post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is occasionally encountered. A catastrophic cause of PPH as vagina arterial aneurysms with AVF is rare and not reported in English literature.Case presentations: We present a 34-year-old woman of arterial aneurysms with arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) at bilateral lower vagina causing intractable PPH with aggressive bleeding. By trans-arterial embolization (TAE) the bleeding is successfully controlled, and patient then could recover smoothly.Conclusion: These vascular anomalies being fierce culprit of the PPH would result in primary management failure. Knowledge of the possible etiology of post-partum hemorrhage is crucial for treatment management. This case report aims to point out a pivotal role of TAE at detecting and treating this unusual cause of PPH.

Surgical Emphysema

AbstractObjective:We report a case of post-partum surgical cervical emphysema, which is a rare but well recognised complication of labour. By reporting the first case in the ENT literature, we aim to raise awareness of this complication, particularly amongst trainees, to ensure that patients are managed most appropriately.Case report:A 36-year-old, primigravida woman developed neck swelling and odynophagia post-partum. Surgical cervical emphysema was palpated, with further examination excluding pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. The patient was managed conservatively, with complete resolution of symptoms within a week.Conclusions:Surgical cervical emphysema, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are all well recognised post-partum complications. The vast majority of cases do not present with respiratory or cardiac compromise and can be appropriately managed conservatively, with expectation of resolution in a fortnight. There is no evidence that such patients are at increased risk during subsequent pregnancies.
