摘要:

Bacterial endocarditis in pregnancy is uncommon but serious. A case is presented of subacute bacterial endocarditis with severe aortic and mitral valvular insufficiency and with associated multiple systemic and cerebral emboli. Therapy consisted of cesarean section at 33 weeks' gestation followed by aortic and mitral valve replacement; there was no maternal or fetal mortality. The English literature on infective endocarditis complicating pregnancy is reviewed.

摘要:

This case study of a sclerosing stromal tumor of the ovary in a 29-year-old woman demonstrates that the tumor was a functioning lesion that secreted estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Clinically, there was anovulation with resultant infertility, which was resistant to therapy with clomiphene citrate. Removal of the tumor was followed by reversal of these abnormalities.

摘要:

A rare case of osseous metaplasia of the endocervix and endometrium is discussed with both macroscopic and microscopic evidence of new bone formation in the uterus. History of menstrual irregularities, repeated abortions, in- fertility with histopathologic evidence of chronic inflammation, and bone formation may be evident in these cases. Various theories of the pathogenesis of benign uterine bone formation are discussed.

摘要:

Complete duplication of the uterus and cervix with a unilaterally imperforate vagina must be suspected when a unilateral pelvic mass terminates in a purpuric bulge of the lateral vaginal wall in a young woman with severely progressive dysmenorrhea. Intravenous pyelography will reveal renal agenesis ipsilateral to the imperforate vagina. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of this unusual anomaly should lead to transvaginal drainage of the retained menstrual fluids prior to irreversible damage of the pelvic viscera from chronic cryptomenorrhea.

摘要:

The case of a 17-year-old girl with mullerian agenesis, hypoplasia of the distal extremities, unusual dermatoglyphic findings, and mottled skin pigmentation is reported. The family history indicates that the maternal grandmother's sisters were similarly affected with mullerian agenesis, suggesting a dominant gene with variable penetrance in this family.
