Marta Pelicano, Margarida Serôdio and Paula Nunes
Article Type: Clinical Image | Publication Updated: 2024/02/25
Zinner syndrome is indeed a rare congenital condition characterized by urogenital system malformation, specifically involving abnormalities of the mesonephric/Wolffian duct. It typically presents with the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. We present a case of an 8-year-old male child with a prenatal diagnosis of solitary kidney (right renal agenesis) and the subsequent identification of a globose right seminal vesi...

Verrucous hyperplasia is a pre-neoplastic lesion that inevitably progresses to verrucous carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Diagnosis is histological; this lesion may exist alone or as part of the spectrum of lesions described in verrucous leukoplakia. The distinction is based on the endophytic and exophytic growth aspects of the epithelial proliferation: In verrucous carcinoma, in addition to surface projections, there are also extensions of the lesion into the underlying connective tissue t...

Uterine Rupture: A Distressing Catalyst for Severe Postpartum Hemorrhage
Chirag Sharma and Hina Patel
Article Type: Case Report | Publication Updated: 2024/02/29
Uterine rupture is a disruption of the uterine scar, causing foetal expulsion into the peritoneal cavity. This condition, primarily caused by the separation of uterine scar tissue from previous caesarean surgery, reduces foetal survival and increases maternal morbidity and mortality. A 32-year-old woman with a history of four vaginal deliveries and one caesarean section was diagnosed with uterine rupture, leading to a laparotomy procedure and obstetric hysterectomy. Consistent antenatal care can...

Article Type: Case Report | Publication Updated: 2024/03/01
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a most common hereditary genetic, X-linked defect of red blood cells (RBC) enzyme disorder in humans. Clinical manifestations commonly seen are neonatal jaundice, acute hemolytic or chronic non-spherocytic anemia. Acute hemolysis poses a perioperative challenge in management for anesthesiologists and the surgeons. Peripheral nerve block as well as general anaesthesia is a popular and safe anesthesia technique....

A Questionnaire-Based Survey of Perioperative Utilisation of Ultrasound among Anaesthesiology Residents
Pharanitharan Natarajan and Chandini Kukanti
Article Type: Original Article | Publication Updated: 2024/02/29
Ultrasonography (USG) is a resourceful tool in the perioperative period. A structured training curriculum during residency can enhance the utilisation of USG among residents. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted to evaluate the utilisation of USG in the perioperative period and to assess the adequacy of current training. It was found that although the availability of USG has increased, its use in the perioperative period is limited due to various factors such as time constraints. The...
