Endometriosis-associated massive ascites in a young Nigerian lady
We report a 31-year-old nulligravida with progressive abdominal swelling, worsening dysmenorrhea, weight loss and a family history of ovarian tumour. Pelvic ultrasonography and Computed Tomography scans suggested an ovarian mass suspected to be an ovarian malignancy. Exploratory laparotomy revealed massive haemorrhagic ascites (8.6 litre) and multiple nodular masses on the anterior abdominal wall, omentum, bowel and pelvic organs, which were biopsied and confirmed on histopathology to be endometriosis. She had drainage of ascites and hormonal suppression using progestogen (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) with no recurrence in...

A rare cause of intestinal obstruction: right paraduodenal hernia
This article aimed to present the diagnosis and treatment process of a 47-year-old male presenting with acute abdomen symptoms by evaluating retrospectively with the accompaniment of literature. During the abdominal exploration of the patient, nearly all of the intestines were observed to be herniated from the right paraduodenal region to the posterior area. The opening of the hernial sac was repaired primarily by reducing the intestinal bowel loops into the intraperitoneal region. The patient undergoing anastomosis by performing resection of the ischemic part after reduction of herniated bowel loops was discharged unevent...

Successful management of an advanced interstitial ectopic pregnancy in a resource-limited setting: a case report
ConclusionInterstitial pregnancies are uncommon and rarely attain advanced gestational ages, as in this case, compared with other tubal ectopic pregnancies. However, women presenting with signs of hypovolemic shock and acute abdomen, with a positive pregnancy test, warrant a high index of suspicion. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)
