Intra-peritoneal rupture or perforation into adjacent abdominal viscera is a rare complication of benign cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst) of the ovary. We report a 48-year-old woman in whom an ovarian dermoid cyst perforated into a loop of the small bowel. The patient had co-existing typhoid fever,
Spontaneous ruptures of dermoid cysts are a rare occurrence due to their thick capsules. This is the first systematic review on spontaneously ruptured dermoid cysts. A comprehensive literature search was performed from PubMed, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE. The cases were analysed for patient
OBJECTIVE
To compare the operative and postoperative course in patients undergoing laparoscopy for dermoid cyst to that observed in subjects with other types of ovarian masses and of patients undergoing laparotomy for teratomas.
METHODS
Retrospective analysis. From 1994 to 1996, 49 women underwent
We report a case of granulomatous peritonitis which occurred following laparoscopic exeresis of a dermoid cyst of the ovary performed together with medically induced abortion. The peritoneal cavity was contaminated when the cyst ruptured during the procedure emptying sebum and hairs in the
The nonoperative management of sylvian fissure dermoid/epidermoid cysts presents a risk that is difficult to quantify. With rupture, potentially fatal complications such as chemical meningitis, hydrocephalus, fever, seizure, or meningeal irritation may occur. In this paper, we present an
We outline the narrative of a 28-year-old woman who initially presented to the emergency department with vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and fever. Blood tests revealed significantly raised inflammatory markers and acute renal failure. Initially, this was attributed to gastroenteritis due to a
BACKGROUND
Split cord malformation (SCM) is typically present at a single level but rarely, may be present at multiple levels in the spinal cord and can be associated with a wide array of lesions such as myelomeningoceles, lipomas, teratomas, and dermal sinus tracts (DSTs).
METHODS
We describe a
A 39-year-old nulliparous woman experienced continuous mild fever and abdominal pain since undergoing laparoscopic ovarian dermoid cystectomy 3 months previously in a local hospital. Abdominal computed tomography revealed diffuse heterogeneous fat infiltrations with numerous micronodules in the
Intramedullary dermoid cyst is a rare entity. It is usually associated with spinal dysraphism and dermal sinus. Our case is an 18-months-old female child who presented with history of fever and mild difficulty in moving left leg. She had a sinus in mid dorsal spine since birth with history of
A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with acute brucellosis. Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy, high fever persisted. A contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a left ovarian dermoid cyst. On the first postoperative day after left ovariectomy and right ovarian cystectomy
We present super infection of an ovarian dermoid cyst with actinomyces in an infertile patient. This is a case-report study for evaluation a couple with male factor infertility, who was a good candidate for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), while a 10 cm dermoid cyst was found in the woman's
Laparoscopic treatment of benign cystic teratoma of the ovary has been recommended following the study of relatively small numbers of patients. We reviewed our experience with a prospective ongoing protocol for the treatment of benign ovarian teratomas, between January 1990 and December 1996.
The authors report a case of an ovarian abscess presenting as acute sciatica with pyrexia in a 36-years-old woman with an intrauterine contraceptive device. Imaging (plain X-ray of abdomen and CT scan) was clear-cut, showing an air pocket as a result of abscess formation and dental calcifications
A 17-year-old boy was admitted to hospital with a history of backache, weakness of the lower extremities and fever. While the diagnosis of brucellosis was made his clinical course worsened. Acute medulla spinalis mass effect and signs of meningitis predominated. It was shown that he had a dermoid
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopy in pregnancy can endanger the fetus. It is now being reexamined because of our experience with complex operative procedures and new laparoscopic equipment.
METHODS
A decision was made to perform laparoscopy instead of laparotomy for a pelvic mass in a pregnant woman. The
