1/2. paraplegia associated with combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia caused by preoperatively unrecognized spinal vertebral metastasis.We describe a case of paraplegia following combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia. It was postoperatively determined that a tumour of the vertebrae which was compressing the spinal cord was responsible for this complication. We suggest that the pre-existing pathology of the spine must be borne in mind as a differential diagnosis of acute postoperative paraplegia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Endometrial cancer thirteen years after total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and hormone replacement therapy: a case report.We have reported a very interesting, rare case of endometrial adenocarcinoma arising from pelvic endometriosis thirteen years after hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, followed with hormone replacement therapy. Our patient presented with history of abnormal vaginal bleeding, which was investigated with abdominal scans, examination under anaesthesia (EUA), and biopsy. histology of which confirmed malignant transformation. We then proceeded to primary excision of all macroscopic tumour and palpable lymph nodes followed with radiotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
