1/46. Ruptured tuboovarian abscess in late pregnancy. A case report.

    BACKGROUND: Tuboovarian abscess is an unusual obstetric complication that causes maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. CASE: A woman, G1, P0, with a 32-week pregnancy presented with abdominal pain. physical examination on admission revealed fever and unremarkable abdominal signs. Eleven hours after admission, signs of peritonitis became prominent, necessitating emergency laparotomy. Surgical findings included an 8-cm, right, ruptured tuboovarian abscess with massive purulent contamination of the abdominal cavity. Cesarean hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Neither the newborn nor the mother had postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: Since there are discrepancies in the incidences of tuboovarian abscess in pregnant and nonpregnant groups, the pathogenesis of tuboovarian abscess may be different in the two populations. In pregnancy, diagnosis and management are also more difficult than in the nonpregnant state. Clinical data may not reveal the diagnosis until surgery is mandatory. Because most pregnant women with tuboovarian abscesses are young, conservative surgery should be attempted if the pathology is limited to only one side of the adnexa and further reproduction is desired.

2/46. Isolated recurrent torsion of the Fallopian tube: case report.

    We report a rare clinical case of recurrent isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube. An 18 year old woman presented with acute right lower quadrant pain, nausea and vomiting. Torsion of the Fallopian tube was detected by laparoscopy and detorsion was performed. Two years later, a second similar episode of pelvic pain recurred. Having in mind the first episode, diagnosis was facilitated and detorsion was performed in accordance with the patient's wishes. However, the dilemma of ideal management of recurrent cases of torsion of the same tube remains open for discussion. The possibility of torsion of the Fallopian tube and recurrent torsion of the tube, although rare, should be considered in any patient with acute onset of lower abdominal pain.

3/46. Unilateral chronic tuboovarian abscess secondary to ruptured colonic diverticulum presenting as a brain abscess. A case report.

    BACKGROUND: Tuboovarian abscesses (TOAs) are a somewhat unusual finding in postmenopausal patients without risk factors. We present a rare case of unilateral TOA initially presenting as a brain abscess in a postmenopausal woman. CASE: A 61-year-old woman presented with a complaint of forgetfulness, nausea and vomiting, with lower abdominal pain and diarrhea. She was found to have a brain abscess, which was treated by craniotomy, with drainage of the abscess, and intravenous antibiotics. The patient was subsequently found to have a pelvic mass, which, on laparotomy, was a unilateral TOA. pathology demonstrated that the abscess contained vegetable matter consistent with origin in a ruptured diverticulum. CONCLUSION: diagnosis of a brain abscess should prompt a thorough investigation for a primary infectious source, including the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.

4/46. leiomyoma of the fallopian tube.

    Leiomyomas of the fallopian tube are rare. They are typically incidental findings seen at autopsy or unrelated surgical procedures. A 32-year-old woman presented with lower abdominal pain and mass. Transvaginal sonogram and magnetic resonance imaging showed the solid mass at the outside of the uterus. At surgery, the left fallopian tube contained a firm mass with torsion in the area of the ampullary-isthmic junction. The left tube and the infundibulopelvic ligament were rolled in torsion and showed edematous change. We report a rare case in whom torsion of a pedunculated tubal leiomyoma caused abdominal pain.

5/46. Isolated tubal torsion managed laparoscopically.

    Adnexal cystic lesions in women of reproductive age are common. Most are functional ovarian cysts, followed by paraovarian cysts, hydrosalpinx, and adnexal torsion. A 34-year-old woman experienced mild abdominal pain, nausea, and low-grade fever. She received empiric antibiotics in an outpatient clinic after a diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess. After 3 days she was referred to our hospital with no improvement in symptoms or signs. Isolated fallopian tube torsion was diagnosed and successfully treated by laparoscopy. laparoscopy played an important role in making an accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary delays in treatment.

6/46. Combined intrauterine and extrauterine gestation. A rare cause of acute abdominal pain.

    This is the report of a patient, that had without using any assisted reproduction technology (art) the rare event of a heterotopic pregnancy. After verifying the intrauterine pregnancy by ultrasound, the ectopic tubal pregnancy (EP) was detected at an emergency abdominal surgery as the cause of an intraabdominal hemorrhage. After removal the further pregnancy was uncomplicated.

7/46. Postmenopausal tubo-ovarian abscess due to pseudomonas aeruginosa in a renal transplant patient: a case report and review of the literature.

    BACKGROUND: pseudomonas aeruginosa is an uncommon cause of infection in the female genital tract. We report a case of postmenopausal tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) due to P. aeruginosa in a renal transplant recipient. The presentation included mild abdominal symptoms with rapid progression of peritonitis and surgical abscess drainage. This is the first such case in an organ transplant recipient described in the English literature. methods AND RESULTS: Published reports of 1040 cases of TOA were reviewed. The most common features were a history of sexually transmitted disease or pelvic inflammatory disease, and symptoms including abdominal pain and fever. escherichia coli, bacteroides spp., and klebsiella pneumoniae were the most frequently encountered pathogens. neisseria gonorrhoeae and chlamydia trachomatis, which are frequently isolated from cervical cultures, are uncommonly isolated from tubo-ovarian abscesses. Forty percent of patients were treated with antibiotics alone, 18.8% with abdominal surgery, and 32% with surgery and antimicrobial therapy. CONCLUSION: This report illustrates the muted presentation and atypical microbiology of gynecologic infection in an organ transplant recipient.

8/46. Torsion of the fallopian tube in an adolescent female: a case report.

    BACKGROUND: Torsion of the fallopian tube is an infrequent but significant cause of acute lower abdominal pain in adolescent females that is difficult to recognize preoperatively, although prompt diagnosis and timely surgical treatment are vital to salvage the oviduct. CASE REPORT: A 17-yr-old virgin presented with sudden and severe right-sided lower abdominal pain with guarding and tenderness, fever, nausea, and vomiting at mid-cycle. Ultrasound scan showed a right ovarian cyst measuring 3 cm in diameter and a normal appendix. There was no leucocytosis. Presumptive diagnosis was a cystic ovarian follicle with ovulatory pain. Her condition improved but did not resolve with supportive treatment. At laparotomy, the right fallopian tube was twisted completely, distended with blood, and necrotic, with a small fimbrial cyst. The left tube, ovaries, appendix, and uterus were normal. Right salpingectomy was performed. Histologic examination revealed diffuse hemorrhagic infarction of the tube and a cyst of the hydatid of Morgagni. She remains well at follow-up. CONCLUSION: Unless a high index of suspicion is maintained for torsion of the fallopian tube in adolescent females, this disorder may not be detected until after tubal destruction.

9/46. pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected IUD associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. A case report.

    BACKGROUND: While pelvic infection is known to be an infrequent complication of intrauterine device (IUD) use, infections are usually related to microorganisms introduced at the time of insertion or by sexual contact. CASE: We diagnosed a 35-year-old woman with an IUD for 6 years with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and implemented antibiotic therapy. Her clinical course worsened, and exploratory surgery revealed a right tuboovarian abscess with multiple loculated pelvic abscesses. culture of the IUD found heavy growth of pseudomonas aeruginosa. CONCLUSION: P aeruginosa has not previously been described in association with infections of the upper female genital tract. Double coverage with appropriate antipseudomonal agents is essential for proper treatment of pseudomonal infections.

10/46. Actinomycotic tubo-ovarian abscess mimicking pelvic malignancy.

    A 39-year-old multipara was admitted to hospital with lower abdominal pain. She had used an intrauterine device (IUD) for 10 years. Three years ago, her tubes were ligated. Ultrasound examination revealed a 9.5 x 6 cm multiloculated cystic mass in the right part of her lower abdomen. CA-125 was also found to be increased. Since ovarian malignancy was suspected, laparotomy was performed. Pathologically, an actinomycotic tubo-ovarian abscess with sulfur granules was disclosed.
