RESUMO
Adnexal torsion is a common gynecological emergency and a significant cause of acute pelvic pain in women. Hydrosalpinx-induced torsion of the adnexa is a rare situation and requires prompt and accurate management. Twenty-three years old nulliparous woman admitted in our structure for acute pelvic pain. The ultrasound revealed an enlarged right ovary with an adnexal cystic mass. We suspected the diagnosis of a right adnexal torsion due to cystic ovarian mass. Laparotomy revealed torsion of the right adnexa and a second large mass appearing to be a hydrosalpinx. Diagnosis of adnexal torsion is difficult and is based on a range of arguments obtained by anamnesis, clinical examination, ultrasonography and other investigations. Early diagnosis is important for preserving tubal and ovarian function, given the risk of ovarian necrosis in young women. Laparoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing and treating adnexal torsion. The treatment can be conservative or radical, consisting of detorsion of the twisted adnexa, with or without adnexectomy.
RESUMO
Pelvic or pelviperineal cellulitis is a rare but serious complication of bartholinitis and can be life-threatening. It is described of polymicrobial nature. The diagnosis of pelvic cellulitis remains essentially clinical with signs of local inflammation. The interest of imaging, CT in particular, is to assess the extent of the infection and abcess. In this report, we describe 2 cases of pelvic cellulitis complicating a bartholin's abscess caused by negative gram bacilli in 2 diabetic women in their sixties.
RESUMO
A 54-years-old woman suffered from a bilateral pelvic and lumbar pain. She had a systemic investigation shows a diffuse bone lesions. A biopsy of iliac bone was done and revealed sarcoidosis. Bony manifestations of sarcoidosis are rare and challenging to diagnose. Our report shows that MRI with diffusion weighted sequences is a simple and non invasive technique to evaluate bone infiltration. It helps to distinguish inflammatory disease from metastatic lesions and to guide the osseous biopsy. Moreover, fluorodeoxyglucose PET scan, are useful in establishing the extent of damage and measuring disease activity.
RESUMO
We report the case of a 23 year old female admitted for management of infection by the SARS-COV-2. The chest CT found a spontaneous pneumomediastinum that resorbed over 7 days with a good clinical outcome. We will discuss the mechanism underlying the occurrence of spontaneous pneumomediastinum during a COVID-19 pneumonia.
