RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Uterine prolapse is extremely rare during pregnancy. However in some cases significant complications may develop. We report a case of uterine prolapse which developed during pregnancy. Our case was managed conservatively and there were no fetal or maternal complications. Postnatally the uterine prolapse recovered spontaneously. Early recognition and close follow-up during pregnancy is essential. Successful pregnancy outcome requires individualized treatment but bed rest should always be considered.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare structural defect, usually diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. We present here a case of left-sided diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed at 12 weeks of gestation and a short review of published reports on first trimester diagnosis of this defect. Ultrasound diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia cases, with early herniation of the viscera in the thorax, is feasible during the first trimester. The prerequisite is the systematic examination of the fetal anatomy. Hallmarks of the diagnosis, in the first trimester as well as later in pregnancy, are the presence of the stomach, bowel or liver in the chest, and the shift of the mediastinum. Early diagnosis of this defect is essential. This will allow timely intervention and appropriate management, following extensive parental counseling.
