Laparoscopic Management of Unruptured Cornual Ectopic Pregnancy in a 22-Year-Old Primigravida: A Case Report.

Cornual ectopic pregnancy, though rare, presents significant challenges in diagnosis and management. This case report details the clinical presentation and successful treatment of a 22-year-old primigravida experiencing symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, ultimately diagnosed with an unruptured left cornual ectopic pregnancy. Employing a multidisciplinary approach involving clinical suspicion, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) measurements, and transvaginal ultrasound findings, we underscored the importance of timely intervention to avert adverse outcomes. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial salpingectomy, resulting in minimal intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications. Our experience highlights the effectiveness of laparoscopic intervention in managing cornual ectopic pregnancy and underscores the necessity of tailoring treatment strategies to individual patient circumstances. By adhering to established guidelines and advancing research efforts, we can further enhance outcomes for patients grappling with this challenging condition. This case emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis, prompt intervention, and ongoing vigilance in the management of cornual ectopic pregnancies.

Moyamoya Disease with Non-Functional Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report of a Rare Presentation.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare neurological condition characterized by brain blood vessel narrowing, leading to collateral vessel formation. Diagnosis typically involves cerebral angiography and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), with surgical revascularization often providing superior outcomes. Here, we present the case of a 55-year-old woman with hypertension, diabetes, and a history of ischemic stroke. She recently experienced a hemorrhagic stroke due to MMD, compounded by a non-functional pituitary macroadenoma. Recognizing signs of a hemorrhagic stroke is crucial to prevent future occurrences and ensure optimal outcomes. However, our understanding of the connection between MMD and pituitary macroadenoma remains incomplete. Further research is essential to refine diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies. Through continued research and awareness, we can strive for improved outcomes and an enhanced quality of life for individuals affected by MMD and its complications.

Co-occurrence of Tuberculous Meningitis and Intestinal Perforation in Abdominal Tuberculosis (TB): A Report of a Rare Case From Pakistan.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, with millions affected worldwide each year. Extrapulmonary TB, particularly involving the digestive tract and central nervous system, poses distinctive difficulties in both diagnosis and treatment. We report a case involving a 15-year-old girl with a history of intestinal TB on anti-tuberculous therapy who presented with symptoms suggestive of meningitis, along with abdominal pain and distension. Our initial suspicion was tuberculous meningitis, considering the underlining abdominal TB, which was later supported by cerebrospinal fluid analysis showing lymphocytic-predominant pleocytosis and positive acid-fast bacilli staining. Concurrently, the patient developed hemodynamic instability and severe abdominal pain, which on repeat X-rays of the abdomen showed air under the diaphragms, prompting surgical exploration and revealing multiple ileal perforations. Histopathological examination confirmed TB as the cause of perforation. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic complexities of concurrent tuberculous meningitis and intestinal TB perforation. Early recognition and interdisciplinary management are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
