INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous tendon rupture (STR) is one of the complications related to hyperparathyroidism. This study aims to verify this and to elucidate the feasibility of combined incidence rate of STR and bony fracture to assess clinical management of renal bone disease in dialysis cohort.

METHOD: This is a clinical audit of cases of STR and fracture with 5504 patient-year dialysis vintage over 10 years. In order to verify the risk factor, comparison of cases of tendon rupture, the gender, and dialysis vintage matched patients without tendon rupture were done, followed by comparison with post-parathyroidectomy patients.

RESULT: Six cases of STR involving eight tendons were identified, including a case of concurrent tendon rupture and bony fracture. These include two cases of double tendons ruptures. During this time, there were 15 cases of bony fracture without tendon rupture. The overall incidence rate for STR and fracture was of 0.0011 and 0.0029 incidence per year of dialysis vintage or one case per 917 and 344 patient-year dialysis vintage, respectively. For patients with PTH ≥ 600 pg/mL, the incidence rate of tendon rupture and fracture was 0.0199 and 0.0430 incidence per person-years or one case per 50 and 23 person-years, respectively. For patients with PTH 5202 and 1734 person-years. There was significant difference for incidence rates of tendon rupture and fracture between these two groups, with six incidences of tendon rupture per 302 patient-dialysis-years of PTH ≥ 600 pg/mL versus 0 incidence per 5202 patient-year dialysis vintage of PTH 600 pg/mL had high risk of tendon rupture and bony fracture. Parathyroidectomy might reduce the risk of tendon rupture and fracture with lowering ALP signifying reduction in bone turn over. Combined incidence rate of tendon rupture and fracture could be used to assess the control of hyperparathyroidism related issues in dialysis center.

PMID: 14556339

A case of spontaneous rupture of uterine artery in the second trimester of pregnancy is described. Haemorrhage from rupture of uterine artery during pregnancy was discovered at laparotomy. This was an unusual but serious complication of pregnancy. This condition is extremely rare and one must consider it in cases of incomprehensible abdominal pain with or without haemodynamic collapse. A review of the literature revealed only four similar cases so far. This pregnancy continued till 37 weeks pregnancy and had a spontaneous vaginal delivery. Immediate institution of effective resuscitative measures and early surgical intervention were essential to both foetal and maternal survival.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) caused imminent acute infection of respiratory tract known as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Complications of hepatobiliary system especially liver often found in post-acute COVID-19 patients. However, there are only few studies specifically discussing about liver abscess in patients who had history of contracted COVID-19. We present a case of a 54-years-old gentleman with no previous medical illness and no history of vaccination, who was presented with ruptured liver abscess post COVID-19 infection Category 4 (symptomatic with lung infection and the need of oxygen supplementation). Percutaneous drainage was performed to drain the abscess and collections.

Ruptured renal angiomyolipoma in pregnancy is uncommon. Pregnant women may present with nonspecific symptoms such as flank or abdominal pain, contraction pain and haematuria. A thorough assessment is needed to reach the correct diagnosis. Management varies between conservative measures, radiological intervention or surgery depending on the patient's haemodynamic status and foetal condition. We present a case of a woman in her 30s, gravida 5 para 3+1 at 28 weeks of gestation, who presented with pain. The pain worsened, and she went into hypovolaemic shock. An exploratory laparotomy and emergency caesarean section were done. Retroperitoneal haematoma was found intraoperatively, but the source of bleeding was difficult to determine. An abdominal CT angiogram subsequently revealed an ongoing bleeding from a ruptured angiomyolipoma. An emergency nephrectomy was performed, and the bleeding was secured.

Spontaneous bladder perforation secondary to tuberculosis (TB) is very rare. Only three cases have been reported so far in the literature. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis of spontaneous bladder perforation is often missed. Confirmation of TB via culture takes a long time and starting empirical treatment for TB is necessary. We relate our experience with a young woman who presented with clinical features of a perforated appendix and was only diagnosed with bladder perforation during laparotomy. She also had distal right ureteral stricture and left infundibular stenosis. The provisional diagnosis of TB was attained via typical histopathological features and a positive Mantoux test. She was started empirically on anti-TB treatment and recovered without any complications. Urine culture after 6 weeks confirmed the diagnosis of TB.

PMID: 32776917 DOI: 10.12659/AJCR.924894

BACKGROUND Uterine rupture is uncommon but when it happens, it can cause significant morbidity and mortality to both mother and fetus. Incidence reportedly is higher in scarred than in unscarred uteri. Most cases occur in laboring women in their third trimester with a previous history of uterine surgery, such as caesarean delivery or myomectomy. We present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture in a non-laboring uterus in the mid-trimester of pregnancy. CASE REPORT The patient presented with threatened miscarriage at 17 weeks' gestation and ultrasound findings were that raised suspicion of a morbidly adherent placenta. Her history was significant for two previous cesarean deliveries more than 5 years ago followed by two spontaneous complete miscarriages in the first trimester. The patient was managed conservatively until 20 weeks' gestation, when she presented with acute abdomen with hypotensive shock. Her hemoglobin dropped to a level such that she required blood transfusion. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed, which revealed a 5-cm rupture in the lower part of the anterior wall of the uterus, out of which there was extrusion of part of the placenta. Given the patient's massive bleeding, the decision was made to proceed with subtotal hysterectomy. Histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of placenta percreta. CONCLUSIONS Identification of uterine scarring with morbidly adherent placenta is crucial because even in early pregnancy, it can lead to uterine rupture. Furthermore, failure to recognize and promptly manage uterine rupture may prove fatal.

Rare postpartum ruptured degenerated fibroid: a case report

Tan YL, Naidu A

J Obstet Gynaecol Res, 2014 May;40(5):1423-5.

PMID: 24689652 DOI: 10.1111/jog.12334

Spontaneous rupture of uterine fibroid is rarely encountered. We present a case of a 31-year-old who presented with acute abdominal pain at 9 weeks postpartum. On examination, the abdomen had diffuse tenderness, with rebound tenderness in the suprapubic area and in both iliac fossae. On ultrasonography, a 12.7 × 8.6 × 8.9-cm sized hyperechoic mass was visible on the posterior wall of the uterus. A large amount of fluid was visible in the paracolic gutters and the Pouch of Douglas (POD). The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy. A ruptured, cystic degenerated uterine fibroid with active bleeding was found, as well as approximately half a liter of free, bloodstained peritoneal fluid and pus. Myomectomy was performed, followed by evacuation of the fluid and clots. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. In conclusion, preoperative diagnosis of a perforated, uterine fibroid with spontaneous intra-abdominal hemorrhage is difficult; exploratory laparotomy is both diagnostic and therapeutic in this rare, life-threatening condition.

Hypermature cataracts are commonly seen in developing countries. Spontaneous rupture of the anterior capsule, resulting in dislocation of the lens nucleus into the anterior chamber, presents rarely in hypermature cataracts. We describe a middle-aged woman who presented with spontaneous anterior dislocation of the nucleus in both eyes. The presence of calcification spots in the posterior capsule at the pupillary edge strongly suggested that our patient had hypermature cataracts. It is important to highlight this uncommon cause of nucleus dislocation in a patient with no previous history of ocular trauma.

PMID: 25893055 MyJurnal

Tendon rupture is a rare complication that occurs in patients receiving corticosteroid therapy. We report a case of a middle-aged man with mixed connective tissue disease who presented with spontaneous biceps tendon rupture 5 weeks after initiation of high-dose corticosteroid therapy. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography was performed at the clinic and helped to confirm the diagnosis. It is a new imaging modality that is increasingly used in rheumatology clinics in Malaysia as it serves as an extension to physical examination. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography is preferred by patients as it is noninvasive, does not involve ionising radiation, painless, relatively inexpensive and can be performed readily at the clinic.

A viable secondary intra-abdominal pregnancy resulting from rupture of uterine scar: role of MRI

Teng HC, Kumar G, Ramli NM

Br J Radiol, 2007 Jul;80(955):e134-6.

PMID: 17704308

Pre-natal diagnosis of intra-abdominal pregnancy is difficult. Ultrasound has been the frontline modality to date; however, it gives a diagnostic error of 50-90% and its use is disappointing. In recent years, MRI has emerged as an appealing imaging modality. With its good soft tissue contrast and non-ionizing property, it acts as a means of definitive non-invasive assessment before surgical intervention when ultrasound is inconclusive.

Fatal spontaneous rupture of splenic artery aneurysm in third trimester pregnancy

Samberkar PN, Chow TK, Samberkar SP

Malays J Pathol, 2018 Dec;40(3):337-341.

PMID: 30580366

INTRODUCTION: Unforeseen emergency in late pregnancy can be catastrophic and cause unexpected maternal and foetal demise. Moreover, lack of awareness and failure of prompt treatment raise mortality rate. Such fatalities warrant a forensic autopsy as it may raise redundant medico-legal concerns.

CASE REPORT: We report a case that revealed significant intra-abdominal haemorrhage at autopsy. The source of haemorrhage was at the spleen hilum and histology established rupture of splenic artery aneurysm. There was no associated obstetric cause found.

CONCLUSION: Knowledge of spontaneous rupture of splenic artery aneurysm in late pregnancy is essential for monitoring maternal and foetal, morbidity and mortality. However, in the eventuality of death a comprehensive forensic autopsy is the only investigation to recognise such calamity and clear clinical confusion.

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy presenting as an irreducible inguinal hernia

Prasannan S, Jabar MF, Gul YA

Acta Chir. Belg., 2004 Oct;104(5):591-2.

PMID: 15571031

An inguinal hernia that suddenly becomes irreducible may be secondary to a variety of other underlying conditions which can occasionally mislead the attending surgeon. Benign, inflammatory or neoplastic processes, as well as surgical emergencies such as intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal haemorrhage, have all been previously reported to mimic an inguinal hernia that suddenly becomes irreducible with or without clinical features of strangulation. We add an additional interesting presentation to this list in the form of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, which is the first such case reported in the literature. A swelling in the groin may be much more complicated than it seems on superficial consideration and good clinical acumen is constantly required in managing such cases if a satisfactory outcome without any morbidity is to be expected.

A case of acute appendicitis occurring in a 10- month-old infant is reported. The difficulties of an early preoperative diagnosis are highlighted. Perforation has usually occurred on presentation. However, prognosis may not necessarily be poor if active measures are instituted soon after perforation. The importance of active and aggressive preoperative resuscitation with fluids and electrolyte and intravenous antibiotics is stressed.
