We report a rare case of a large prolapsed pedunculated uterine myoma measuring 15cm in its greater diameter. In order to make a surgical procedure safe and feasible, appropriate clinical predictors should be taken into account and pre- and intraoperative preparations be available to the surgeon's armamentarium.

Objectives: Serum lactate dehydrogenase has been extensively studied in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. However, to date, its clinical usefulness in the field remains unknown. The present meta-analysis has been designed to evaluate differences in serum LDH values among patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and to help determine its diagnostic accuracy as well its predictive accuracy in determining adverse pregnancy outcomes. Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Clinicaltrials.gov, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL and Google Scholar databases from their inception till March 18, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed using the meta and metafor functions in Rstudio. Pooled mean differences (MD) were calculated with the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman. Meta-regression analyses, publication bias assessment and Trim and Fill function were also performed. The adequacy of the sample size was evaluated with Trial Sequential Analysis. Results: Fifty-two articles were included that comprised 5,340 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and 2,890 healthy controls. The meta-analysis revealed significant differences among patients with preeclampsia (either mild or severe) compared to controls, as well as among patients with mild and severe preeclampsia. Significant asymmetry was noted after examining funnel plots, however, and the trim and fill analysis revealed that differences were significant only among cases with severe preeclampsia and healthy controls. Morbidity outcomes increased with LDH levels > 600 IU/L and particularly when these exceeded 800 IU/L. However, confidence and prediction intervals indicated an underpowered sample size for the accurate determination of the odds of developing maternal morbidity. Conclusions: Despite the extensive research in the field of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, there is still lack of evidence concerning the diagnostic performance of serum LDH in clinical practice; hence, research should expand in this direction to evaluate its clinical utility.

Abdominal wall endometrioma is an extremely rare entity with a precise incidence of 0.07%–0.47% remaining an insidious cause of usually delayed diagnosis. Differential diagnosis should include that rare condition and ultrasonography remains a pivotal tool to unravel that enigma as well.

A 19-year-old pregnant patient was diagnosed with primary toxoplasmosis infection. The patient was successfully treated with spiramycin and finally delivered normally a healthy boy. Serological tests for detection of anti-toxoplasma antibodies along with ultrasonography findings are the gold standard for the diagnosis. Spiramycin was used for embryo protection.

Obstetric anal sphincter injury is a common complication of vaginal delivery. Such injuries are more likely to result in postpartum fecal incontinence and thus diagnosis and restoration of perineal injuries at the time of vaginal delivery is of paramount importance.
