Preterm delivery was significantly correlated with the presence of U. spp. The risk for preterm delivery increased when U. spp. was associated with an abnormal vaginal flora.

This case was extraordinary because of a combination of tuboovarian abscess and generalized peritonitis with E. vermicularis infection occurring during late pregnancy. Ectopic enterobiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic infections of gynecological origin.

We report a case of the sonographic detection of oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia in a fetus at 15 weeks' gestation. An early diagnosis was suggested by observation of a maxillar cleft in association with unilateral microphthalmia. In the presence of microphthalmia the syndrome is likely to include mental retardation. When the diagnosis is made in the perinatal period, management generally involves cosmetic surgery. If, however, the condition is recognized in the early stages of gestation, termination of pregnancy may be an option.
