Far migrated IUCD (Intrauterine Contraceptive Device) is an uncommon condition that has different manifestations depending upon its location. We present the case of a 22-year-old primipara who had a spontaneous abortion after IUCD placement and suffered chronic right lower abdominal pain thereafter. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed Cu-IUCD in the right iliac fossa.
Toxic epidermal necrolysis in pregnancy is a rare disease that can have an adverse effect on Toxic epidermal necrolysis in pregnancy is a rare disease that can have an adverse effect on pregnancy outcomes. Common etiology of the condition includes medication triggered followed by mycoplasmainfection. Almost one-third of cases are idiopathic. Despite the rarity of data, terbinafine causing toxic epidermal necrolysis has been reported. Toxic epidermal necrolysis manifests as a macule, erythema followed by a blister in the chest and spreading to other parts of the body. Removal of the offending agent and supportive management is the cornerstone of management. Here we report 22-year-old primipara pregnant women presenting with toxic epidermal necrolysis after 3 weeks of oral terbinafine use with good pregnancy outcomes.

Introduction: This retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was done to see upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings in patients presenting with dysphagia.
Materials and Methods: Reports of patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were retrieved from endoscopy records. Data regarding age, gender, and endoscopic features and impressions were collected. The data analysis was done using IBM SPSS® v21 (IBM, Armonk, New York). Frequency, proportions, mean ± SD, and range were calculated.
Results: Out of 147 participants, the mean age of the participants was 53.46 ± 15.99 years. There was an equal proportion of participants of each gender (50.3% female and 49.6% male). The prevalence of endoscopic abnormalities was 93.8%. Most of the participants had carcinoma esophagus (38.7%, 57) followed by gastritis (35.3%, 52), gastric polyp (10.8%, 16), and duodenitis (8.8%, 13).
Conclusion: Dysphagia is an alarming symptom that warrants prompt evaluation. With diagnostic and therapeutic value, upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy remains a rapid initial effective tool in the evaluation of patients with dysphagia.

Pheochromocytoma is often diagnosed prior to pregnancy. Sometimes, the disease may be diagnosed for the first‐time during pregnancy masking itself as a hypertensive disease in pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely, appropriate management reduce possible maternal and fetal complications. We identified a case of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy misdiagnosed as preeclampsia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
