[Hysterectomies in tropical zones: experience of one African maternal health service. 141 cases in Burkina Faso].

We conducted a retrospective study of all hysterectomies performed in our setting over a two year period (1995-1996). The objective was double: define the indications and precise the outcome. A total of 141 cases were recorded. The main characteristics of the patients were the following: a mean age of 38 years, mean gravidity and parity of 5 and an average number of living children of 3. Hysterectomy was performed by the abdominal route in 86.52% of the cases. The main indications were: uterine rupture (39.71%), uterine myoma (25.53%), genital prolapse (19.89%) and cervix cancer (7.09%). Adnexectomy was associated in 51 cases and it was bilateral in 22 cases. The following complications occurred: 5 deaths, 8 wound abcess, 2 bladder injury, 1 ureter injury and 1 case of post-operative hemorragea.

[Abdominal pregnancy and tubal pregnancy. Apropos of 1 case. An exceptional clinical event].

A case of non-progressive and earlier abdominal pregnancy, associated with an evolutionary tubal pregnancy is reported by the authors. This clinical situation is very rare, indeed, exceptional, because it concerns two successive and ectopic pregnancies. The poor obstetrical cover and the ineffectual supervision of the pregnancy explain in part these situations in our countries.

[Measles and pregnancy. Apropos of 16 cases in Burkina Faso].

We report an epidemic of 16 cases of measles during pregnancy. The risk factors for such an association and the materno-fetal outcomes are presented. The mean age of the patients was 20.6 years, with a mean gravidity and parity of 2.1 and 1.1 respectively. The mean clinical features were: conjunctivitis, hyperthermia and cutaneous rash. Nine maternal complications occurred: 6 laryngitis and 3 pneumopathies. All patients were HIV negative. The outcomes of the pregnancy were the following: 2 abortions, 3 stillbirths, 1 preterm delivery and 2 full term births. Eight patients with ongoing pregnancies were lost to follow-up after their discharge from the hospital. We conclude on the need for a systematic prevention in exposed pregnant women by immunotherapy and in children by immunization.
