Following an ultra-sound examination in the prenatal clinic as an out-patient the 27 year old gravida: 2 para; 1 sustained severe blunt trauma to the abdomen and a fracture of the pelvis and a cerebral concusion in a motor vehicle accident at 25 weeks gestation. Following admission for the motor vehicle accident the intra-uterine fetal death was shown. The patient required laparotomy with spleenectomy and suturing of ruptured liver and ruptured mesentery. The 500 g. fresh stillbirth was delivered by hysterotomy. No placental or fetal trauma to explain the intra-uterine death was found although there was vaginal bleeding on admission.
The article describes an acute inflammation of Bartholin's gland named after the Danish anatomist Caspar Thoméson Bartholin, jr. (1655--1738), which eventually led to hospitalisation of a 47-year old woman for a period of two months involving many complications: truly a case of a small cause producing a great effect! Similar cases have not been found in the literature referred to by us, and hence publication of this unusual case appears justified.
A case of primary abdominal pregnancy is described. The diagnosis was suspected by laparoscopy and confirmed by the laparotomy in the same operative session. The microscopic examination corroborated the diagnosis. The patient was discharged in good condition on the 12. post-operative day.
