Unusual manifestations of peripartal cardiac disease.
Because peripartal cardiac disease occurs infrequently, its manifestations may be unfamiliar to most physicians. We report two unusual cases of postpartum cardiac disease: one patient presented with cerebral and peripheral arterial embolization, and the second patient developed late eclamptic seizures with subsequent myocardial infarction. Both patients recovered. Nonobstetric physicians should be aware of these pregnancy-associated medical complications to allow prompt diagnosis and aggressive therapy.

Nonoperative management of delayed splenic rupture in an adult.
Due to the evidence that a splenectomized patient is at increased risk for serious infection, nonoperative management of splenic injury, as well as operations designed to preserve functioning splenic tissue, have been recently reported. Most experience in nonoperative management has been in the pediatric and young-adult age groups. We report a case of delayed rupture of the spleen in a middle-aged patient who was successfully managed nonoperatively and was followed with ultrasonography to resolution.
