Case Reports[Spontaneous rupture of an unscarred uterus during labor and epidural anesthesia].
We report a case of spontaneous rupture of unscarred uterus, during labour and under epidural analgesia in a 43 year-old patient at her third pregnancy and third delivery. The tear was vertical and took place on the left postero-lateral side of the uterus, occurring in the whole height of the lower segment and overlapping towards the uterine corpus and cervix. Analysis of medical, surgical, gynaecological and obstetrical past history has displayed no predisposing factors explaining this rare occurrence. This clinical case reminds us that spontaneous rupture is always possible even on an unscarred uterus.

Case Reports[Unusual twin pregnancy: one in the pseudo-unicornate uterus and the other in the rudimentary uterine horn. Discussion on the diagnosis and management during pregnancy].
An unusual twin pregnancy was diagnosed echographically at 18 weeks gestation and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. One foetus was in a pseudo unicornis uterus and the other in a rudimentary uterus cornu. ⋯ The foetus in the pseudounicornis developed normally to 38 week term. This exceptional observation emphasizes the risk of pregnancy in a blind uterus cornu.

Review Case Reports[Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and pregnancy. A study of renal and digestive toxicity of niflumic acid in the perinatal period].
We report a case of intrauterine exposure to niflumic acid in a preterm neonate (35 weeks of gestation). The mother received niflumic acid (750 mg daily) during the last four days of gestation. Severe oligohydramnios was present. ⋯ It is important that the nephrotoxicity of this vasoactive drug be known. Maternal administration of niflumic acid during the last days of gestation can induce fetal and neonatal adverse effects, especially renal failure. Prescription of all nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs must be very cautious during pregnancy.
