Citurions .from the Literafure

index of suspicion led to an early diagnosis and intervention with resultant improved maternal and fetal outcome. Electron microscopic examination of a liver biopsy specimen proved more beneficial in confirmation of the diagnosis compared with routine microscopic examination.

Levin JH; Lacarra M; D’Ablaing G, Grimes DA; Vermesh M Division of Reproductive Endocrinology, Universiry of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA

AM J OBSTET GYNECOL 1990, 163/2 (543-544) A patient treated with mifepristone (RU 486), which successfully induced abortion of an intrauterine pregnancy, was discovered to have a heterotopic ovarian pregnancy resistant to this antiprogesterone. The ovarian pregnancy was removed with operative laparoscopy. This case demonstrates for the first time that an ovarian pregnancy may be resistant to treatment with RU 486 at a dose adequate to abort an intrauterine pregnancy.

DinbetS ketoacidosis and insulin resistance with subcutaneous terkutaline infusion: A case report

Tibaldi JM; Lo&r

DL; Nerenberg A

OBSTET GYNECOL 1990, 76/3 II SUPPL (545-548) A case is presented of white sponge nevus involving the vaginal, labial, and oral mucosae of a 34-year-old woman. White sponge nevus is a rare, benign, autosomal dominant leukokeratosis that predominantly affects the oral mucosa. Less frequently, it affects extraoral sites including the vulvovaginal mucosa. In this case, histopathologic study of vulvovaginal lesions, subsequent examination of extragenital mucosa, and inquiry into the family history led to the correct diagnosis. The genetics, clinical appearance, and histopathology of white sponge nevus are discussed in relation to the differential diagnosis of oral and vaginal leukokeratoses.

AM J OBSTET GYNECOL 1990, 16312(509-510) Diabetic ketoacidosis may occur in women treated with intravenous &sympathomimetic agents for tocolysis. We describe diabetic ketoacidosis and transient severe insulin resistance jn a woman with diabetes who was treated with subcutaneous terbutaline infusion. Subcutaneous terbutaline infusion may precipitate transient insulin resistance and diabetic ketoacidosis in women with diabetes.

AM J OBSTET GYNECOL 1990, l63/2 (594-595) An abdominal pregnancy after treatment for female genital tuberculosis is presented. Early treatment after the diagnosis of female genital tuberculosis may restore fertility in the rare patient. Chemotherapy is the cornerstone of therapy. Ectopic pregnancies are common and should be ruled out to avoid catastrophic results.
