A rare case of venomous snakebite is reported. Patient is a 35 year old woman with 6th pregnancy of 37-week gestational age. She was presented with a green pit viper snake bite on right foot associated with severe venom poisoning symptoms leading to fetal death and abruptio placentae, severe coagulation disorder with undetectable fibrinogen level. Blood transfusion, cesarean section and hysterectomy were done. After operation, patient’s clinical status was relatively stable but bleeding persisted 6 days after snakebite. Blood coagulation was only improved after administration of 3 doses of specific antivenomous sera

A retrospective study on abruptio placenta was conducted at the Institute for the Protection of Mother and Newborn. Seventy-one among 40,962 deliveries between 1995 and 1999 were defined as abruptio placenta, giving a rate of 0.17%. Of the abruptio placenta cases, moderate and severe conditions were more common, accounting for 73.2%. A majority of the abruptio placenta cases (88.7%) was managed by cesarean section. Hysterectomy accounted for 33.8% among abruptio placenta cases. The study showed that obstetrical intervention of choice in the moderate and severe conditions is cesarean section.

The syndrome of diffuse intravascular coagulation or DIC was related with high perinatal mortality & morbidity. One of the most common cause of clinically significant DIC is placental abruption Usually, DIC complicates this obstetrical accident in approximately 30% of cases. The majority of placental abruption occured late pregnancy. But, recently we have experienced a case of DIC in a patient with placental abruption in 16 weeks of gestationl age and reviewed it briefly

Placental abruption is defined as the early separation a normal placenta from the wall of the uterus before delivery of the fetus. The incidence of it is known 1% of all pregnancies and perinatal mortality rates from abruption range from 20% to 40% in recent studies. The most common symptom is vaginal bleeding. The causes are associated with preeclampsia, other hypertensive disorders, and premature rupture of membranes. It is diagnosed by clinical symptom, sign, and ultrasonography. Recently we have experienced a case of placental abruption diagnosed at 31 weeks by ultrasonography in bicornuate uterus with a brief review of the literature.

The coincidence of stomach cancer and pregnancy is a rare event. Most of the cases are diagnosed in advanced stage either because the patient's symptoms are attributed to her pregnancy or because of a reluctance to pursue diagnostic studies during pregnancy. So, the prognosis for a pregnant woman with stomach cancer is very poor. We experienced a case of perforated stomach cancer with placental abruption during pregnancy and report with a brief review of literature.
