Mirror syndrome is a rare clinical condition in pregnancy associated with significant fetal mortality
and maternal morbidity. It is characterized by a triad of complications: fetal hydrops, placenta oedema,
and maternal oedema. We are reporting one case of late-onset Mirror syndrome in which the patient
presented later in the gestation of 36 weeks due to excessive weight gain and clinical sign mimicking
preeclampsia. Awareness of this disease is essential, as a failure of recognition will delay the treatment
and cause higher maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality

Imperforate hymen is a genital outflow abnormality that can occur in females. It can present with various symptoms and is associated with short- and long-term complications that may affect patients’ quality of life. Acute urinary retention in adolescents is a rare occurrence. We report a case of delayed diagnosis of imperforate hymen involving multiple visits to the clinic for urinary symptoms and the subsequent development of acute urinary retention. Awareness of this rare presentation is essential since delayed diagnosis is associated with hydronephrosis, endometriosis and infertility in later life.
