Acardic twining is a rare congenital anomaly, usually in monozygotic twins. This condition is characterized by the absence or rudimentary development of fetal hear, and associated with various anomaly(especially with anecephalus). The acardiac malformations are uniformly fatal in the affected twin, and mortality in the co-twin is as high as 55%. We recently experienced a case of acardius acephalus associated with a normal term male infant, so present with a brief review of the literature.

Arteiovenous malformation of the uterus is an extremely rare and becomes one of the causes of severe uterine bleeding. Because uterine bleeding can be aggravated with diagnostic dilatation and curettage, an accurate diagnosis should be achieved before the intervention. This malformation may be congenital or acquired. In the past, the diagnosis is usually made retrospectively after hysterectomy, however, recently it may be made before management by ultrasound, doppler ultrasound, pelvic angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.. We have experienced one case of arteriovenous malformation of the uterus, which is presented with a brief review of the literatures.

The leiomyoma of the vagina is relatively rare benign solid tumor, and majority of them were not recognized until after operation. Variable opinion exists as to the exact origin of this lesion. The most frequent location is the anterior vaginal wall. Recently we experienced a case of vaginal leiomyoma arising in the anterior vaginal wall and now we present it with a brief review of the literatures.

Intestinal obstruction is a rare but important complication of pregnancy and puerperium leading to increased maternal and fetal motality. Diagnosis is often delayed or missed because many of the manifestations of intestinal obstruction such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain can be interpreted as pregnancy related symptoms. This delay in diagnosis or misdiagnosis, reluctance to surgery during pregnancy are thought to be responsible for the high maternal and fetal death rate. So we report a case of postpartum small bowel obstruction following vaginal delivery with a review of the literature.
