Nagpur: Recently a 29-year-old female from Chandrapur was referred to Orange City Hospital & Research Institute (OCHRI), a unit of Ravi Nair Hospitals Private Limited, Nagpur. She was admitted under care of Dr. Bindu Marar- Senior Gynecologist. She was 6 ½ months pregnant for first time with uncontrolled Gestational Diabetes and Polyhydramnios with fetus having a huge cervical teratoma (cystic- solid tumor) in the antero-lateral part of the neck with anticipation that it will compromise the airway of the neonate after birth. In view of above fetal complication and high-risk surgery, Chandrapur Gynecologist timely referred her to OCHRI Obstetrics Department for further management.
After detailed workup, controlling diabetes and other parameters for two weeks, the patient was taken for elective Caesarean section surgery with gynecologists, anesthesiologists, pediatricians and pediatric surgeon preparing plans A, B, C and even D, E, F ready for assisted ventilation of the neonate. Intubating the baby was also going to be a great challenge in itself due to the size and location of the tumor.
