Spinal Anaesthesia for Complete Molar Pregnancy With Biochemical Thyrotoxicosis and Ventricular Ectopy

Authors: Glaser R et al. Cureus, 18(1): e101614, January 2026 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.101614 SummaryThis case report covers anesthetic decision-making for uterine evacuation in a 20-year-old primigravida (16 weeks) with a complete hydatidiform mole complicated by extreme β-hCG elevation, biochemical thyrotoxicosis (suppressed TSH with elevated free T4), and frequent ventricular ectopy (PVC bigeminy). The key clinical point […]

Acute Respiratory Failure and Metabolic Acidosis Due to Excessive Normal Saline Absorption During Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: A Case Report

Authors: Naiki H et al. Cureus, 17(6): e86591, June 2025 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.86591 SummaryThis case report describes acute respiratory failure and severe hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis resulting from excessive intravascular absorption of normal saline during hysteroscopic myomectomy. Although isotonic saline is widely considered safer than hypotonic distension media, this case illustrates that large-volume absorption can still lead […]
