1) Background. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe mucocutaneous reactions, characterized by extensive necrosis and detachment of the epidermis. 2) Case presentation. We present a case of a 46-year-old patient with late-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer who was primarily treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking which was followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. At first recurrence, she was again treated with chemotherapy and due to severe abdominal pain, an elastomeric pump containing analgesics, anti-inflammatories and ondansetron was administered. In the same month, she was admitted to the hospital due to severe dysphagia and in the following days, she developed haemorrhagic vesiculobullous lesions on facial skin and trunk. Stevens-Johnson syndrome was confirmed and ondansetron as a leading cause was discontinued. Despite multimodal treatment, her condition deteriorated, and she died. 3) Discussion and conclusion. Although gynaecologists rarely encounter Stevens-Johnson syndrome, high mortality of the disease should ensure a low threshold for diagnosing and treating this disease.

The increasing number of caesarean section (CS) is a major challenge in modern obstetrics. This rise is not supported by better neonatal and maternal outcomes. The prevention of unnecessary primary CS is a global priority. This study focuses on effectiveness and safety of yoga practice during pregnancy and it’s connection to perinatal outcome. We conducted a single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial, with healthy singleton primiparas, randomized at first trimester of pregnancy. A total of 214 participants were randomized, 106 in yoga and 108 in controls. The study group performed yoga exercise while the controls received standard antenatal care. The yoga exercises were performed once a week, lasted 90 minutes, under the supervision of a certified yoga teacher. All pregnant women from study group completed 12 yoga exercises. The results showed that the yoga group had a lower rate of urgent intrapartum CS (p-0.004) and more frequent spontaneous vaginal delivery (p-0.009), while the control group had a higher rate of induced labour (p-0.032). Conclusion: Yoga practice in pregnancy is a promising intervention that has a potential to decrease intrapartum urgent CS rates and assures natural and spontaneous vaginal birth; it’s highly recommendable to healthy pregnant women.
