Article No.:030122027 Type: Case Study |
Background: Pre-teenage pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy with associated high incidence of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The risk factors of teenage pregnancy are multi-factorial cutting across all geographical locations influenced by religion and socio-cultural dispositions. Aim: To report this uncommon case of pre-teenage pregnancy emergency caesarean section following cephalo-pelvic disproportion in labour (CPD) and offer preventive measures. Case Report: She was Miss AG a 11-year old Junior Secondary Pupil Gravida 1 Para 0+0 who registered for ante natal care at 26 weeks gestation at a government hospital in the company of her mother. She was sexually assaulted by her uncle which resulted to her conception At presentation she was not pale, anicteric, afebrile (axillary temperature of 37.20C). On abdominal examination, her fundal height was compatible with 26 weeks gestation. All other findings on physical examination were normal. She was compliant with her routine ante natal care and medications. She was booked for an elective caesarean section at 38 weeks of gestation but presented in labour at 37 weeks of gestation of which she had an emergency caesarean section with good fetal and maternal outcome. Her post-operative period was uneventful, she had psychological support from the hospital’s child psychologist and was counselled on family planning. Conclusion: The case is that of pre-teenage pregnancy which is a global problem associated with myriad of potential negative consequences to both the mother and the baby when not properly managed. Multidisciplinary approach should be institutionalized involving all stake holders to help prevent and mitigate impact locally and globally.
