Retained placenta accreta is difficult to diagnose in the series of processes involved in parturition. It is usually discovered after delivery, when massive and uncontrollable postpartum hemorrhage occurs. A histological examination of residual placental tissue is the gold standard for the diagnosis of retained placenta accreta and indicates the degree of placental invasion into the myometrium. If the placenta is forcefully removed, maternal morbidity and mortality is high. Therefore, the management is essential when the placenta cannot be delivered spontaneously or manually. We present a case of a 35-year-old woman (G4P2A1L2) who had a high risk of placenta accreta due to past history of placenta accreta and previous myomectomy. After successful delivery, the placenta was not delivered as expected. Consequently, she experienced massive post-partum hemorrhage of 1,500 mL for up to 2 days post-partum, necessary of an extensive blood transfusion. Following spontaneous vaginal delivery and a failed attempt to manually remove the placenta, a uterine artery embolization was performed, and the patient improved over a few weeks. Thus, this case was successfully managed with conservative treatment, avoiding hysterectomy or other additional surgical treatments. No secondary postpartum complications were observed, and the menstrual cycle returned to normal within 6 months.

Fetal ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an extremely rare condition. Because sustained VT is highly associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality, prenatal management with antiarrhythmic drugs is crucial. A 33-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for fetal bradycardia at 25.2 weeks of gestation. Initial echocardiography showed bradycardia with irregular atrial beats, which was suspected as blocked atrial bigeminy. Four weeks later, the fetal tachycardia was accompanied by no atrioventricular conduction. Therefore, VT was diagnosed. The fetus developed hydrops. Despite the use of antiarrhythmic drug, the neonate died a few hours after birth because of persistent VT. Only few cases of fetal VT have been reported worldwide, and no case has been reported in Korea. Here, we report a case of fetal VT and discuss the prenatal management using antiarrhythmic drugs, reviewing previous reports.

Objective: Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is a relatively rare superficial blistering skin disease caused by exfoliating toxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. We experienced a 3-month outbreak of neonatal SSSS in a maternal unit. Methods: The medical records of newborns who were diagnosed with SSSS were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Eleven newborns with SSSS were transferred to our hospital between January and March 2019. The median age of the newborns was 18.0 (11.0-22.5) days. Of the 11 newborns, 2 (18%) showed the generalized type of SSSS, 4 (36%) the intermediate type, and 5 (45%) the abortive type. S. aureus was isolated in 10 of the newborns and found to be methicillin-resistant in 9 cases. All the newborns were treated with intravenous cefazolin, and two newborns with the generalized type were also treated with clindamycin. The median duration of antibiotic use is 8 (6-14) days. All the newborns responded well to antibiotics and were discharged without complications. Conclusion: We recently experienced an outbreak of neonatal SSSS. To manage problems associated with such an outbreak, periodic monitoring is required, along with guidelines for infection control, such as thorough infection education, isolation of infected newborns, and antiseptic handwashing.
