Abstract:
We present the case of a young primigravida, conceived with in vitro fertilisation, referred with unilateral neck swelling and pleuritic chest pain. Our case highlights the potential complexity of the management of the complications of assisted conception techniques. The discussion explores important considerations in the management of such patients.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
