In this systematic review, we aimed to characterize the most common phenotype of headache in COVID-19 infected patients.\u0000Methods: A systematic literature was conducted through Pubmed, SciElo and Cochrane databases with keywords (headache[Title]) AND (covid-19[Title]), ((neurological) AND (headache) AND (characteristic)) AND (covid-19), ((phenotype) AND (headache)) AND (covid-19).

The majority of our patients had headaches that occurred with COVID-19 symptoms onset (94.2%), ranging from 1 to 10 days after the first COVID-19 symptoms. The most common headache site was frontal (42.3%), followed by diffuse/ holocranial (40.1%), periorbital/retroorbital (24.2%), and temporal (23.8%), with no lateralization/occurring bilaterally (85.9%), and pain characteristic predominantly pressing and tightening (55.9%), throbbing (25.3%), and stabbing (9.8%). Headache intensity measured by VAS score ranged mild to moderate in most cases with duration mostly 1-24 h. 57% of headache patients were also accompanied by fever symptoms. Additional headache symptoms were also recorded, predominantly anosmia/ageusia, followed by photophobia/phonophobia, and nausea/vomiting.\u0000Conclusion: Bilateral, long-lasting, with pressing-tightening characteristic headaches accompanied by fever, were more frequent in COVID-19 infected patients, in conjunction with anosmia/ageusia.

Pregnant women meeting specific criteria were evaluated for LDH levels, leukocyte counts, preeclampsia severity, and newborn birth weights. Statistical analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation, were employed to explore relationships and significance among variables.\u0000Results: There is significant differences in LDH levels and low birth weight across patients with mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, and eclampsia. LDH levels were linked to preeclampsia severity, while low birth weight correlated with eclampsia. Leukocyte levels, however, did not exhibit notable differences among these group.\u0000Conclusion: This study underscores the necessity of early assessment and monitoring of these factors in pregnant women, aiming to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes. Further research is recommended to validate these findings in diverse populations and explore additional risk factors associated with preeclampsia-related conditions. In conclusion, this research illuminates the interplay between LDH levels, leukocyte counts, low birth weight, and preeclampsia severity.

The estimated frequency of malignancy during pregnancy with colorectal cancer specifically estimated at 1 in 13,000 pregnancies. However, the exact causes of colorectal cancer during pregnancy are not yet fully understood. Diagnosing and managing colorectal cancer during pregnancy pose significant challenges because the symptoms can be masked by the normal signs and symptoms of pregnancy.\u0000Case Pesentation: A 42-year-old pregnant patient, Mrs. L, presented with abdominal pain, a history of dark-colored bowel movements, and a lump on the left side of her neck that had been present for a year. She had also experienced a weight loss of 5 kg both before and during pregnancy, and there was no previous history of malignancy. The patient underwent various diagnostic procedures, including pregnancy ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound, and colonoscopy biopsy. Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and supporting tests, she was diagnosed with stage IV rectal adenocarcinoma with metastases to the liver, kidney, and lymph nodes.

Topical and oral glaucoma medications were given. Both eyes IOP were still elevated in the following months. Trabeculectomy in both eyes was performed due to medically uncontrolled glaucoma. Furthermore, both eyes IOP were getting normal without any topical and oral glaucoma medications.\u0000Conclusion: Unmonitored steroid usage must be avoided.
