Giant ovarian cyst itself is defined as a cyst >10 cm in diameter from radiological- examination or the size of the cyst exceeds the umbilicus. Extra-large benign and malignant cysts of the ovary are uncommon and involve diagnostic and management challenges. We present the case of a 20-year-old nulliparous woman who was referred to our center with complaints of abdominal pain and heavy breathing. She benefited from a salphingo-oophorectomy laparotomy procedure. Benign and malignant gynecologic and non-gynecologic etiologies are included in the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass. Because of the infrequent occurrence or absence of distinctive clinical presentation of the giant ovarian cyst, accurate preoperative diagnosis is challenging.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for all medical personnel in the world. Various studies have been conducted to gain more knowledge about SARS-CoV-2, but studies in the pediatric population are still very limited. We report a case of a boy aged two years and seven months who came to the hospital with an atypical generalized seizure for less than 5 minutes and immediately regained consciousness after the seizure. Other symptoms included fever, productive cough, rhinorrhea, and shortness of breath. The X-ray showed a well-defined homogeneous consolidation in the upper right lobe and a small spot in both lungs which consistently showed top right lobar pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. From the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test, positive results were obtained on the third day of hospitalization. The patient received antiseizure therapy, antibiotics, and other supportive therapies by Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) guidelines. During treatment, the patient responded well to the treatment given, with no other seizure episodes. A negative result on the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test was obtained after twelve days of hospitalization as well as improvements of the lungs as seen from the X-ray.
