Pituitary apoplexy is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that usually occurs in the setting of a pre-existing pituitary tumor, which may be undiagnosed. There are a growing number of reports describing the pituitary apoplexy associated with coronavirus disease 2019 . We present the case of a 41year-old man who presented with a gradually worsening headache for four days. It was a bilateral frontal headache of sharp quality with no radiation. He scored the headache as 9 out of 10 on the 10-point severity scale. He had no previous episodes of similar headaches. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral optic disc blurring suggestive of papilledema and cranial nerves examination revealed bilateral hemianopia. The patient was admitted for further investigation and management. As part of the admission protocol, the patent underwent a nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which yielded positive results. Computed tomography demonstrated a large solid intrasellar mass with areas of high density suggesting hemorrhage along with a small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage space in the left parietal lobe. The findings were consistent with pituitary apoplexy in the setting of pituitary macroadenoma. Intravenous hydrocortisone was administered. The patient underwent transsphenoidal surgical resection of the pituitary tumor, which resulted in significant improvement in the patient's symptoms. Pituitary apoplexy is a rare condition. The case suggests that COVID-19 may predispose to the development of pituitary apoplexy.

Sacrococcygeal masses encompass a diverse range of pathologies. Prenatal ultrasound facilitates early detection of congenital sacrococcygeal masses. We present the case of a newborn of a 22-year-old woman who was identified to have a sacrococcygeal mass by prenatal ultrasound that was initially diagnosed as sacrococcygeal teratoma. On examination after delivery, a large midline mass in the sacrococcygeal region was observed, which was globular in shape and had smooth, thin skin with bluish discoloration. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion that protruded through a caudal sacral defect, consistent with a sacrococcygeal meningocele. The patient underwent surgical repair of the meningocele without any intraoperative complications and had preserved motor function in the lower extremities after the procedure. This case underscores the challenge of distinguishing sacrococcygeal teratoma from meningocele based on clinical presentation and prenatal ultrasound findings. An accurate preoperative diagnosis is essential for effective surgical planning.
