Background: In this case report, we presented a rare case of maternal death with massive vulvar edema and Covid-19 diagnosis.
Case Presentation: The case was a 20-year-old woman who was referred to with pain and massive vulvar edema by passing 7 days from her labor. The laboratory tests showed leukocytosis, lymphopenia, and elevated C-reactive protein levels. The high-resolution computed tomography was in favor of Covid-19 changes. Finally, she died because of respiratory distress, ON the 8th day postpartum.
Conclusion: Given the increasing prevalence of Covid-19, it is important and vital to be aware of its potential complications and then to try prevent and manage them, especially during high-risk periods such as pregnancy and postpartum.

Acute Sheehan syndrome following massive postpartum hemorrhage due to vulvar hematoma.
AJOG Glob Rep

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kawasaki Medical School, Okayama, Japan (Saito, Ota, Sugihara, Ota, and Shimoya).
Article Synopsis
- Acute Sheehan syndrome is a rare form of hypopituitarism that can develop after significant postpartum hemorrhage, as seen in a 37-year-old woman who lost 3,000 mL of blood following a vulvar hematoma.
- The patient presented with symptoms like anorexia and fatigue 28 days after giving birth, and MRI results confirmed swelling of the pituitary gland due to hemorrhage.
- This case is unique as it links acute Sheehan syndrome to vulvar hematoma, emphasizing the need to consider less common complications in severe postpartum bleeding cases.

Article Synopsis
- Acquired vulvar lymphangioma (AVL) is a rare condition resulting from damage to deep lymphatic vessels, causing swelling and discharge, often leading to misdiagnosis.
- A 53-year-old woman developed AVL seven years after cervical cancer surgery, showing significant vulvar enlargement and drainage, which was confirmed through biopsy.
- The case highlights the need for awareness of AVL post-surgery, and the successful staged excision approach could inform future treatment protocols for similar cases.

A new bridge between studies of sexual selection and the massive literature on Caenorhabditis elegans behaviourand nervous system properties promise to provide important new insights into both fields. This paper shows that mate choice likely occurs in hermaphrodite C. elegans on the basis of stimulation from the male genital spicules, making it possible to apply the toolkit of extensive background knowledge of C.
