Abstract Background Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is rarely diagnosed in pregnant women, and only 7 cases have been reported to date. Thyroid dysfunction, especially hyperthyroidism, during pregnancy has been associated with both maternal and neonatal complications. Thus, the early diagnosis and treatment of SAT during pregnancy may be beneficial. We present a case report and literature review to complement the diagnostic evaluation and management of SAT during pregnancy. Case presentation A 27-year-old woman presented in gestational week 17 of her first pregnancy and had a negative prior medical history. She presented to the Endocrinology Department complaining of neck pain for one month that had intensified in the last five days. Physical examination revealed a diffusely enlarged thyroid gland that was firm and tender on palpation. The patient also had an elevated temperature and heart rate. The increasing and long-lasting pain coupled with a decreased level of thyroid-stimulating hormone indicated hyperthyroidism. Ultrasound findings were indicative of SAT. Importantly, the pain was so severe that 10 mg of oral prednisone per day was administered in gestational week 18, which was increased to 15 mg/d after 10 days that was discontinued in week 28. Levothyroxine was started in gestational week 24 and administered throughout the pregnancy. The patient responded well to the treatments, and her neck pain disappeared in gestational week 21. She gave birth to a healthy male in gestational week 41. Conclusion SAT can be diagnosed and effectively managed during pregnancy, thus benefiting mothers and infants.

AbstractNeck pain or neck pain is a musculoskeletal complaint such as pain in the neck and stiffness that is often experienced by the community. Around 16.6% of the adult population in Indonesia complains of neck pain every year. To reduce pain in patients with neck pain, interventions can be given, one of which is Muscle Energy Technique (MET). This study aims to determine the description of pain reduction in patients with neck pain after accepting the Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Writing this article uses a literature review system using PICO. This article was obtained from searching the Microsoft Academic and Scilit online database with predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measuring instrument used in the literature review is the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The results of the literature review analysis of these 5 articles found that the results of pain reduction from the results of the pre-test were 6.13 and post-test were 2.37. So there is a decrease in pain after accepting the Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Muscle Energy Technique (MET) has an effect on reducing pain in Neck Pain cases. It is hoped that this research should be able to increase knowledge about the management of pain reduction in cases of neck pain after accepting the Muscle Energy Technique (MET).Keywords : Neck pain; muscle energy technique (MET); visual analogue scale (VAS). AbstrakNeck pain atau nyeri leher merupakan keluhan muskuloskeletal seperti terasa sakit dibagian leher dan kaku yang sering dialami oleh masyarakat. Sekitar 16,6% setiap tahunnya populasi orang dewasa di Indonesia mengeluhkan rasa nyeri pada leher. Untuk menurunkan nyeri pada penderita Neck pain dapat diberikan intervensi salah satunya adalah Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran penurunan nyeri pada penderita Neck pain setelah dilakukan Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Penulisan Artikel ini menggunakan sistem literature review dengan menggunakan PICO. Artikel ini didapatkan dari penelusuran data base online Microsoft Academic dan Scilit dengan kriteria insklusi dan eksklusi yang telah ditentukan. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam literature review adalah Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Hasil analisis literature review dari ke 5 artikel ini didapatkan bahwa hasil penurunan nyeri dari hasil pre test 6,13 dan post test 2,37. Jadi ada penurunan nyeri setelah dilakukan Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Muscle Energy Technique (MET) berpengaruh terhadap penurunan nyeri pada kasus Neck pain. Diharapkan Penelitian ini hendaknya dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan terhadap penanganan penurunan nyeri pada kasus Neck pain setelah dilakukan Muscle Energy Technique (MET).Kata Kunci: Neck pain; muscle energy technique (MET);visual analogue scale (VAS).

Background: Calcified juxtafacet cysts in the cervical spine are extremely rate. Such symptomatic cysts commonly cause neck pain, radiculopathy, or even myelopathy. MR and CT studies typically document cord/ root compression. On occasion, some of these cysts will spontaneously regress, while many others may warrant surgical removal. Case Description: A 70-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a progressive tetraparesis. The preoperative MR/CT studies showed a C1-C2 left extradural mass occupying more than half of the spinal canal. On MR, it was homogeneously hypointense on both T1- and T2-weighted images, while the CT showed a calcified cyst. Intraoperative and histopathological findings documented a calcified cervical juxtafacet cyst (i.e. ganglion subtype) that was fully excised without sequelae. Conclusion: C1-C2 juxtafacet cervical cyst should be considered when a patient presents with myelopathy due to a calcified MR/CT documented paraspinal lesion contributing to significant cervical cord/root compression.
