Introduction: Odontogenic facial cellulitis (OFC) is a soft cellulo fatty tissue infection of lesser resistance in different spaces, delimited by the musculoaponeurotic insertions on the maxillary and mandibular bone cortices. when patients have underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or cancer, compromised immune systems may lead to the opportunistic progression of seemingly minor infections. We report the case of a patient who presented an inaugural diabetic ketoa...

Introduction: Compared to normal population, patients with neurofibromatosis are at higher risk for the development of benign and malignant tumors. Pheochromocytomas are relatively rare in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and malignant ones are even rarer.Aim of the presentation: Our aim was to report a malignant pheochromocytoma with multiple metastases in a patient with NF1.Case report: A male patient aged 23 years old, with lapar...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine producing tumors which arise from chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla. Silent pheochromocytomas are rare entities that do not present with the classical symptoms commonly seen in catecholamine-secreting tumors. Case report: We report a case of 70-year-old-woman patient who presented with left sided abdominal pain and discomfort for 6 months. A preoperative Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a hu...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are rare catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors that are usually benign, but which may also present as or develop into a malignancy. Predicting such behavior is notoriously difficult and there are currently no curative treatments for malignant tumors.Case Report: A male patient aged 23 years old who was investigated for headaches, flushing and palpitations. The patient presented with classic clinical features of NF-...

Introduction: The COVID pandemic was a challenge in terms of physiopathology and therapeutics. Diabetics represent more than 40% of patients hospitalized for COVID. There was many new cases of diabetes declared during or after a COVID. The purpose of this report is to raise the link between Sars-Cov-2 infection and the appearance of glycemic disorders and new cases of diabetes.Case Presentation 1: A 28-years-old man who had a serious COVID-19 a month ago...

Introduction: Diabetic osteoarthropathy (D.O) commonly referred to as Charcot’s foot is a complication secondary to neuropathic and inflammatory osteolysis, occurring in a setting of old and/or poorly controlled diabetes. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood and its diagnosis must be systematically evoked in the presence of any inflammatory sign that localised to the foot or ankle occurring on a background of diabetic neuropathy.Clinical ca...

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders characterized by bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and postural instability as well as neurocognitive impairment and depression. Studies found a significant association between thyroid dysfunction and an increased risk of PD. We report the case of a patient treated for PD who had also Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and we discuss the association of thyroid dysfunction with risk of PD....

Introduction: Hepatic encephalopathy is a neuropsychological syndrome complicating a chronic liver disease (cirrhosis), rarely acute (fulminant hepatitis). We report the case of a patient with Graves’ disease who suddenly presented with hepatic encephalopathy. Case Report: S.B., a 48-year-old woman followed for Graves’ disease treated with antithyroid drugs and also presenting vitiligo, was admitted to our facility for a relapse of Graves’...
