Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ib are genetic diseases with transmission maternal, defined by a resistance to the action of the parathormone without resistance to the TSH. Clinical manifestations are variable and depend on the severity of hypocalcaemia. We report the case of a patient presenting with type Ib pseudohypoparathyoidia.Observation: This is a 9-year-old child admitted for care and exploration of a severe hypocalcaemia. The patient...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrinopathy characterized by the excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone, most commonly associated with parathyroid adenoma. The osteoarticular manifestations of hyperparathyroidism are currently exceptional. The diagnosis is most often established at the asymptomatic stage by measuring calcium levels and parathyroid hormone.Observation: We report the case of a 67-year-old patient with a history of pa...

Introduction: Rickettsia diseases are infectious, re-emerging, polymorphic, potentially fatal diseases that are widespread worldwide. These are diseases caused by strict intracellular bacteria with a Gram-negative stain associated with arthropods, mainly ticks, but also lice, fleas and other mites. In diabetics, adequate and early management is essential given the risk of developing malignant Mediterranean spotted fever.Observation: We report the case of...

Introduction: Leo Burger’s thromboangiitis obliterans ‘TALB’ is a rare inflammatory, segmental and occlusive disease affecting small and medium-sized arteries and the veins of the extremities of the limbs. It is more common in males and its major aggravating factor is smoking.Observation: We present the case of a 66-year-old patient with a history of chronic smoking at a rate of 25 packs per year, known type 2 diabetic for 10 years, well b...

Introduction: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) is a rare malformation of the birth canal in women. It is defined as agenesis of the uterus and vagina with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and a normal karyotype (46, XX). This is an entity with a heavy psychological impact requiring multidisciplinary care.Observation 1: We report the case of a 16-year-old patient with a history of delayed puberty in the sister, who...

Introduction: Thyroid heterotopia is an abnormal location of coexisting normal thyroid tissue with a normal organ and normal location. It is a congenital anomaly due to a defect in the maturation of the thyroid tissues, which is distinguished from ectopic thyroid and from a thyroid cancer metastasis.Observation: We report the case of a 65-year-old patient, with no notable history, who consulted for clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis associating asthenia, t...

Introduction: Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. There are three main therapeutic weapons: synthetic antithyroid drugs, surgery and radioactive iodine. The latter represents an effective treatment without noticeable side effects. We report a case of Graves’ disease refractory to iratherapy.Observation: This is a 38-year-old patient, with no notable history, who consulted for Graves’ disease diagnosed with clinical...

Introduction: Thyroid tuberculosis is a rare localization that can pose problems of differential diagnosis with thyroid nodules. Its rarity is explained by the good oxygenation of the thyroid parenchyma and the bacteriostatic role of thyroid hormones. The definitive diagnosis is based on the pathological examination of the surgical specimen or after cytopathology or bacteriological examination of the transparietal puncture in complicated cases of collection.<p class="abste...

Introduction: Graves’ disease is a rare and severe disease in children with a marked female predominance. The diagnosis is made in front of a very suggestive clinical picture most often grouping together a goiter, an exophthalmos and a picture of thyrotoxicosis, confirmed biologically by the presence of hyperthyroidism with positive anti-TSH receptor antibodies and radiologically by diffuse, homogeneous, hypervascular goiter. There are three essential therapeutic weapons:...

Introduction: Emphysematous cystitis is a rare rare condition encountered mainly in poorly balanced diabetic patients. It represents a rare cause of septic shock and is characterized by the presence of air in the wall and/or the bladder lumen. Abdominopelvic computed tomography remains the key examination to confirm the diagnosis.Observation: We report the case of a 65-year-old patient with a history of non-ill-controlled type 2 diabetes on sulfonylureas...
