Introduction: Necrosis of the nasal pyramid is mainly of traumatic origin, among the other possible causes, those induced by systemic diseases, in particular Wegener’s granulomatosis…We report a case of necrosis of the nasal pyramid secondary to prolonged intubation in a type 1 diabetic.Observation: Patient T.T, 28 years old, followed for a poorly balanced type 1 diabetes, admitted to a blood clot in a table of diabetic ketoacidosis. The patie...

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the most common autosomal dominant disease. The endocrine manifestations of NF1 are represented by pubertal abnormalities and pheochromocytoma. We report a case.Observation: Mr. G.A, age 28, consulling for a grade 2 HTA evolving for 3 years. The anamnesis notes paroxysmal crises made of Ménard triad. The exam notes a correct blood pressure, 18 coffee latte tasks, lentiginous tasks. Two neurofibromas of...

Introduction: Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare dermatological disorder, mimicking generalized pustular psoriasis. It is characterized by a generalized erythema-pustular eruption accompanied by fever. Its etiopathogenesis is poorly coded but triggers have been identified such as hypocalcemia in more than half of cases and pregnancy. We report a case of severe hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism revealed by impetigo herpetiformis.Case report: Fort...

Introduction: The prison environment is a space that involves certain restrictions on prisoners. The diabetic subject requires, however, special attention. The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of this medium on the glycemic balance and the metabolic profile.Patients and method: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out on a health campaign day in a penitentiary center, in the men’s sector, and concerned patients with known diabetes fro...

Introduction: Somatotropic adenomas are classically a source of hypersecretion of GH and consequently of IGF1 responsible for the clinical signs of acromegaly. Rarely, these adenomas remain ‘silent’, without any obvious clinical manifestation. They can then be detected on the basis of a routine determination of growth hormone under oral glucose tolerance test (GH/OGTT) and insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1) or be diagnosed only to immunohistochemical study as is the case...

Introduction: Angiosarcoma is a highly malignant tumor, very rare and even more so when it comes to a thyroid localization. It is characterized morphologically by its vascular differentiation and cytological polymorphism. The objective of this study is to report a case of this entity with its evolution in the postoperative period.Observation: patient of 54-year-oldm, with no pathological history. Operated (total thyroidectomy) for compressive multihetero...

Introduction: Therapeutic education is one of the cornerstones in the management of various chronic diseases in children and adults. Several models of therapeutic education have been well developed (obesity, type 1 diabetes…); nevertheless, it remains less common and less developed in certain endocrine diseases. The purpose of this work is to present the therapeutic approach designed for children requiring treatment with growth hormone.Materials an...

Definition: Fake hypoglycaemia in children and adults is due to self-administration of insulin or insulin secretagogue. They represent one of the best described facets of the Münchhausen syndrome. Here we report four cases of false hypoglycemia following insulin injection.Material and method: Prospective study that took place over 2 years to collect 4 hospitalized cases for etiological assessment of severe hypoglycaemia up to 0.2 g/l and complicated...
