Key words: Primary hyperparathyroidism-PTH level –osteoporosis-osteolytic bone lesions-brown tumorIntroduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent pathology responsible for an alteration of the phosphocalcic metabolism at the origin of numerous complications, in particular osseous. The objective of this work is to evaluate the bone impact of primary hyperparathyroidism in our series.Matériel et m&#...

Key words: Primary hyperparathyroidsm-Bone complications-Renal complications and digestive complications.IntroductionPrimary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent endocrinopathy whose diagnosis is biological and linked to an inappropriate secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), wich leads to an altered phosphocalcic metabolism that can be responsible for numerous complications. The aim of this work is to evaluate the classical complica...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is a common endocrine disease, and its most effective treatment is surgery. Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is one of the complications that can occur after parathyroidectomy, and that can cause severe and prolonged hypocalcemia. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for HBS in patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for PHP.Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive and analyti...

Introduction: Low levels of vitamin D are commonly seen in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). The aim of this study was to determine the vitamin D status and to evaluate its relation with primary hyperparathyroidism severity.Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study including 48 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism followed-up in the Endocrinology-Diabetology and Nutrition Department of the University Hospital Cen...

Introduction: Central diabetes insipidus reflects a serious underlying pathology in children. The etiologies are dominated in pediatric population by: central nervous system (CNS) tumors and malformations, histiocytosis, postoperative, radiation, and trauma injury to the hypothalamic-pituitary region. We report in this work three observations illustrating rare etiologies of pediatric central diabetes insipidus in the endocrinology-diabetology and nutrition department of the Mo...

Introduction: Secondary or primo-secondary amenorrhea suggests central damage of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis or peripheral damage of the reproductive system. It must be carefully investigated with an essential hormonal workup to determine the etiology and initiate the appropriate treatment.Observation: We report the case of a 21-year-old patient, admitted for exploration of a primo-secondary amenorrhea associated with a pituitary tumor syndrome made ...
