Introduction: Hyperuricemia is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk and complications of type 2 diabetes (1). The aim of this study is to establish a possible link between lipid profile and hyperuricemia.Method: A total of 321 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in our study. Clinical and par clinical data were collected from patients’ medical records. The lipid profile includes low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipop...

Introduction: Turner syndrome occurs in one out of every 2,500 to 3,000 live female births. The syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome (45,X karyotype)(1). Patients with Turner syndrome are at risk of congenital heart defects, and is defined by the association of a dysmorphic and malformative syndrome, the main elements of which are small size and gonadal dysgenesis(2).Methodology: Descripti...

Secondary amenorrhea is defined as the cessation of regular menses for three months or the cessation of irregular menses for six months (1). Most cases of secondary amenorrhea can be attributed to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, or primary ovarian insufficiency the aim of this study to analyze the clinical, biological, etiological profile of secondary amenorrhea (2).Patients and methods: We conducted a retrospectiv...

Introduction: Primary amenorrhea is an uncommon presentation in reproductive medicine requiring rigorous investigation. Primary amenorrhea is defined by the absence of menstrual cycle in girls after the age of 15 years, with or without the development of secondary sexual characteristics. The objective of the study is to determine the clinical, biological, etiological and therapeutic profile of primary amenorrhea in the Endocrinology-Diabetology department of Mohammed VI Univer...

Introduction: Turner syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality that affects phenotypic females who have one intact X chromosome and complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome. In this genetic disease, the karyotype ranges from complet 45, X to forms of mosaicism in which a normal cell line (46, XX or 46, XY) or a second (or third) abnormal cell line is found. Mosaic turner syndrome (MTS) has a heterogeneous clinical presentation as well as a varied presence of malfor...

Introduction: Turner syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities, with a reported prevalence of one in every 2.500 live-born girls. The phenotype includes short stature, primary ovarian failure, and other characteristics resulting from the consequences of fetal lymphedema and skeletal abnormalities. Turner syndrome can be associated with multiple defects: cardiovascular, renal, auditory, and skeletal. The aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of cardia...

Introduction: Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder linked to the total or partial absence of an X chromosome. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous, associating a small stature with a dysmorphic syndrome that varies from one person to another.The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in our Turnerian patients.Material and method: This is a retrospective descriptive study collecting 15 cases ...

Introduction: Sheehan’s syndrome is a rare postpartum complication. Recurrent hypoglycaemia,though described is a rare complication of Sheehan syndrome. Here we report a case of Sheehan syndrome which presented with hypoglycemic coma.Case Presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented to the medical emergency unit with coma. There was no history of chest pain, fever, headache, vomiting, trauma, or seizures. She had no history ...

IntroductionTurner syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, with a reported prevalence of 1/2500 live females. It is characterized by short stature, ovarian failure, malformative, autoimmune, skeletal and bone abnormalities. The objective of our work is to study the prevalence of skeletal and bone malformations in our Turnerian patients.Material and methodThis is a retrospective descriptive s...

IntroductionTurner Syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder related to the total or partial absence of an X chromosome. Its clinical presentation is very heterogeneous. It can be associated with several organic abnormalities, including hearing disorders. The objective of our work is to study the prevalence of otologic abnormalities in our Turner patients.Material and methodThis is a retrospective descri...
