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 ...

IntroductionMetabolic steatopathy or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are common diseases that regularly coexist and can act in synergy by increasing the risk of metabolic complications and cardiovascular events. NAFLD seems to be frequently associated with metabolic risk factors reflecting the metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study is to analyse the characteristics of this association in type 2 diabetics.<p cla...

Introduction: Insulin pump therapy is recommended more and more in type 1 diabetic patients in order to achieve and maintain optimal glycaemic control. The objective of our study was to determine the effectiveness of insulin pump therapy in improving metabolic control in type 1 diabetic patients.Patients-Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study including 20 patients with type 1 diabetes treated by insulin pump, between 2017 and ...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a real public health problem and is the most frequent cause of hyperandrogenism in women of childbearing age. The therapeutic management of PCOS depends on the patient’s phenotype and associated comorbidities. The aim of our work is to study diagnosis and evolution after treatment of PCOS in our population.Material and method: This is a retrospective descriptive study of 78 patients followed for PCOS at the...

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common histological type of differentiated thyroid malignancy. This type of tumor is rarely associated with thyroid hormone hypersecretion. We report the case of a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma revealed by hyperthyroidism. Case report: A 35 years old patient was admitted for the management of malignant hypercalcemia discovered incidentally on the biological workup performed preoperatively f...

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...

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...

Keywords: Hypoglycemia- non-diabetic patientsIntroductionHypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients is a rare entity, diagnosed by the presence of Whipple’s triad (plasma glucose concentration less than 50 mg/dl, neuroglycopenic-symptoms, and resolution of symptoms after the correction of hypoglycemia). It may be secondary to several etiologies, including tumors that may be malignant. Prolonged supervised fasting is frequently used...

IntroductionDiabetes is a growing health concern, considered as a worldwilde multifactorial public health challenge especially in developping countries. The concept of seasonality in T1DM diagnosis, has been suggested by different studies, implying the existence of several environmental factors as triggers and potentiators of β-cell destruction. The purpose of this study is to elucidate epidemiological profile and the seasonal variation of type 1 di...

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...
