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...

Key Words: Giant – pituitary adenomaIntroduction & Background: Giant pituitary adenomas are uncommon tumors defined by a tumor diameter ≥ 4 cm. Their prevalence estimated at 6-10% of all pituitary adenomas, whose clinical characteristics and prognosis are not well known. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the prevalence as well as the clinical and evolutionary characteristics of giant pituitary adenomas in our series.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Acromegaly is a rare disease characterized by somatotropic hypersecretion. The disease is associated with multiple significant comorbidities and increased mortality. The purpose of this study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical, para-clinical and therapeutic features of Acromegaly disease.Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study including 12 patients with acromegaly in the Endocrinology Diabetology Department of Oujda&#8...

Introduction: The performance of medical imaging leads to the incidental discovery of many silent and ignored tumor lesions. The term “adrenal incidentaloma” (AI) is a neologism for an adrenal mass discovered incidentally during an abdominal imaging examination, not motivated by the exploration of adrenal pathology, most of the time asymptomatic. Several authors hypothesize that adrenal adenomas could be a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome and that the prevalen...

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas represent about 10 to 20% of all intracranial tumors. They are usually classified according to their size into pico-adenomas, micro-adenomas and macro-adenomas, but can also be classified according to their secretory properties into secreting or nonfunctional adenomas. In this study, we describe the clinica, paraclinica, therapeutic and evolution features of pituitary adenomas in our center.Material and methods: A retrosp...

Introduction: Metabolic abnormalities are common in pituitary adenomas and metabolic targeting is becoming a new therapeutic approach to the management of most tumor pathologies, especially pituitary tumors. The objective of this work was to assess the metabolic profile of non-functioning pituitary adenomas.Material and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study, over a period of 6 years, conducted in the Endocrinology-Diabetology and Nutrition depar...

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: Adolescent obesity is a public health problem because of its prevalence and severity. It is a phenotypically heterogeneous disease and evolving in several phases (constitution, maintenance, aggravation) whose determinants are multiple. The great diversity of comorbidities and complications that can be experienced as a result of obesity makes all seriousness.Patients and methods: Retrospective study including 18 obese adolescents hospitalize...
