Introduction: Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a non-exceptional cause of short stature. Hormonal evaluation and hypothalamic-pituitary MRI are essential to establish the etiological diagnosis. The objective of our study is to assess the different pituitary lesions found in imaging in a group of children with GHD.Patients and methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study of 22 cases of GHD who underwent pituitary MRI examination collected in the ...

Introduction: Polyuria-polydipsia syndrome is an uncommon problem in clinical practice defined by the combination of production of ‘abnormally’ large volumes of urine (>3 L/day in adults and 2 L/m2 in children) with the persistent intake of abnormally large quantities of fluids. The purpose of this study is to detail the clinical and etiological profile of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome in the Endocrinology-Diabetology Department of Oujda’s Universi...

Introduction: GH deficiency (GHD) is a rare etiology of short stature. The lack of early diagnosis and adequate treatment have adverse consequences, especially the small final height with the resulting psychological impact. The aim of this study is to identify some of the predictive factors influencing stature gain during the first year of GH therapy.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study of 14 cases of complete GHD collected i...

Introduction: Pituitary Stalk Interruption Syndrome (PSIS) is characterized by the presence of a thin or absent pituitary stalk, associated with hypoplastic or aplastic anterior pituitary and ectopic posterior pituitary (EPP) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The objective of this study is to describe the clinical, hormonal and radiological aspects of PSIS.Patients and methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study of 9 cases of PSIS collected in...

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: Cushing’s disease is caused by endogenous hypercotisolism, due to the hypersecretion of the adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. However, some patients with Cushing’s disease have no visible adenoma on MRI. The goal of this study is to review the clinical features, diagnosis and medical preparation of patients with Cushing’s disease.Material and Methods: A retrospective study including ...

IntroductionAdherence to therapy is a common problem, predominating mainly in patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, and it is often associated with inappropriate eating behavior, both of these factors can lead to a poor glycemic control, and of cause a high levels glycated hemoglobin.ObjectivesEvaluate the impact of various parameters (age, gender, duration of diabetes, socio-economic status, polymedi...

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 ...
