Introduction: Hirsutism is a frequent reason for consultation, it is defined by the presence of terminal hair with male distribution in women, it is however essential to determine the cause, since it can reveal a serious underlying pathology and as it may be due to a benign cause see idiopathic in some cases. Idiopathic hirsutism is second in line to polycystic ovary syndrome in the etiological search for hirsutism. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and p...

Keywords: short stature, Noonan syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome, genetic syndromesIntroduction: Short stature is one of the major components of dysmorphic syndromes. Growth failure may be due to a wide variety of mechanisms, either related to the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor axis or to underlying unknown pathologies. At present, GH therapy is used in most syndromic disorders, although long-term studies evaluatin...

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: 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: Cushing’s disease represents the most frequent etiology of endogenous cushing’s syndrome. It is a severe condition associated to many comorbidities and increased mortality that occurs a long-term management to optimize these patients outcomes. This study aims to describe the phosphocalcium profile and to assess the prevalence of osteporosis in patients with cushing’s disease.Materiels and Methods: Retrospective and descriptiv...

Introduction: Cushing’s disease is a rare condition that represents the most common cause of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome. Its severity is due to cardiovascular complications, with high morbi-mortality rates. This study aims to evaluate the specific features of metabolic disorders in females having Cushing’s disease and presenting a clinical hyperandrogenism.Materials and methods: Retrospective and descriptive study, including 12 female p...
