Introduction: Impact of suppressive therapy with LH RH analogues is more stop the premature pubertal development, reduce the acceleration of bone maturation that compromises the final size and avoid psychological disturbances caused by hormonal imbalance.Aim: To study the effects of treatment on pubertal development, bone maturation and evolution of the size during and at the end of treatment and final height in 20 patients with central precocious pubert...

Introduction: The inflammatoirs background processes, and infiltrating tumour of the pituitary stalk are rare. They are a heterogeneous group of lesions responsible of partial or global hypopituitarism.Aim: Search for thickening of the pituitary stalk aetiologies and specify the clinical aspects.Population methodology: This is a retrospective study of 24 patients with thickening of the pituitary stalk. All patients benefited from a...

Introduction: The growth failure constant in turner syndrome is responsible for a spontaneous reduction in adult height with an average of 143 cm. Treatment with growth hormone has enhanced the stature prognosis.Aim: Studying the final size of turner patients who have completed their growth.Population, methodology: 40 patients became adult patients were assessed on linear growth. The following factors were studied: The age and size...

Introduction: Micropenis is defined as a stretched penile length of <2.5 S.D., which can be diagnosed from birth to adolescence. It is idiopathic or associated with a chromosomal abnormality, hypogonadism, pituitary abnormality or a complex malformation syndrome. The therapeutic management of this disease should be early to get a favorable response and absence of impact objective. Clarify the clinical and etiological aspects of micropenis of patients followe...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours or TNE form from cells of the endocrine and neurological system at any point in the body and are characterised by their ability to secrete hormones and express protein markers. They are often benign, but some are malignant and can easily metastasise.Objective: To describe the clinical, paraclinical and scalable of TNE endocrinology observed outside medullary carcinoma and phaeochromocytoma.Popul...

Introduction: The ovarian tumors are benign or malignant, primary or secondary proliferative processes, cystic aspect, solid or vegetating, whose growth is not directly related to a Hormonal dysfunction. They can grow at the coating tissue, be embryonic or endocrine origin.Aim: Assess the frequency of ovarian tumors and clarify their phenotypic and evolutionary characteristics.Population and methodology: This is a retrospective stu...

The GH deficiency (GHD) may be congenital with or without cause identified or acquired secondary to organic lesion in the hypothalamic region (HH). In all cases a magnetic resonance imaging is necessary.Aim: Investigate the causes of GHD Population and methodology GHD children were followed at the department of endocrinology. In addition to clinical examination, a testing hypophysiogramme is made with glucagon/propranolol/GH testing insulin on GH/cortiso...

Introduction: The causes of short stature are various and their frequency depends on whether we consult in pediatric or endocrinology.Although endocrine pathology is involved in a little <10% of cases, its recognition is important because it leads to a specific treatment that enhances the stature prognosis.Aim: Search etiologies statural delays observed in endocrinology and assess the frequency of GH deficiency.<p class="ab...

Achondroplasia is the most common genetic causes dwarfism. Its prevalence is 1/10 000 à 30 000 birth. it is an autosomal dominant disease associated with the mutation of the receptor gene growth factor on chromosome 4p16 fibroblastes FGFR3 responsable rhizomelic dwarfism and multiple complications likely to compromise the functional and vital prognosis of patients.Aim: Find the frequency of neurological complications and identify scalability.<p ...

Introduction: GH deficiency cause a short stature in the child. In the adult hood, other complications appear: An increase of cardiovascular mortality due to an atherogenic profil of lipids and glycaemia abnormalies is reportedAim: Search metabolic disorders in children and adolescents presenting GH deficiencyMaterials and Methods: Patients (56 boys, 36 girls) follow up in our consultation for deficit in GH (Diagnosed on clinical a...
