Introduction: Type 1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease caused by a disturbance of the immune system, damaging the Beta-cells. The association with other auto-immune diseases was frequently described, and dysthyroidism represents an important part of these associations. In type 1 diabetes, the hormonal profile can be disturbed regardless of auto-immunity. The goal of our study the thyroid hormonal profile in type 1 diabetes, as well as the prevalence of auto-immune dysthyroidi...

Introduction: The management of diabetes goes through the education but also the management of acute and chronic complications. Among the complications, erectile dysfunction are too often forgotten as they actually affect the quality of life. The repercussions of this complication incite the clinician to look for it among the other complications of diabetes. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in a diabetic population and to evaluate its ...

Introduction: Endocrine hypertension is the most common cause of secondary hypertension affecting nearly 3% of the population. Adrenal etiologies play a significant role in these cases. An adrenal incidentaloma is an asymptomatic adrenal tumor, at least one cm in diameter, discovered incidentally during a medical imaging examination. It requires an investigation into its secretory or malignant nature leading to the development of arterial hypertension.Ma...

Introduction: The adrenal incidentaloma is an asymptomatic tumor measuring at least one cm, discovered incidentally during a medical imaging examination. The adrenal incidentaloma continues to grow with technological advances and improved radiological examinations. Any adrenal incidentaloma involves the search for a secretion or malignant character. The objective of our study is to study the clinical, biological and etiological aspects of adrenal incidentalomas.<p class="a...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism JawTumor Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the synchronous or metachronous occurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism and an ossifying fibroma of the maxilla and/or mandible, associated with an increased risk of parathyroid carcinoma.Observation: We report the case of a 30-year-old young woman who consulted for a limp in walking,6 months after having been operated for a juvenile ossifying fibrom...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) arises from elevated glycemia during pregnancy, posing risks to both mother and fetus. Managing GDM involves close monitoring and dietary control, with antenatal insulin therapy (AIT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of diverse maternal characteristics and biological indicators identified during GDM diagnosis in anticipating the inadequacy of dietary measures and the requirement for AIT to achieve glucose t...

Introduction: Verneuil’s disease, also known as Hidradenitis suppurativa, is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis characterized by recurrent episodes. It’s manifested by painful deep inflammatory nodules, comedones, and scarring in areas rich in apocrine glands. Its prevalence is estimated at 1% of the population. It is influenced by factors such as obesity, smoking, and genetics. We report the case of a patient admitted for diabetes in whom Hidradenitis suppurativa was...

Introduction: The most recent declared pandemic is attributed to COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the principal receptor for SARS-CoV-2, exhibits expression in various tissues, prominently within gonadal and hypothalamo-hypophyseal domains. Long COVID, characterized by persistent symptoms post-infection, manifests in certain individuals and includes manifestations associated with the genitourinary system, such as sexual...

Introduction: Macroprolactinemia is a polymeric form of prolactin release that leads to clinically paucisymptomatic presentations. It can be isolated or associated with other causes of hyperprolactinemia. We report the case of macroprolactinemia discovered in a patient being treated for an empty sella turcica.Case report: This concerns a 47-year-old patient, monitored since the age of 31 for moderate idiopathic hyperprolactinemia discovered following bil...

Introduction: Hamartomas are benign tumors that occur in many different parts of the body. Brain locations of hamartoma are rare but still reported in few cases such as the tuber cinereum (TC) location. Children with hypothalamic hamartomas develop precocious puberty generally associated with gelastic seizures. However, TC hamartomas do not necessarily induce clinical symptoms. Amenorrhea has never been reported as a revealing symptom of TC hamartomas. Here we describe an atyp...
