The modification of meal times during the month of Ramadan which can modify the absorption of L-thyroxine, knowing that it interferes with the taking of meals. Purpose of the study: Assess the impact of L-thyroxine intake schedule on the therapeutic balance during Ramadan in patients with hypothyroidism.Mat...

Introduction: Thyroid ectopia is a rare pathology linked to a migration defect of the thyroid gland during its embryonic development. It is most often asymptomatic, but can be revealed by dysthyroidism, or a cervical or thoracic mass. We report the case of an ectopic thyroid revealed by a mediastinal mass.Observation: 61-year-old patient, with no particular history, followed for a plunging multi-hetero-nodular goiter which cervical ultrasound showed an e...

Introduction: Hematological toxicity is the main risk of synthetic antithyroid drugs (ATS); the major form is acute agranulocytosis requiring adequate and urgent management. The literature concerning neutropenia and agranulocytosis under ATS is relatively poor, based on rare studies, with often small numbers of patients, and most often concerning American or Japanese populations treated.Purpose of the study: Report our experience in the endocrinology and...

IntroductionPrimary thyroid lymphomas (LTP) are a rare entity, characterized by their histological and clinical heterogeneity. They represent 5% of thyroid tumors and 2% of extra-ganglionic lymphomas. We report two observations of LTP by specifying the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic features.ObservationsObservation 170-year-old patient, followed in internal medicine for Sd ...

IntroductionBasedow disease is the most common etiology of hyperthyroidism; the cardiac manifestations seen in hyperthyroidism often affect people over 60 years of age, manifested mainly by sinus tachycardia, atrial rhythm disturbances or increased cardiac output. Pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary embolism are atypical manifestations.Observation39-year-old patient, followed for basedow disease for...

IntroductionDifferentiated thyroid cancers DTC are metastatic in 10% of cases. The most frequent sites are the lungs, the bones, the brain and the liver. The presence of a metastasis reduces the life expectancy of patients by 60%. The objective of this work is to describe the characteristics of metastatic DTC in our service.MethodologyDescriptive retrospective study of 740 patient files monitored at the endoc...

IntroductionPapillary carcinoma is the most frequent histological form of malignant thyroid tumors, increasingly diagnosed at the microcarcinoma stage. Papillary microcarcinomas, often localized, are classified as very low risk.Objective of the studyTo describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics, the evolutionary profile as well as to determine the predictive factors of recurrence of papillary m...

IntroductionAcromegaly is an acquired endocrine pathology associated with the overproduction secondary to hypersecretion of growth hormone, by a somatotropic pituitary adenoma in more than 90% of cases, the symptoms of which may concern various organs (eye, heart, colon, etc.). skin….). Occasionally, it can present itself in association with skin changes which in some cases are very rare. We report the observation of a patient followed for acromega...

Introduction: Endocrinopathies, characterized by dysfunctions in the endocrine system and its hormonal glands, emerge as a significant cause of secondary diabetes. These conditions induce complex disturbances in glucose metabolism, leading to insulin resistance or alterations in insulin production, pivotal factors in the development of secondary diabetes. This study aims to describe the etiological profiles of secondary diabetes and evaluate its evolution after treating the un...

Introduction: Hypocalcemia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders. It is defined by a total calcium level <2.12 mmol/l (85 mg/l). Acute hypocalcemia is considered as a medical emergency.Objectives: To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and etiological profile of patients undergoing treatment for acute hypocalcemia, as well as the management.Patients Et Methods: This is a retrospective study including 60 patients h...
