Introduction: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland, which represents the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, accounting for 50 - 80% of all cases. Three treatment options are available for Graves’ disease: anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine and thyroidectomy. But therapeutic management is still controversial. The aim of our study is to discuss, after a review of the literature, the role of surgery in the treatment of Graves’ diseas...

Brown tumors in patients with secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism

Masmoudi Mohamed , Zitouni Chaima , Thabet Wadii , Chebil Ezer , Hasnaoui Mehdi , Mighri Khelifa

Introduction: Brown tumors result from the destruction of bone occurring especially in regions where bone resorption is rapid with hemorrhage and repa-rative granulation tissue replacing the normal tissue. This bone lesion can affect any part of the skeleton. It results from uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure.Objective: The aim of this report is to describe the management and the evolution after treatment of brown tum...

Parathyroid gland locations during surgery

Masmoudi Mohamed , Zitouni Chaima , Thabet Wadii , Chebil Ezer , Hasnaoui Mehdi , Mighri Khelifa

Introduction: Typically, there are 4 parathyroid glands in humans: 2 superior parathyroid glands usually located near the crico-thyroid joint, and 2 inferior parathyroid glands near the inferior pole of the thyroid gland. However they can be variable in number and location. Awareness of their potential location is crucial for the operating surgeon.Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe parathyroid gland locations found during surgery.<p ...

Hamza Zouhour , Jerbi Ameni , HadjKacem Feten , Hachicha Hend , Mnif Mouna , Feki Sawsan , Abid Mohamed , Masmoudi Hatem

Introduction: Inflammation has been involved in the physiopathology of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Hematological inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and white blood cell count (WBC) can serve as predictive markers for a systemic inflammatory response. This study aimed to evaluate hematological inflammatory markers in T1DM patients with DKA and without-DKA in an uninfected state and to determine their role in the prediction of DKA.<p class="ab...

Accuracy of the European Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (EU-TIRADS)

Masmoudi Mohamed , Zitouni Chaima , Thabet Wadii , Chebil Ezer , Hasnaoui Mehdi , Mighri Khelifa

Introduction: There are several classifications based on thyroid ultrasound for selecting suspected malignant thyroid nodules. In 2017 the European Thyroid Association developed a new and simple European Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System (EU-TIRADS), which classifies the risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules in adults to the following categories: benign, low-, intermediate-, and high-risk.Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the EU-TIRADS for d...

Masmoudi Mohamed , Zitouni Chaima , Thabet Wadii , Chebil Ezer , Hasnaoui Mehdi , Mighri Khelifa

Introduction: Pseudomonal infection is the most common cause of necrotizing otitis externa (NOE), which typically affects elderly diabetic patients. Fungi are a rare cause of this disease. Fungal NOE can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated promptly. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology, clinical features, management and evolution after treatment of diabetic patients with fungal NOE.Methods:...
