Introduction: Odontogenic facial cellulitis (OFC) is a soft cellulo fatty tissue infection of lesser resistance in different spaces, delimited by the musculoaponeurotic insertions on the maxillary and mandibular bone cortices. when patients have underlying diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or cancer, compromised immune systems may lead to the opportunistic progression of seemingly minor infections. We report the case of a patient who presented an inaugural diabetic ketoa...

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare disorder. It is an autosomal recessive hereditary ciliopathy, including: Multivisceral impairment, associated with obesity, learning disabilities, with or without intellectual deficit. We report the observation of 2 patients followed in our training for morbid obesity.Case Report: Case 1: O. Y. 17 years old, from a non-consanguineous marriage. Admitted for management of morbid obesity, BMI=70 kg/m2...

Introduction: Meningoencephalitis (ME) is defined as an inflammatory process of the brain and meninges, most often secondary to an infection, or more rarely to a dysimmune process. From a clinical point of view, ME is defined by the association of a neurological disorder (disorder of consciousness, convulsion) with a febrile meningeal syndrome.Case Report: The patient was 24 years old and had no previous medical history.

Introduction: Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy syndrome (APS) type 4 is rare, characterized by an association between an autoimmune endocrine disease with another endocrine or non-endocrine autoimmune disease, and this association cannot be attributed to APS type 2 or 3. We report the observations of 3 cases with APS type 4.Cases presentations: Case N 1:Patient 16 years old, type 1 diabetic for 9 years under insulin therapy, with...

Introduction: Excess weight has become a major public health problem. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are known risk factors for kidney disease. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of obesity on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and microalbiminuria in patients with diabetes.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted over three years in obese and type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized in the Endocrinology and Diabetology Depart...

Introduction: The corpus callosum is the most important of the interhemispheric commissures, its fibers called callosal radiations have a transverse direction. They connect different points of the neocortex. The corpus callosum represents the neopallial commissure; it has indeed a phylogenetic development modeled on that of the neocortex. Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is included in a rare polymalformative syndrome characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum (CC), dis...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism and prolactinoma can be associated as part of a MEN1. However, the association of the two pathologies can also be seen outside of a syndrome predisposing to endocrine tumors. Case presentation: F.L., a 33-year-old woman followed for end-stage renal failure, during her follow-up hyperparathyroidism was discovered without any idea of the culprit and the victim: is the renal failure secondary to hyperparathyroidism ...

Introduction: Antenatal treatment with dexamethasone in pregnancies affected by congenital adrenal hyperplasias (CAH) therefore suppresses fetal androgen production and prevents virilisation of female infants. Antenatal DXM is reported to be efficacious, preventing or ameliorating virilisation in 80–85% of cases.Case report: 23-year-old patient pregnant at 6 weeks, not known of having congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), concept of consanguineous m...

Introduction: The treatment of Graves’ disease is represented principally by anti-thyroid drugs, radioiodine ablation or thyroidectomy. Methimazole is the most used drug for the initial treatment. It is rare to encounter patients with resistant hyperthyroidism despite high doses of MMI.Case presentation: A 41-year-old woman was referred to our unit for resistant thyrotoxicosis. She had a confirmed Graves’ disease with positive serum Trab. Whils...
