Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by multiple brown tumors is rare. We report the case of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism on parathyroid adenoma discovered in front of multiple brown tumors.Case Presentation: A 72-year-old female patient, who presented for 6 months a functional impotence of both lower limbs with paraparesis, associated with bone pain from where the realization of a phospho-calcium assessment returning in favor...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent pathology, its association with papillary thyroid carcinoma is rare.Case Report: A 53 year old patient was admitted for management of primary hyperparathyroidism. The biological work-up showed a blood calcium level of 120 mg/l, parathyroid hormone (PTH) 4 times the normal range and hypophosphatemia. Cervical ultrasound showed a right parathyroid nodule with thyroid nodules classified Tirads 4, MIBI ...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy after diabetes and thyroid diseases. Most often, the diagnosis is made at the asymptomatic stage due to the frequent phosphocalcic assessment objectifying hypercalcemia. Much more rarely, primary hyperparathyroidism is diagnosed at the stage of digestive, renal or bone complications. We report the case of a young patient with a femoral fracture that revealed primary hyperparathyroidism.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Mucormycosis is a rare, devastating, fungal infection, which disproportionately affects non-controlled diabetic patients, notably during ketoacidosis. It is a potentially lethal disease. The diagnosis and treatment of mucormycosis remain a challenge because of the nonspecific clinical presentation. We discuss the clinical features and management modalities of this case.Case: We report the observation of a 41 years old male patient, who had ...

Introduction: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus. The aim of our work is to determine the prevalence as well as the predictive factors of this degenerative complication and as a secondary endpoint the evaluation of the risk factors associated with painful diabetic neuropathy.Methods: This is a retrospective and prospective cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical aims conducted over a period ...

Introduction: Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that can be associated with other autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The presence of alternative forms of autoimmune diabetes, such as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) in SPS, is not well described.Case Report: A 63 years old male patient, his medical and family histories were non-specific. He developed progressive rigidity in trunc...

Introduction: Centropontic myelinolysis (CPM) is a neurological pathology related to axonal demyelination lesions, often localized at the pontine level. For a long time, this condition was attributed to rapid correction of hyponatremia. A few cases of PCM with normal natraemia have been described, in a context of undernutrition, chronic alcoholism, hypokalaemia or hyperglycaemia.Patient and observation: We report the case of an 18 years old patient, type...

Introduction: Angiosarcomas are aggressive malignant tumors but very rare especially when they are located in the thyroid, characterized histologically by their vascular differentiation and their polymorphic appearance.Observation: We report the case of a 68-years-old female patient, from a mountainous region who has a history of cholecystectomy in 2018, she underwent a total thyroidectomy for a compressive goiter, the postoperative period was marked by ...

Introduction: Acromegaly is an unusual endocrinopathy due to hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and concomitant rise of IGF-1. It is associated with premature of mortality caused by cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic diseases, as well as increased risk of developing boh benign and malignant tumours. We report the case of a patient with acromegaly associated with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTC).CASEA 50-years -old m...

Introduction: Cushing’s disease is characterized by an endogenous hypercortisolism related to a pituitary adenoma, its association with an empty sella turcica is exceptionally rare.Case report: A 55 year old diabetic patient with hypertension was admitted for investigation of Cushing’s syndrome. Clinical examination found facial and truncal obesity with facial erythrosis, capillary fragility with multiple ecchymoses, proximal amyotrophy of the ...
