Intoduction: Diabetic retinopathy remains one of the major causes of blindness. The management of the diabetic patient is multidisciplinary. The objective is to study the prevalence of retinopathy in a group of type 2 diabetic patients and to update the risk factors.Patients and methods: This is a cross-sectional study during 3 years of 129 type 2 diabetic patients followed up for endocrinology and metabolic diseases at the Mohammed VI University Hospita...

Introduction: Craniopharyngioma is a rare benign epithelial tumour arising from the pituitary stalk or pituitary gland, developing in the sellar and suprasellar region, it affects both adults and children, The clinical presentation may include endocrine symptoms suggestive of hypopituitarism, ophthalmologic symptoms, signs of intracranial hypertension and focal neurological signs. However, after surgical treatment, hypothalamic-pituitary endocrine damage is common. The aim of ...

Introduction: Strict metabolic control is the main purpose in the management of type 1 diabetes in order to prevent patients from macro or microvascular complications. The therapy of type 1 diabetes was optimized by the basal-bolus regimens with multiple daily injections in addition to the educational programs such as flexible insulin therapy. Nevertheless, despite all those therapeutic approaches, the metabolic control is not always obtained. The specific aim of our study is ...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent endocrinopathy characterized by a disorder of phosphocalcic metabolism related to an inappropriate secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma can be located ectopically and represents a particular diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report 2 clinical cases of ectopic parathyroid adenoma in mediastinal location.Observations: Case 1: A 47-year-old patient without...

Key words: Primary hyperparathyroidism-PTH level –osteoporosis-osteolytic bone lesions-brown tumorIntroduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent pathology responsible for an alteration of the phosphocalcic metabolism at the origin of numerous complications, in particular osseous. The objective of this work is to evaluate the bone impact of primary hyperparathyroidism in our series.Matériel et m&#...

Key words: Primary hyperparathyroidsm-Bone complications-Renal complications and digestive complications.IntroductionPrimary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent endocrinopathy whose diagnosis is biological and linked to an inappropriate secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), wich leads to an altered phosphocalcic metabolism that can be responsible for numerous complications. The aim of this work is to evaluate the classical complica...

Introduction & Background: Pituitary adenomas represent 10-25% of all intracranial tumors. Their incidence is higher between the ages of 40-60 years and less frequent in young adults. The objective of this work was to evaluate the prevalence as well as the clinical and etiological profile of pituitary adenomas in young adults.Key words : pituitary adenoma- yount adult.Material and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of 21 ...

Key Words: Giant – pituitary adenomaIntroduction & Background: Giant pituitary adenomas are uncommon tumors defined by a tumor diameter ≥ 4 cm. Their prevalence estimated at 6-10% of all pituitary adenomas, whose clinical characteristics and prognosis are not well known. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the prevalence as well as the clinical and evolutionary characteristics of giant pituitary adenomas in our series.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Nodular thyroid pathology is very frequent. Its exploration requires a clinico-biological evaluation, a cervical ultrasound to look for the ultrasound criteria of malignancy allowing to classify the thyroid nodules according to the EU-TIRADS classification in order to orientate the diagnosis and to indicate the Fine needle aspiration, to finally allow a targeted management. The aim of our study is to investigate the correlation between the EU-TIRADS classificatio...

Introduction: Thyroid pathology, particularly nodular, is very frequent. It is in most cases benign, thyroid cancer remains rare (5% of nodules). Thyroid ultrasound is the reference examination and should be performed in all patients with known or suspected thyroid nodules. It will allow the detection, diagnosis, search for signs of malignancy and monitoring of these nodules. The aim of our study is to investigate the correlation between the ultrasound signs of malignancy and ...
