Introduction: Pericarditis includes all inflammatory affections of the serous covering of the heart. The clinical expression and etiology of these disorders are highly variable. Of these, hypothyroidism is an important issue to recognize.Objective: Find the frequency of pericardial effusion in primary hypothyroidism and appreciate its clinical and evolutionary characteristics.Population and method: A retrospective study in 72 patie...

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) are rare including MEN1:association of pituitary, pancreatic and parathyroid tumors and MEN 2 regrouping NEM2a: medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), pheochromocytoma and parathyroid tumor and NEM2b with ganglioneuromas. They’re caused by autosomal dominant mutation: MEN1 gene (MEN 1) and RET protooncogen (MEN 2).Aim: Report the phenotypic and evolutionary characteristics of MEN.Popul...

Introduction: The ovarian tumors are benign or malignant, primary or secondary proliferative processes, cystic aspect, solid or vegetating, whose growth is not directly related to a Hormonal dysfunction. They can grow at the coating tissue, be embryonic or endocrine origin.Aim: Assess the frequency of ovarian tumors and clarify their phenotypic and evolutionary characteristics.Population and methodology: This is a retrospective stu...

The GH deficiency (GHD) may be congenital with or without cause identified or acquired secondary to organic lesion in the hypothalamic region (HH). In all cases a magnetic resonance imaging is necessary.Aim: Investigate the causes of GHD Population and methodology GHD children were followed at the department of endocrinology. In addition to clinical examination, a testing hypophysiogramme is made with glucagon/propranolol/GH testing insulin on GH/cortiso...

Introduction: The causes of short stature are various and their frequency depends on whether we consult in pediatric or endocrinology.Although endocrine pathology is involved in a little <10% of cases, its recognition is important because it leads to a specific treatment that enhances the stature prognosis.Aim: Search etiologies statural delays observed in endocrinology and assess the frequency of GH deficiency.<p class="ab...

Achondroplasia is the most common genetic causes dwarfism. Its prevalence is 1/10 000 à 30 000 birth. it is an autosomal dominant disease associated with the mutation of the receptor gene growth factor on chromosome 4p16 fibroblastes FGFR3 responsable rhizomelic dwarfism and multiple complications likely to compromise the functional and vital prognosis of patients.Aim: Find the frequency of neurological complications and identify scalability.<p ...

Introduction: GH deficiency cause a short stature in the child. In the adult hood, other complications appear: An increase of cardiovascular mortality due to an atherogenic profil of lipids and glycaemia abnormalies is reportedAim: Search metabolic disorders in children and adolescents presenting GH deficiencyMaterials and Methods: Patients (56 boys, 36 girls) follow up in our consultation for deficit in GH (Diagnosed on clinical a...

Introduction: Acromegalia is frequently associated to a glucidic metabolic disorders. Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance play an important part in the cardiovascular risk and the surmortality of this pathology.Aim: Study of changes in carbohydrate disorders after cure of acromegalia.Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 36 patients (16 men and 12 women) hospitalized between 1985 and 2013. Pituitary macro aden...

Introduction: Cardiothyreosis is a severe and most frequent heart complication due to hyperthyroidism. It includes severe arrhythmias, heart insufficiency or heart coronary insufficiency ± atrial ventricular block, or pulmonary hypertension.Our aim was to study cardiothyreosis frequency in females, its incidence, its causes, and its response to radical treatment.Subjects and methods: It is a retro-and prospective study which a...

Thyroid hormones disturbances may lead to glucose metabolism abnormalities but little is known about the risk of hyperglycaemia in hypothyroidism.The aim of our study is to determine the frequency and the predisposing factors to hyperglycaemia in hypothyroidism.Subjects and methods: It is a retro and prospective study including 425 hypothyroid subjects (383 F/42 M). We search for hyperglycaemia which means fasting glycaemia ≥...
