Introduction: Various hematologic disorders have been reported in hypothyroidism. They are resulting from the effect of thyroid hormones regulating the hematopoiesis.Population and methodology: 100 patients with primary hypothyroidism unsubstituted received a thyroid balance (FT4, TSH us, and Ac anti-TPO cevicale ultrasound) and hematologic exploration (FNS determination of serum ferritin, TIBC). The blood test was completed according to the r...

The giant prolactin macroadenomas are generally compress if their treatment is very difficult. The surgical treatment is disappointing and is generally resistant to Bromocriptine.Patients: 05 Patients (male) hospitalized for giant prolactin macroadenoma >to 04 cm (4–7 cm). 4/5 had less than 35 years (24–49 years) they had an intracranial tumoral syndrome, a deterioration of vision and visual field (oedema - optical atrophy – blindness)...

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas. Its pseudo-tumor manifestation in certain organs such as the thyroid can mimic thyroid carcinoma and lead to erroneous therapeutic decisions. We report a case of sarcoidosis with cervical adenopathy initially considered as a cervical metastasis of thyroid cancer.Observation: A 61-year-old woman, with a history of spontaneous subacute subdural hematoma o...

Introduction: Basedowian exophthalmos is an inflammatory disease of the orbit of autoimmune origin, potentially threatening with severe functional and psychosocial effects. It is usually accompanied by hyperthyroidism. It constitutes a real diagnostic challenge in patients with euthyroidism, as is the case with our patient.Observation: A 34-year-old young woman with no particular pathological personal or family history. Who initially consults, a year ago...

We report the case of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma, revealed by a medullary vertebral compression by a brown spinal tumor in a 44-year-old women. Physical examination revealed a lower limb weakness, paresthesia and radicular lower extremity pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed osteolytic vertebral lesions suggesting metastatic localizations. A thoracic CT scan identified a mediastinal mass measuring 6.2 cm in the major axis. Biological evaluation revealed a hypercal...

Introduction: The epidemiological transition has resulted in a major increase in the prévalence of obesity in our country. Obesity is closely associated with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The aim of our study is assessing the prevalence of general obesity, central obesity (OA), associated risk factors (D2, HTA and dyslipidemia) and tries to provide information on determinants of obesity in Algerian adult.Me...

Introduction: Pretibial Myxedema(PM) and acropachy(AP) are rare extrathyroidal manifestations of Graves’ disease observed only in 0.5–4% of all cases. These extrathyroidal manifestations are generally associated to severe ophtalmopathy. Only few cases of severe thyroid dermopathy and achropachy occurring with moderate ophtalmopathy were reported.Observation: We present a 60years old female patient who developed grave’s disease on a pre-exi...

Introduction: Neoplasias in the thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) are rare, their prevalence varies from 1 to 1.5%. The most common cancer is papillary cancer representing 85% of cases. The diagnosis is often fortuitous following to the anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen.Patient and method: Our patient has 33-years-old, with no previous medical history, which underwent a resection of a TDC of 29 mm in diameter, diagnosed by an anterior c...

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common not transmised disease in the world. Obesity is the main risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Both conditions are responsible of a significant increase in morbidity and mortality.The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of diabetes and fasting hyperglycemia in the general population and to compare this prevalence in obese and non-obese subjects.Methods: This is a descr...

Introduction: Obesity and especially abdominal obesity is therefore often associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia which lead to cardiovascular complications.The aim of our study was to analyze the distribution of cholesterol and triglycerids and to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the Algerian adult population and their variation depending on the presence or absence of obesity.Methodology: Capillary samples using a vali...
