    Get PDF
    Post-partum pituitary necrosis (Sheehan's syndrome) is a rare complication of post-partum hemorrhage. The diagnosis can be erratic and often delayed. In this case report of Sheehan's syndrome in the post-partum period, the signs were characterized by agalactia, severe hypoglycemia, and low serum levels of thyroid hormones, cortico-adrenal hormones, and gonadotrophin (FSH, LH). The hypophyseal magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of hypopituitarism secondary to pituitary necrosis

    MĂ©tastases mammaires d’un adĂ©nocarcinome gastrique associĂ©es Ă  une grossesse de 32 semaines d’amĂ©norrhĂ©e: Ă  propos d’un cas rare

    Get PDF
    Les mĂ©tastases mammaires ne reprĂ©sentent que 0,4 Ă  2% des tumeurs malignes du sein. L’origine gastrique est exceptionnellement rapportĂ©e. Encore plus rare est l’association des mĂ©tastases mammaires et ovariennes provenant de l’estomac. De par leur raretĂ© et la non spĂ©cificitĂ© des signes cliniques et radiologiques, les mĂ©tastases mammaires peuvent ĂȘtre confondues avec un cancer primitif et ĂȘtre Ă  l’origine d’un traitement mutilant non appropriĂ©. Nous rapportons le cas d’un adĂ©nocarcinome gastrique mĂ©tastatique au niveau mammaire et ovarien chez une patiente jeune de 32 ans et enceinte de 32 Semaines d’amĂ©norrhĂ©e, qui est Ă  notre connaissance le premier cas rapportĂ© au cours de la grossesse. A travers notre cas, nous soulignons les caractĂ©ristiques Ă©pidĂ©miologiques, diagnostiques, thĂ©rapeutiques et pronostiques de cette entitĂ© trĂšs rare, dont la connaissance est nĂ©cessaire afin d’éviter les erreurs diagnostic et les prise en charge non adaptĂ©e qui peut suivre.Key words: MĂ©tastase mammaire, cancer gastrique, diagnostic, grossess

    NĂ©crose pariĂ©tale utĂ©rine partielle aprĂšs capitonnage hĂ©mostatique au cours d’une hĂ©morragie de la dĂ©livrance

    L'hĂ©morragie de la dĂ©livrance reste la premiĂšre cause de mortalitĂ© dans la majoritĂ© des pays y compris le Maroc. Sa prise en charge doit ĂȘtre multidisciplinaire, rapide, avec mise en 'uvre de moyens mĂ©dicaux et parfois chirurgicaux pour contrĂŽler l'hĂ©morragie. Les techniques de compression ou de cloisonnement utĂ©rins ont Ă©tĂ© peu Ă©valuĂ©es mais diffusĂ©es rapidement dans le monde entier vu la facilitĂ© de leur rĂ©alisation; NĂ©anmoins des complications secondaires ont Ă©tĂ© rapportĂ©es dans la littĂ©rature dont la nĂ©crose utĂ©rine. Nous rapportons le cas d'une patiente de 33ans cĂ©sarisĂ©e Ă  38 semaines d'amĂ©norrhĂ©e pour utĂ©rus cicatriciel associĂ© Ă  une grossesse gĂ©mellaire avec inertie utĂ©rine. Un capitonnage hĂ©mostatique a Ă©tĂ© nĂ©cessaire pour contrĂŽler l'hĂ©morragie, l'Ă©volution a Ă©tĂ© marquĂ©e par la survenue d'une nĂ©crose partielle utĂ©rine confirmĂ©e histologiquement. Nous insistons Ă  travers cette observation et sous la lumiĂšre de la revue de la littĂ©rature sur la nĂ©cessitĂ© d'un suivi post opĂ©ratoire des patientes qui bĂ©nĂ©ficient de capitonnage hĂ©mostatique pour mieux documenter l'efficacitĂ© et les complications de cet acte chirurgical qui reste encore sous Ă©valuĂ©.Key words: HĂ©morragie de la dĂ©livrance, Atonie utĂ©rine, capitonnage utĂ©rin, nĂ©crose utĂ©rin

    Uterine Inversion; A case report

    Get PDF
    The puerperal uterine inversion is a rare and severe complication occurring in the third stage of labour. The mechanisms are not completely known. However, extrinsic factors such as oxytocic arrests after a prolonged labour, umbilical cord traction or abdominal expression are pointed. Other intrinsic factors such as primiparity, uterine hypotonia, various placental localizations, fundic myoma or short umbilical cord were also reported. The diagnosis of the uterine inversion is mainly supported by clinical symptoms. It is based on three elements: haemorrhage, shock and a strong pelvic pain. The immediate treatment of the uterine inversion is required. It is based on a medical reanimation associated with firstly a manual reduction then surgical treatment using various techniques. We report an observation of a 25 years old grand multiparous patient with a subacute uterine inversion after delivery at home

    Endometrial Stromal Nodule: Report of a Case

    Get PDF
    Endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) is the least common of the endometrial stromal tumors. They are rare neoplasms which are diagnosed in most instances by light microscopy. Although such nodules are benign, hysterectomy has been considered the treatment of choice to determine the margins of the tumor required for diagnosis and to differentiate it from invasive stromal sarcoma Whose prognosis is totally different. We report a case of a 45 years old woman, with presurgical diagnosis of adnexal mass or uterine tumor. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy. Pathologic examination revealed an endometrial stromal nodule. Through this observation, we insist on the fact that the ESNs are rare and benign entities which must be differentiated from the other invasive malignant stromal tumors; this can change the final prognosis

    Recurrence of Uterine Rupture in a Pseudo-Unicornuate Uterus at 17 Weeks of Amenorrhea: Case Report and Literature Review

    Get PDF
    Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. It is responsible for several complications. Prognosis is reserved because the natural evolution generally leads to a cataclysmic uterine rupture at the beginning of the second trimester. Classically, the treatment after foetal extraction consists of ablation of the rudimentary horn and associated fallopian tube. We report the obstetric outcome of a patient with history of rudimentary uterine horn rupture, the treatment of which was ablation of the rudimentary horn

    Tuberous sclerosis complex presenting as pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis - A clinicoradiological diagnosis

    Get PDF
    Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) manifests predominantly as a neurocutaneous disorder. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare pulmonary manifestation of TSC. Imaging evaluation plays an important role in the assessment of patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. In newly diagnosed patients, it helps not only to confirm the diagnosis of TSC, but also helps in identifying clinically significant complications.We describe the radiological findings in lungs and other organs in a middle aged female with TSC
