    La diverticulose appendiculaire se définit comme l´existence de diverticule(s) sur l´appendice cæcal, réalisant des tableaux cliniques polymorphes avec infection de l´appendice et de la région péri-appendiculaire. On présente le cas d´une jeune patiente de 28 ans sans antécédents pathologiques notables consultant en urgence pour syndrome douloureux et fébrile de la fosse iliaque droite associé à des vomissements. L´examen de l´abdomen trouve une température à 38,5°C, une nette sensibilité de la fosse iliaque droite avec un signe de Blumberg positif et un toucher rectal douloureux à droite. Les diagnostics différentiels en particulier avec une infection urinaire ont été éliminés devant la négativité de l´examen cytobactériologiques des urines. D´autres diagnostics tels que la maladie de Crohn et les tumeurs coliques étaient éliminés du fait de l´anamnèse et du contexte. Le diagnostic d´appendicite aiguë a été porté, le patient a été opéré par voie coelioscopique permettant de découvrir un appendice latérocecal interne phlegmoneux avec présence de deux diverticules au niveau de la pointe et du corps de l´appendice (A: vue peropératoire coelioscopique de l´appendice phlegmoneux siège de diverticules). Il a été réalisé une appendicectomie (B: vue macroscopique de l´appendice montrant les diverticules) sans incidents et l´examen histologique avait conclu à une appendicite aiguë avec diverticules appendiculaires non compliqués. Les suites opératoires étaient simples

    Surgical management of groove pancreatitis: a case report

    Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis involving the groove area bound by the pancreatic head, the duodenum, and the common bile duct. The diagnosis of this entity is challenging since it can mimic pancreatic carcinoma. We herein report the case of groove pancreatitis diagnosed in a 37 year old men, with a past history of chronic alcohol consumption. The patient was admitted for several times over the past three years because of recurrent alcohol-induced pancreatitis. The diagnosis of groove pancreatitis was made on the basis of CT, MRI and EUS findings. A medical treatment was initially attempted. In the absence of improvement in clinical symptoms, a pancreatico-duodenectomy was performed with satisfying results at 24 months follow up. Pancreatico-duodenectomy is the treatment of choice in groove pancreatitis since it leads to total resolution of clinical symptoms

    NĂ©crose gastrique secondaire Ă  un volvulus gastrique compliquant une hernie hiatale

    Le volvulus gastrique aigu est une situation rare compliquant 4% des hernies hiatales. C'est la rotation plus ou moins complète de l'estomac autour d'un axe transversal ou longitudinal. Il peut conduire à des perforations par nécrose ischémique pariétale de l'estomac, au pronostic très sévère (30% de mortalité). Une patiente âgée de 89 ans, bronchopathe chronique, consultait pour des épigastralgies associées à des vomissements évoluant depuis 03 jours. A l’examen, elle était fébrile à 38.5, dyspnéique (spO2 à 88% à l´air ambiant), ayant un faciès infecté, l’abdomen était souple, sensible au niveau de l’épigastre. A la biologie, SIB (GB= 22000, CRP= 80). Une TDM abdominale a été réalisée montrant une hernie hiatale associée à une importante distension gastrique avec défect pariétal de la face antérieure de l’estomac associé à une pneumatose pariétalegastrique. La patiente a été opérée par voie médiane, l’exploration a trouvé une volumineuse hernie hiatale contenant la grande courbure gastrique. L’estomac distendu a été réintégré en position intraabdominale. La face antérieure de la grosse tubérosité était siège de plusieurs zones de nécrose Une gastrectomie totale avec anastomose Oeso-jéjunale manuelle sur une anse montée en Y a été réalisée. Les suites opératoires se sont compliquées de SDRA. La malade décédait au 8ème jour en réanimation. Le volvulus gastrique est une affection rare, dont l’évolution peut être gravissime. La tomodensitométrie permet de dresser le bilan lésionnel thoracique et d’étudier la vitalité de l’estomac. Le traitement de choix reste chirurgical

    Hydatid disease is endemic in Tunisia. The involvement of the female genital tract is uncommon, and the occurrence in the fallopian tube is exceptional. We present a case of a 42-year-old woman who had complained of a 4-month history of lower abdominal pain. The abdominal ultrasonography and CT scan showed a multiloculated cystic lesion in the left adnexa. The exploratory laparotomy found a cystic mass developing in the left fallopian tube. Left salpingectomy was performed. The pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst disease. No recurrence was detected at the 2-year follow-up. Tubal hydatid cyst is an extremely rare condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic lesion in patients from endemic areas

    Large pedunculated colonic lipoma: a rare cause of colorectal intussusception in adults

    Colo-rectal intussusception is rare in adults and is often secondary to malignant lesions, rarely benign lesions such as colonic lipomas can also be the cause. We present the case a 60-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. On physical examination, the abdomen was distended with diffuse tenderness. CT scan of the abdomen revealed a colo-rectal intussusception secondary to a rectal lipoma with parietal pneumatosis of the invaginated loop. An emergency laparotomy was performed. Intraoperatively the radiological findings were confirmed. A rectosigmoid resection (Hartmann's procedure) taking off the lipoma and the invaginated segment of the colon was performed and the patient had an unevent full recovery. Histopathology confirmed a 6cm sub-mucosal lipoma without evidence of malignancy. As the diagnosis of a benign disease in patients presenting with colonic intussusception can only be made on pathological examination, this entity should be managed as a malignant lesion due to the high incidence of malignancy

    A case report of small bowel obstruction secondary to congenital peritoneal band in adult

    Introduction: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is common in adult surgical procedures, mainly due to postoperative adhesions. Acute SBO in adults without history of abdominal surgery, trauma or clinical hernia is less common and has various etiologies. Congenital band is an extremely rare cause. Presentation of case: A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a two-day history of abdominal pain and bilious vomiting. He had no history of abdominal surgery or any other medical problems. A contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen showed a distention of small bowel loops with transition point in the right hypochondrium. Distended loops of small bowel were located in the left side of the abdomen, whereas collapsed loops was located in the right side. The normal bowel wall enhancement was preserved. After initial treatment with intravenous fluid and nasogastric suction, he was operated. At laparoscopy a band obstructing the ileum was clearly observed. This anomalous band extending from gallbladder to transverse mesocolon caused a small window leading to internal herniation of the small bowel and obstruction. The band was coagulated and divided. Postoperative outcome was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. There was no recurrence of symptoms on subsequent follow-up. Discussion: Congenital peritoneal bands are not frequently encountered in surgical practice and these bands are often difficult to classify and define. Diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction due to CPB must be included in the differential diagnosis in any patient with no history of abdominal surgery, trauma, clinical hernia, inflammatory bowel disease or peritoneal tuberculosis. Conclusion: Despite technological advances in radiology preoperative diagnosis remains difficult, however the diagnosis of SBO due to CPB must be considered in any patient with no history of abdominal surgery, Trauma or clinical hernia consulting for occlusive syndrome. The laparoscopic approach should be intended initially for its feasibility and benefits
