Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Revealing Renogastric Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review
A renogastric fistula is a rare complication defined by abnormal communication between the kidney and the stomach. We report the case of a patient admitted to the intensive care unit for hemorrhagic shock following upper gastrointestinal bleeding whose radiological investigations revealed a fistulated renal hematoma in the stomach
Osler-Weber-Rendu Disease Uncovered by Preeclampsia in a Case Report
Osler-Weber-Rendu disease (OWRD), called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, is an uncommon genetic illness with the dominant autosomal transmission. It cannot be easily or quickly diagnosed because of both its infrequency and its various associated symptoms. As far as its symptoms are concerned, the patient experiences recurring epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectasia, and arteriovenous malformations that can lead to severe undesirable symptoms. In our case, we report a 32-year-old female that was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and whose paraclinical examinations showed that she suffers from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia disease. Management of OWRD includes systematic diagnosis of visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in regular intervals, measures to prevent complications, and symptomatic treatment
Hypercalcemia of Malignancy Revealing a Parathyroid Carcinoma with Hepatic Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare malignant tumor of the parathyroid gland. This cancer poses a great diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty due to its rarity and the absence of a characteristic clinical and paraclinical picture. The diagnosis is histological but is not always easy. Surgery remains the only curative treatment, and cervical radiotherapy can be discussed. Good prognostic factors are complete monobloc tumor resection, and bad prognostic factors are the presence of lymph node metastases at diagnosis, distant metastases, and nonsecreting carcinomas
