Neurological and Cardiovascular Complications Revealing Biermer's Disease: A Case Report.

Biermer's disease (BD) or pernicious anemia (PA) is an autoimmune atrophic gastritis characterized by the absence of intrinsic factor (IF) secretion, leading to malabsorption of vitamin B12 in the ileum. Its clinical manifestations are primarily hematological, with neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular manifestations being less common. We present the case of a patient with PA diagnosed based on neurological and cardiovascular complications.

Erythromelalgia Secondary to Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Alpha Therapy: A Report of Two Cases.

Erythromelalgia is a rare syndrome with a generally unknown etiology. Whether primary or secondary, this condition is characterized by paroxysmal episodes of erythema, pain, and heat in the extremities.

[Gastrointestinal bleeding due to the expulsion of cyanoacrylate glue after endoscopic embolization of gastric varices: a case report].

Embolization of gastric varices with cyanoacrylate glue is the treatment of choice for digestive bleeding due to rupture of gastric varices. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to the expulsion of cyanoacrylate glue after gluing of gastric varices is a rare complication. We here report the case of a 65-year-old female patient on cirrhosis and decompensation treatment, undergoing cyanoacrylate glue of gastric varices 3 months before her admission for upper gastrointestinal bleeding; oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy objectified oesophageal varices grade 2 with ulcerated gastric varices and active bleeding due to the expulsion of cyanoacrylate glue.

[Common variable immune deficiency complicated by amyloidosis: a case report].

Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) is the most common symptomatic immunodeficiency in adults, but it remains rare. It is characterized by its extremely heterogeneous phenotypic spectrum. We here report the case of a 39-year-old patient presenting with chronic diarrhoea with anal fistula.

[Autoimmune hepatitis following acute severe Epstein-Barr virus hepatitis].

Non-alphabetical hepatitis (Epstein Barr virus -EBV-, cytomegalovirus -CMV-, Herpes simplex virus -HSV-, varicella zoster virus -VZV-etc.) may be a mode of revelation of several underlying chronic liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (HAI). We report a peculiar case of acute EBV hepatitis, revealing type I autoimmune hepatitis confirmed by liver biopsy through puncture in a female patient on breast cancer treatment.

[Krukenberg tumour: about 5 cases].

Krukenberg tumours are rare, often bilateral ovarian malignant tumours secondary to muco-secreting gastric cancer, in 90% of cases. We collected data from patients' medical records over a period of 17years, between January 2002 and January 2019. These patients had Krukenberg tumors for which they were treated in the Department of Hepato-Gastro-Enterology at the Ibn Rochd Hospital University.

Foreign-body ingestion is a common cause of admission to the Division of Gastroenterology. However foreign-body lodged in the ileocecal region is very rare. This study aims to report the exceptional case of a patient with a foreign body lodged in the ileocecal region revealed by sub-occlusive syndromes.

[Common variable immune deficiency lately revealed by gastrointestinal problems: about a case].

Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) is rare. It is a constitutional deficit of humoral immunity characterized by recurrent bacterial infections and by increased frequency of tumors, autoimmune or granulomatous diseases. Gastrointestinal manifestations are very variable and sometimes reveal common variable immune deficiency.

[Gastric trichobezoar: about a case].

Trichobezoar is rare, most often asymptomatic condition which can be easily diagnosed using oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy. Treatment is usually based on surgery. We here report the case of a 16-year old girl who underwent gastric trichobezoar extraction via gastrotomy, without complications.

Hepatic primary neuroendocrine carcinoma: about a new case.

We report a new case of Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma admitted in our hospital and revealed in 53 years man by epigastric pain and flush syndrome. A liver biopsy with immunohistochemical study confirmed the original location of a neuroendocrine carcinoma. After 12 cures of Chemotherapy and a follow up of 12 months, the patient is still in complete remission.

Risk factors for liver fibrosis among human immunodeficiency virus monoinfected patients using the FIB4 index in Morocco.

Aim: To study the prevalence and risk factors of significant hepatic fibrosis in Moroccan human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) monoinfected patients.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among HIV monoinfected patients (negative for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody). Clinical and laboratory data were collected from the data base of the Infectious Diseases Unit in Ibn Rochd Hospital Center [age, gender, duration of HIV infection, CD4 T lymphocyte count, HIV viral load, glycemia and current or prior use of antiretroviral and antiretroviral therapy (ART) duration].
