[Female hypospadias diagnosed in an adolescent].

Hypospadias is an exceptional congenital anomaly in females, contrasted with hypospadias in males, which is much more common. In girls, the diagnosis is made only a few months after birth or later. Female hypospadias involves total or partial agenesis of the urethrovaginal septum, resulting in urinary drainage into the genital tract.

[Primary focal segmental glomerular sclerosis in children: epidemiology and prognosis].

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the morphologic description of a glomerular lesion which is "focal", meaning a few but not all of the total sampled glomeruli have and "segmental" solidification of the tuft that is an accumulation of extracellular matrix with obliteration of the capillary lumina (sclerosis). It represents 20% of nephrotic syndrome in children and adults. To study the role of epidemiology, clinical presentation, histology, and treatment in the prognosis of HSF child, we retrospectively analyzed 23 children with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) hospitalized in pediatric nephrology unit of Children's Hospital Harrouchi Abderrahim, CHU Ibn Rochd Casablanca from January 2000 to December 2012.

[Renal ultrasound in fat necrosis].

Subcutaneous fat necrosis is an uncommon disease that may be complicated with potentially fatal hypercalcemia or with nephrocalcinosis. We report on the case of a patient with a history of significant perinatal asphyxia, hospitalized for a urinary tract infection. Lesions of subcutaneous fat necrosis were noted, with asymptomatic hypercalcemia at 3.

[Purpura fulminans, venous thrombosis and constitutional thrombophilia in an infant].

The association of idiopathic purpura fulminans (PF) and venous thrombosis (VT) seldom reveals constitutional thrombophilia in an infant. We report a case of PF in an 18-month-old infant. Laboratory tests showed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIVC) with normal rates of C and S proteins and antithrombin.

[Primary peritonitis in children with nephrotic syndrome].

The primitive peritonitis (PP) is one of the rare but severe complications of the nephrotic syndrome. Through a series of 25 children who suffer from a primitive peritonitis complicating or revealing a nephritic syndrome, we tried to analyse the epidemiological and bacteriological aspects of these peritonitis. The mean age of the children is 7 years old with neat male predominance (3 boys/1 girl).
