Spontaneous splenic rupture: case report and review of literature.

Splenic rupture is a potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with chest or abdominal trauma. Spontaneous rupture is very rare and is usually reported as being secondary to underlying pathological conditions. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture in a patient with no underlying disease pathology.

A Rare Internal Herniation in Adult: Meckel's Diverticulum.

Intestinal obstruction due to Meckel's diverticulum is the most common presentation in adults. There are various mechanisms by which it can cause intestinal obstruction such as volvulus of small intestine around a fibrous band extending from Meckel's diverticulum to umbilicus, intussusception, and Littre's hernia. We report the case of a young adult operated on emergency for acute intestinal obstruction.

Adult intussusception caused by an inflammatory fibroid ileal polyp.

Background: Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs) are rare benign lesions of uncertain origin that may occur in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract that originate from the sub mucosa located in different sites of the digestive tract. They are commonly located in the stomach and small bowel. It is one of the probable diagnoses that should be considered in obstructive tumors of the small intestine causing invagination.

Calcified liver hydatid cyst compressing the gall bladder.

A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to suffering from hydatid disease located in the gall bladder. Although Morocco remains an endemic area for echinococcosis, this presentation of the disease was rare. The pericyst was tightly attached to the liver.

Tuberculous appendicitis.

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis is quite rare, representing only 3% of all extrapulmonary cases. Involvement of the appendix is rare, only occurring in about 1% of cases. It is usually secondary to tuberculosis elsewhere in the abdomen.

[Perineal-scrotal gangrene: epidemiological and therapeutic aspects. About 45 cases].

Perineoscrotal gangrene is an acute disease, a rare and severe affection of the perineum, whose evolution is unpredictable and rapidly extensive. The diagnosis is clinical. The paraclinical examinations allow early diagnosis and assessment of anatomical and biological repercussions.

Mesenteric appendicitis strangulating small bowel: an exceptional internal herniation.

Primitive internal hernias are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. They are often paraduodenal even transmesocolic, but only rarely transomental. We present a rare case of an internal abdominal hernia in a young man.

Transmesocolic internal herniation: a rare case of small bowel obstruction, "the Marrakesh hernia".

Internal hernias, including paraduodenal (traditionally the most common), pericecal, foramen of Winslow, and intersigmoid hernias, account for approximately 0.5-5.8% of all cases of intestinal obstruction and are associated with a high mortality rate, exceeding 50% in some series.

[Sigmoid volvulus, a rare complication of pregnancy].

Sigmoid volvulus complicating pregnancy is a rare complication with less than 80 cases reported in literature. We report the case of a young pregnant woman, admitted for sigmoid volvulus. The sigmoid volvulus was resected and Bouilly-Volkmann's colostomy was performed.

[Appendicular mucocele caused by carcinoid tumor during pregnancy].

Mucocele of the appendix secondary to appendicular carcinoid tumour is a rare entity. It occurs exceptionally during pregnancy. The interaction between carcinoid tumour or mucocele of the appendix and pregnancy is not yet elucidated.

[Linitis plastica of the digestive tract. A case with involvement of the stomach and rectum].

The digestive linitis plastica is a special form of the little differentiate adenocarcinoma that can reach all the segments of the digestive tube, if the gastric localization is the most frequent, the double gastric and rectal localization is rare (7%) either is simultaneous or successive. The pathologic examination arrives only at the diagnostic of the digestive linitis without biasing against its primitive and secondary character. We report a case of this association in order to focus the importance of search and difficulty of the histologic diagnosis.
