Background: Cogan syndrome is a rare autoimmune systemic vasculitis presenting with interstitial keratitis and audiovestibular symptoms. The atypical form, characterized by more extensive ocular lesions with audiovestibular symptoms appearing with a longer delay and more frequent systemic features, is usually underdiagnosed, delaying treatment.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 30-year-old Mediterranean female who presented recurrent left red and painful eye.
Introduction And Importance: The inner ear is considered an 'end organ' since its vascular supply comes from one terminal artery, making the labyrinth especially vulnerable to ischemia, causing loss of auditory and vestibular function with variable clinical patterns according to the different arterial distribution in the inner ear and which vascular branches are concerned by the embolism.
Case Presentation: We report a misleading case of central vascular vertigo caused by a labyrinthine infarction resulting from an embolic vertebral artery, which manifested in a typical peripheral clinical presentation mimicking a vestibular neuritis.
Clinical Discussion: Vertigo is the result of asymmetrical responses from the vestibules of both ears resulting from any disruption along the complex vestibular pathways, whether peripheral or central.
Introduction: Intra-parotid metastasis refers to the spread of cancerous cells from a primary tumor to the lymph nodes within the parotid gland. To our best knowledge, we report the first described case in the literature of a patient who received IMRT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (UCNT) without sparing the parotid gland and still experienced a recurrence.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male patient of north African origin presented with a left parotid mass that had been evolving for 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the significance of WHRN gene variants, which are linked to non-syndromic hearing loss and Usher syndrome type II, a condition affecting both hearing and vision.
- - Researchers conducted exome sequencing on a Moroccan patient with severe hearing loss, revealing a specific mutation (c.619G > T; p.Ala207Ser) in the WHRN gene, crucial for binding protein complexes in ear and eye cells.
- - Bioinformatics analysis and molecular modeling suggest that this mutation may alter the structure of the WHRN protein, potentially explaining the patient's hearing impairment.
Cervical lymph node tuberculosis is a public health problem in Morocco and the rest of the world. Its paucibacillary nature makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. This is a descriptive-analytical retrospective study presenting 104 cases of patients with manifestations of cervical lymph node tuberculosis confirmed by pathological examination (100%), associated in some cases with positive bacteriology (40.
