Endemic scorpion species and subspecies in Morocco: A comprehensive overview.

Scorpion fauna is abundant in regions with arid and semi-arid climates, exposing these areas to a risk of envenomation, especially for children. Scorpion envenomations cause thousands of deaths each year, with notable incidences in the MENA region, South America, Latin and Central America, and India. Morocco is one of the countries most affected by this phenomenon; according to statistics from the Moroccan Poison Control and Pharmacovigilance Center (CAPM), approximately 8565 scorpion stings and envenomations were recorded annually between 2016 and 2022, mainly among children.

Atypical Cogan syndrome: a case report.

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.

A case report of labyrinthine infarction: a 'central' cause of vertigo with 'peripheral' presentation.

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.

Intra-Parotid Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Following Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy: A Case Report.

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.

The Role of Surgery in the Treatment of Cervical Lymph Node Tuberculosis.

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.
