Zinner syndrome: A rare congenital cause of infertility.

Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation characterized by cystic seminal vesicles and ejaculatory duct obstruction in association with ipsilateral renal agenesis. It appears to be frequently linked to infertility. However, recent advances in imaging, notably MRI, have led to an increase in the diagnosis of this pathology.

Pain in the back after a brain trauma-The revelation of a spinal subdural hematoma: A case report with a literature review.

Traumatic spinal subdural hematoma is a rare condition mostly favored by an anticoagulation therapy, a traumatic lumbar puncture, a hematologic disease, or an epidural anesthesia. This pathological condition can be subtle or be at the origin of a compression of the spinal cord and the rootlets resulting in an irreversible damage if an emergent surgery is not performed. We report the case of a 45-year-old man who has been a victim of a brain trauma which resulted in a cerebral edema.

Solitary plasmacytoma of the rib: A rare tumor to keep in mind: Case report.

Around 5% of plasma cell neoplasias are solitary plasmacytomas, a tumor that is fairly rare. The presence of a localized tumor composed of monoclonal plasma cells that are the same as those found in multiple myeloma and the absence of symptoms that would suggest a disseminated form are used to establish the diagnosis. The thoracolumbar spine is the area most affected.

[Postpartum idiopathic acute pancreatitis: diagnostic difficulties (case report)].

Acute pancreatitis during the postpartum period or during pregnancy is rare. Biliary disease is the most common cause of acute pancreatitis, followed by hypertriglyceridemia. We here report the case of a 19-year-old patient with acute pancreatitis occurring 4 weeks after delivery and revealed by epigastralgia radiating to the back, lipasemia more than 36 times the normal limit and etiologic investigation that gave negative results.
