[Superior mesenteric artery syndrome in gastric cancer: a case report].

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome or Wilkie syndrome is due to the compression of the third duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. It causes acute or chronic upper bowel occlusion. Abdominal CT scan facilitates the diagnosis.

[Giant lipoma of the back: a case report and litterature review].

Lipoma is a benign soft tissue tumour. It is a benign proliferation of mature adipocytes. It is described as giant when its weight exceeds 1 kg or its diameter exceeds 5 cm.

[Management Of Colonic Pseudotumor Anecdotal In Peace Hospital Of Ziguinchor].

Colonic pseudotumors secondary to fishbone perforation are rare and not easily diagnosed, as the clinical presentation is often misleading. We report the case of a 61-year-old man patient with no medicalhistory, whose clinical picture was in favor of a colonic tumor. The diagnosis of colonic perforation by fishbone was not possible preoperatively due to lack of CT scan.

Splenic lymphangioma.

Introduction: Abdominal localization of cyst lymphangioma is rare. The splenic involvement is exceptional.

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old woman, who was followed for martial anemia evolving associated with abdominal pain in the past 12 months.

Cystic mesenteric lymphangioma: A case report.

Introduction: Cystic lymphangioma is a benign malformative tumor. The abdominal localization is rare. The diagnosis is not easy in preoperative period.

[Acute intestinal occlusion revealing abdominal pregnancy: a case study].

Abdominal pregnancy (AP) is defined as the implantation and the development of the fertilized egg in the peritoneal cavity. It is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy, whose detection can be fortuitous, mimicking surgical emergency. We report a rare case of acute febrile bowel obstruction revealing abdominal pregnancy in a 27-year old patient, with no particular past medical history, admitted to hospital for the treatment of occlusive syndrome evolving over the last week.

[Complicated Meckel diverticula: about 15 cases].

We conducted a retrospective study of 15 patients with complicated Meckel diverticula treated in the emergency surgery at the Aristide Le Dantec Hospital, Dakar, over a period of 13 years (January 2003-June 2016). The study included 10 men and 5 women, whose average age was 27.8 years, ranging between 1 months and 73 years.

Traumatic diaphragmatic injuries: epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Introduction: Diaphragmatic injuries include wounds and diaphragm ruptures, due to a thoracoabdominal blunt or penetrating traumas. Their incidence ranges between 0.8 and 15 %.

Id3 modulates cellular localization of bHLH Ptf1-p48 protein.

Ptf1-p48 is a pancreas-specific bHLH transcriptional protein, which, in the normal adult pancreas, shows a restricted expression in acinar cells where it is predominantly localized in the nucleus and activates the transcription of exocrine-specific genes. Ptf1-p48 partners with two proteins to form the PTF1 active complex: a bHLH E-protein and suppressor of hairless RBP-J. Cytoplasmic mislocalization of Ptf1-p48 has been reported in pancreatic pathologies, suggesting its contribution in the early steps of pancreatic carcinogenesis.

Appendicular peritonitis in situs inversus totalis: a case report.

Introduction: Situs inversus is a congenital anomaly characterized by the transposition of the abdominal viscera. When associated with dextrocardia, it is known as situs inversus totalis. This condition is rare and can be a diagnostic problem when associated with appendicular peritonitis.

Giant splenic pseudocyst, a rare aetiology of abdominal tumor: a case report.

Introduction: Splenic pseudocysts are nonparasitic cyst without epithelial lining. We report this case especially by its way of revelation, its large size and its per operative presentation which needed total splenectomy. To this opportunity, we discuss the diagnostic procedure and therapeutic indications.

Internal supravesical hernia as a rare cauase of intestinal obstruction: a case report.

Introduction: Supravesical hernias develop at the supravesical fossa between the remnants of the urachus and the left or right umbilical artery. They are often the cause of intestinal obstruction. We describe the anatomical variant of the supravesical hernia in this case and discuss the pre-operative findings revealed by computed tomography.

[The surgical treatment results of ulcerous pyloro-duodenal stenosis: about 160 cases].

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of the surgical treatment of ulcerous pyloro duodenal stenosis at Dakar.

Patients And Methods: We carried out a retrospective study including 160 medical records of patients presenting an ulcerous pyloroduodenal stenosis from January 2000 to December 2006. After a mean follow up of 16 months, surgical outcomes were evaluated including mortality and morbidity.

Arterial and vena caval resections combined with pancreaticoduodenectomy in highly selected patients with periampullary malignancies.

Background/aims: To obtain a margin-negative resection and increase the indication for resection of periampullary malignancies, pancreaticoduodenectomy with a SM-PVR (superior mesenterico-portal vein resection) has been performed. However, an arterial resection, other vascular resections except SM-PVR (e.g.
