Sarcoidosis in north African people: about 35 cases.

Background And Aim: Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown cause characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomatous inflammation in various organs, mainly  lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Its clinical and paraclinical presentation can vary from mild to life-threatening. Our objective is to study the clinical, paraclinical and evolution profile of mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Incidence of complications after nonoperating room anesthesia in children in a low- and middle-income country: A prospective and observational study.

Introduction: Nonoperating room anesthesia is a growing field of medicine that can have an increased risk of complications, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of complications after pediatric nonoperating room anesthesia and investigate its risk factors.

Methods: In this prospective observational study, we included all children aged less than 5 years who were sedated or anesthetized in the radiology setting of a university hospital in a low- and middle-income country.

Squamous cell carcinoma and Crohn's disease: a sometimes-challenging diagnosis.

Non-melanoma skin cancers are more common in people with inflammatory bowel disease. However, these tumors can rarely mimic a cutaneous manifestation of the disease, which delays diagnosis and clouds prognosis. A 35-year-old man with stenosing and fistulizing ileocolic Crohn's disease developed squamous cell carcinoma mimicking a groin fold abscess.

Moyamoya Angiopathy: An Underdiagnosed Cause of Ischemic Stroke in a Tunisian Pediatric Cohort.

Background: Moyamoya angiopathy is a rare cerebral vasculopathy and an underdiagnosed cause of arterial ischemic stroke in children. We aim to report the clinical and radiological presentations in a Tunisian pediatric cohort.

Methods: We identified moyamoya angiopathy in pediatric patients managed at the Child Neurology Department of Hedi Chaker Sfax University Hospital between 2008 and 2020 and reviewed their clinical and radiological data as well as their evolutionary profile.

Subglottic Masses Revealing Rosai-Dorfman Disease.

Unlabelled: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder; RDD with oropharyngeal involvement is extremely rare, especially in adults. A 65-year-old woman with a complaint of progressive dyspnoea since 2016 presented with laryngeal involvement of RDD. A laryngoscopy examination revealed two solid, polypoid masses in the subglottic region, and a laryngeal biopsy concluded chronic inflammation without signs of malignancy.

Design and Rationale of the National Observational Multicentric Tunisian Registry of Hypertension: Protocol for Evaluating Hypertensive Patient Care in Clinical Practice.

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the care of hypertensive patients in daily clinical practice in public and private centers in all Tunisian regions.

Objective: This study will provide us an overview of hypertension (HTN) management in Tunisia and the degree of adherence of practitioners to international recommendations.

Methods: This is a national observational cross-sectional multicenter study that will include patients older than 18 years with HTN for a duration of 4 weeks, managed in the public sector from primary and secondary care centers as well as patients managed in the private sector.

Epidemiologic features and management of hypertension in Tunisia, the results from the Hypertension National Registry (NaTuRe HTN).

Background: Hypertension is the leading cause of morbi-mortality in our country. Thus, we conducted this national survey on hypertension to analyze the profile of the Tunisian hypertensive patient and to assess the level of blood pressure control.

Methods: Nature HTN is an observational multicentric survey, including hypertensive individuals and consulting their doctors during the period of the study.

Accelerated silicosis and silico-tuberculosis: A difficult diagnosis.

It is well established that exposure to respirable crystalline silica is associated with higher mortality. Such exposures are associated with an increased risk of silico-tuberculosis, silicosis, and other respiratory morbidities. We report two cases of accelerated silicosis, complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary infection.

Suprasellar Melanocytoma with Leptomeningeal Seeding: An Aggressive Clinical Course for a Histologically Benign Tumor.

Introduction: Meningeal melanocytoma (MM) is a very rare neuroectodermal neoplasm arising from the leptomeninges. Primary suprasellar melanocytomas are exceedingly rare, with only a handful of cases reported. The systemic spread of a nontransformed meningeal melanocytoma is an unusual occurrence.

Multifocal bone tuberculosis simulating metastasis.

Multiple skeletal tuberculosis can be the first sign of tuberculosis. In such cases, physicians should consider tuberculosis diagnosis and take biopsies for anatomopathological evidence to make the correct diagnosis.

Breast tuberculosis: a diagnosis not to be forgotten.

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics and imaging features of breast tuberculosis (TB) and to describe treatment.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study including all patients hospitalized in the infectious diseases department for breast TB between 1997 and 2018.

Results: Twenty-two women, with a mean age of 39±12 years, were identified.

Congenital lung malformations : analysis of 27 cases.

Introduction: Congenital lung malformations (CLM) include a complex range of developmental abnormalities. Currently, most are diagnosed prenatally or during early childhood.

Objective: to investigate clinical and imaging findings of congenital lung malformations in children.

Aortic thrombosis associated with COVID 19 pneumonia.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) predispose to both venous and arterial thrombotic events, especially in severe patients. There are reports of lowe risk patients whose courses are complicated by arterial thrombosis. We report the case of 53 year-old woman who presented  with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19 with descending aortic thrombosis.

Tuberculous and Brucellar Spondylodiscitis: Comparative Analysis of Clinical, Laboratory, and Radiological Features.

Study Design: This was a retrospective study.

Purpose: The aim was to compare the clinical, laboratory, radiological, and evolutionary features of tuberculous spondylodiscitis (TS) and brucellar spondylodiscitis (BS).

Overview Of Literature: Clinical presentation of spondylodiscitis varies according to the underlying etiology, among which brucellosis and tuberculosis represent the primary cause, in endemic countries.

[Splenic artery aneurysm rupture at the end of pregnancy: a case study].

Bleeding during pregnancy may not be due to obstetric causes. Pregnancy is a predisposing factor for some disorders due to physiological changes. These obstetric bleedings are rare but are responsible for high materno-fetal mortality.

Combination of amphotericin B and caspofungin in the treatment of mucormycosis.

We report a case of invasive mucormycosis in 52 year-old woman. CT-scan and magnetic resonance imaging found a partial right sinus thrombosis associated with homolateral ethmoidal and maxillary sinusitis with submucosal inflammation. Histopathological examination of excised tissue was positive for mucormycosis.

Minimal change disease in horseshoe kidney.

The horseshoe kidney is a frequent urological birth defect. The most frequent complications are urinary tract infections, stones and hydronephrosis. The occurrence of glomerular disease in horseshoe kidney is rare.
