Gardner syndrome in a Tunisian family: Identification of a rare APC mutation through targeted NGS.

Gardner syndrome (GS) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) characterized by colorectal polyps, multiple osteomas, soft tissue tumors, and specific oral manifestations, such as jaw osteomas. GS is caused by mutations in the APC gene, resulting in a nonfunctional protein. This study reports a comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic analysis of a Tunisian family affected by GS.

Cystic Echinococcosis of the Liver: Correlation Between Intra-Operative Ultrasound and Pre-Operative Imaging.

Imaging plays an essential role in the management of hepatic hydatid cysts (HCE). The objective of our study was to determine the correlation between pre-operative ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and intra-operative ultrasound (IOUS) in studying the characteristics and complications of HCE. This was a prospective, descriptive, and analytical study conducted in the General Surgery Department of Habib Bourguiba Hospital in Sfax.

Predictive factors of occult cystobiliary fistulas during conservative treatment of hepatic hydatid cyst: a prospective study.

Background: Occult cystobiliary fistula (CBF) is a common complication of hepatic hydatid cyst (HHC). It is often the cause of high morbidity of conservative treatment of HHC. This study aimed to determine the predictive factors of occult CBF to establish the indications for the investigation and treatment of these CBFs.

Viability predictive factors of the daughter vesicles in hepatic cystic echinococcosis.

Introduction: Management of cystic echinococcosis (CE) requires knowledge of certain aspects related to the survival of Echinococcus granulosus. The viability of daughter vesicles (DV) is a determining factor in guiding therapeutic indications, particularly for transiently active Cysts type CE3b.

Purpose: To determine the predictive factors of DV viability and its impact on the therapeutic management of CE3b type.
