Introduction: The combination of talar neck fractures with malleolar fractures is a rare. This rare association accounts for 0.3 % of all bone fractures.

Scoliosis secondary to neglected Hemivertebra: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: A hemivertebra is a congenital anomaly of the spine characterized by an incomplete vertebra resulting from a failure in the formation of the vertebral body. The significance of this article lies in the fact that early diagnosis of hemivertebra allows for personalized surgical treatment, which can enhance outcomes and prevent the development of spinal deformities and associated complications.

Case Presentation: We report on the case of a 17-year-old girl with scoliosis secondary to lumbar hemivertebra, where surgical management was very late due to parental negligence, which delayed diagnosis.

A rare combination of sagittal fracture of the medial femoral condyle (Trélat fracture) with an ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture: A case report.

Introduction: Isolated unicondylar fractures of the distal femur are rare injuries, accounting for 3-6 % of adult femur fractures. The association with a femoral shaft fracture is very rare and, to our knowledge, has, never been described in the literature.

Case Presentation: In this article, we report the case of a 19-year-old motorcyclist involved in an accident, that resulted in both a midshaft transverse femoral fracture and an ipsilateral sagittal fracture of the medial femoral condyle (Trélat fracture).

Spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy: Diagnosis and surgical management.

Introduction: Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare form of pregnancy, defined by the coexistence of an ectopic and an intrauterine pregnancy. The diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy remains one of the greatest challenges of the gynecological-obstetrical emergencies.

Case Presentation: We report a rare case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy of a 28-year-old woman, diagnosed with a heterotopic pregnancy by ultrasound and treated by laparotomy in emergency obstetrical department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca.

Rupture of a dermoid cyst in the subarachnoid space: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Intracranial dermoid cysts (IDC) are defined as rare, slow-growing cystic congenital neoplasms. Rupture of an intracranial dermoid cyst occurs rarely and most often spontaneously and results in potentially serious symptoms.

Case Presentation: A39-year-old female, with mechanical prosthetic heart valve presented with history of headache for 10 months and generalized tonicoclonic seizures.

Rare localisation of a recurrent desmoid tumour of the foot: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid tumour is a rare soft tissue tumour that develops from supporting tissues and fascia. Although benign, fibromatosis is a tumour that can be locally invasive, and surgical treatment is often difficult. The interest of this observation is to show the particular characteristics of desmoid tumours: the frequency, the major difficulties of excision and the role of adjuvant treatment in the management of these tumours.

En bloc vertebrectomy: A radical technique for spinal metastases but rarely used.

Introduction And Importance: Total vertebrectomy En bloc by posterior approach is proposed for primary or secondary single-site malignant tumors of the spine to reduce local recurrence and increase patient survival. This type of surgery is gaining increasing recognition. However, it requires a high level of technical skill and knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the spine.

Solitary ovarian plasmacytoma: About a rare entity of extramedullary plasma cell tumor.

Introduction: Solitary ovarian plasmacytoma is a rare form of extramedullary plasmacytic tumor that develops outside the bone marrow.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 52-year-old female patient who consulted for pelvic pain and abdominal distension. Clinical examination revealed an abdominopelvic mass and a pelvic MRI confirmed a right ovarian mass.

A rare case of fetal sirenomelia malformation in the third trimester with its ultrasound appearance and review of the literature.

Unlabelled: Sirenomelia is a very rare congenital anomaly and is the most severe form of fetal caudal agenesis, characterised by partial or total fusion of the lower limbs, generally associated with severe abnormalities of the urinary and digestive systems, including disappearance of the kidneys, which can be fatal. Our aim was to diagnose this malformation as early as possible in pregnancy, in order to distinguish it from caudal regression syndrome, and to monitor the obstetric complications associated with this pathology. Given that the patient decided to carry the pregnancy to term, we succeeded in monitoring the complications of this malformative pathology.

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases: State of the puzzle.

The constant progress of genomics and the establishment of new functional tests have paved the way for identifying monogenic defects conferring a selective predisposition to infections by certain microbes as a new type of inborn errors of immunity (IEIs). Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) is the most characterized of these IEIs, with 36 different disorders found in 20 distinct genes (, and ) over the last 20 years. MSMD confers a selective susceptibility to infections with weakly virulent mycobacteria, including the .

Classification of common variable immunodeficiency through immunological and clinical phenotyping in Moroccan patients.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a complex inborn error of humoral immunity with complications of both infectious and non-infectious origins. Classifications of CVID patients provide a clearer understanding of the pathogenesis, prediction, and management of non-infectious complications. This study aims to classify Moroccan CVID patients based on the European classification (EUROclass).
