La trichotillomanie est un trouble psychiatrique négligé qui pousse à s'arracher les cheveux, mais aussi les sourcils ou tout autre poil dont rarement les cils. Elle est définie dans le Manuel diagnostique et Statistique des Troubles Mentaux en tant que trouble des habitudes et des impulsions. A travers cette observation, nous rapportons le cas d'une fille qui souffre de trichotillomanie des cils de l'œil gauche suite à une faible estime de soi. La maladie peut être épisodique mais généralement chronique et difficile à traiter. Sur la base des éventuelles complications médicales et psychiatriques, il est important que le diagnostic soit exact et précoce. Le traitement de référence repose sur la thérapie cognitive et comportementale.
Retinochoroiditis is the most common ocular manifestation of congenital toxoplasmosis, but other associated ophthalmological pathologies can also occur. Ophthalmologists are rarely able to distinguish between toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis due to infection acquired before or after birth, unless other clinical or serological indications are present. This article reports a case of a 3-year-old boy with abnormalities suggestive of congenital toxoplasmosis. The clinical and complementary examinations are discussed. The education of pregnant women is crucial for the prevention of congenital toxoplasmosis. Awareness of antenatal and postnatal presenting signs and symptoms is important for clinicians, because early diagnosis and treatment may minimize sequelae. Untreated, the majority of affected infants will develop chorioretinitis, deafness and/or neurological symptoms.
