Les premiers cas d'infection dus à un nouveau Coronavirus, le SARS-CoV-2 ont été enregistrés en Chine en décembre 2019. Cette maladie, désormais appelée COVID-19, a été déclarée comme pandémie par l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) trois mois après soit en mars 2020. Le plus souvent à l´origine d´un syndrome infectieux sans gravité, associant à différents degrés des symptômes bénins (fièvre, toux, myalgies, céphalées et éventuels troubles digestifs). Le SARS-CoV-2 peut être à l´origine de pathologies pulmonaires graves et parfois de décès. Les données sur les conséquences pendant la grossesse sont limitées. À l'heure actuelle, les données concernant l'infection par SARS-CoV-2 sont rassurantes et n'indiquent pas un nombre d'infection plus élevé ni un risque surajouté de complications chez la femme enceinte par rapport à la population générale. Quelques exceptionnels cas de mortalité maternelle existent, mais surviennent le plus souvent sur des terrains qui présentent d'autres pathologies, particulièrement la pré-éclampsie. L´objectif de notre travail est de rapporter les données cliniques, biologiques et évolutives materno-fœtales, à travers une étude rétrospective au sein de l´Hôpital Militaire Marocain COVID-19 de Benslimane, s´étalant sur une période de 3 mois allant du 21 juillet au 21 octobre 2020.
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery such as hysteroscopy has a low risk of complications. Infections, however, are more common in the presence of risk factors such as smoking, history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometriosis. We report the case of a patient who underwent operative hysteroscopy without immediate complications and was admitted 2 days later to the emergency department in a severe state of septic shock. With multiple organ failures requiring admission to an intensive care unit, the patient died despite extensive antibiotic therapy and vasoactive drugs. Ascending infection can be a potentially fatal complication of hysteroscopy, even in the absence of known risk factors.
Guillain-Barre’ syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune, inflammatory, demyelinating disease affecting the peripheral nervous system, responsible for a typical ascending flaccid paralysis with the classic albuminocytological dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid. Its occurrence during pregnancy is a rare eventuality. Through the clinical observation of a 33-year-old pregnant woman who had GBS during third trimester and a literature review, we will study the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and maternal-fetal prognostic aspects of this pathology during pregnancy.
The stomach is one of the frequent sites of metastasis from invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. The clinical presentation and the endoscopic findings for metastasis carcinoma are nonspecific and may mimic that of a primary gastric tumor. The distinction between these two neoplasms may be very difficult but essential as the basis of the treatment is different. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses are the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of the primary site. We report the case of a 68-yearold patient with metastatic breast cancer mimicking a primary stomach cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
