“…The abdomino-pelvic echography makes it possible to find the ovarian mass and to specify its seat, its size, its echostructure, the existence or not of partitions, sediments, vegetations, intracystic calcifications. This examination has a specificity of 93% and a sensitivity of 80%, which makes it the gold standard for diagnosis [25]. It also helps to guide a possible puncture as well as the monitoring of patients before and after treatment [15] [17].…”

Introduction: Ovarian cysts are rare pathologies in infants. They represent 1% to 2% of all abdominal tumors in children. Abdominal pain is the most frequent initial sign. Sometimes the discovery is fortuitous, revealed by an abdominal ultrasound. We report here the case of an ovarian cyst in an infant in order to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic particularities. Patient and observation: 2-year-old infant, female, weighing 12 kg and with no particular pathological history, was admitted to our department for pain plus abdominal mass evolving for 2 months. The clinical examination had noted: a mass ranging from FID to hypogastrium, painless, of firm consistency, with regular contour, with a smooth and mobile surface in relation to the deep plane. The abdominal ultrasound performed had concluded to a mesenteric cyst. The treatment consisted of a monobloc total cystectomy with preservation of the healthy ovarian tissue by a transverse laparotomy under the umbilical. The postoperative course was simple; the histological study of the surgical specimen had concluded to a serous cystadenoma. Conclusion: Ovarian cysts are benign tumors in most cases. Abdominal pain is the most common initial symptom at any age. Sometimes they can be incidentally discovered by ultrasound. The preservation of healthy ovarian tissue in the rules of oncological surgery allows the preservation of subsequent fertility.

“…In Congo, studies carried out on patients living with homozygous sickle cell disease show high prevalence of delayed puberty ranging from 28.7% to 53.7% and therefore constitutes a worrying health problem [9] [10]. Some factors influencing pubertal development in adolescents living with homozygous sickle cell disease such as inadequate nutritional intake and deficiencies in essential micronutrients are preventable [11] [12].…”

Introduction: Pubertal development is a process leading to the acquisition of reproductive capacities. Among the factors that inhibit pubertal development are chronic diseases including sickle cell anemia, which is a public health problem. Objectives: Describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adolescents with sickle cell disease. Report the prevalence of abnormalities of pubertal development. Identify associated factors that delay pubertal development. Patients and Methods: This was a multicenter analytical cross-sectional study over 7 months at the National Reference Center for Sickle Cell Disease and, at the Brazzaville University Hospital. It concerned adolescents with sickle cell disease aged between 10 to 19 years. The study focused on the sociodemographic characteristics of adolescents, the natural history of sickle cell anemia and the evaluation of secondary sexual characteristics using the Tanner classification. Nutritional status was assessed by calculating body mass index (BMI) and height/age and weight/age ratios. Results: Of the 347 adolescents included, the average age of the adolescents was 15.1 ± 2.5 years, 56.5% had normal puberty, 42.6% had delayed puberty and 0.9% had impuberty. The associated factors were under-nutrition with less than 3 meals/day (p = 0.0000), social status with more marked pubertal delay in orphans (p = 0.00127), more than 5 hospitalizations per year (p = 0.0013), pubertal delay was statistically significant in adolescents who had more than 3 vaso-occlusive crises (p = 0.0000), and those who had more than 5 blood How to cite this paper: Mbamognoua,
