Purpose: Report radiographic aspects and assess the contribution of computed tomography for the diagnosis and search for extension of bronchial carcinoid tumors. Material and methods: This retrospective study included 9 patients with a bronchial carcinoid tumor during a four years period. In all patients, the exploration included standard chest radiography, computed tomography (CT) and abdominal ultrasonography. Results: This series included three females and six males, mean age 25 years (age range 20-52 years). The average time between clinical symptoms and diagnosis was 24 months. The important signs were chest pain, dry cough and dyspnea in 7 cases, hemoptysis in 4 cases. Chest radiography has objectified a rounded opacity speculated in 4 cases, opacity systematized in 3 cases and an opaque lung in 2 cases. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an endobronchial process with a endobronchial budding in 5 cases, pneumonia systematized in 4 cases, collapse in 7 cases, a localized dilatation of bronchus in 2 cases, lymph node metastases in 4 cases. Bronchoscopy has the macroscopic diagnosis in all cases. All patients have surgical treatment, the lobectomy in 4 cases, pneumonectomy in 3 cases and bilobectomy in 2 cases. Conclusion: CT is indispensable for positive diagnosis, and topographic localization of extension of bronchial carcinoid tumors. The main contribution of CT compared with fibroscopy is to demonstrate exobronchial tumor development and upstream pulmonary complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate adverse events related to the administration of Covishield vaccine from the AstraZeneca laboratory in volunteers vaccinated at the Dermatology Hospital of Bamako., Methodology: This was a Phase IV clinical trial involving volunteers vaccinated at the Dermatology Hospital of Bamako from April to June 2021. Scientific and ethical aspects were reviewed and addressed. The proposal for this study was approved by the scientific committee of the Hôpital de Dermatologie de Bamako., Results: A total of 1099 volunteers were included in the study. The median age of participants was 48 years (18-93 years) with a sex ratio of 1.81 (708/391). In all 90.2% of the 1219 adverse events were injection-site pain. Other adverse events were headache, tiredness, and muscle pain, with 3.2% (39/1219), 2.4% (29/1219) and 1.8% (22/1219) respectively. Only one case of diarrhea was reported, 0.08% (1/1219)., Conclusion: Adverse events to this vaccine were mostly moderate and temporary but vary according to the population vaccinated individuals., (Le comité de rédaction se réserve le droit de renvoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

Introduction: Aseptic osteonecrosis of the femoral head is the partial or total destruction of the femoral head due to impaired blood flow. It affects young adults (30-60 years), predominantly male (3 male:1 female) and is often bilateral. The aim of the present work is to define the role of MRI in the diagnosis, classification and therapeutic management of osteonecrosis of the femoral head., Materials and Methods: This study focused on three observations of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in the 20 Aout Radiology Department of the Ibn Rochd of Casablanca University Hospital with a review of the literature. All patients underwent MRI of both hips with sagittal sequences, coronal T1, T2 and T2 SE DP Fat Sat., Results: The ages of our patients were 62 years for case 1 (male); 37 years for case 2 (female) and 58 years for case 3 (male). The MRI in all 3 patients objectified: subchondral bone fragment on the outer compartment of the femoral head bilaterally with minimal bilateral effusion in the first patient. In the other two patients, we note the presence of subcortical signal abnormalities of the femoral heads with demarcation piping T1 hypointense, T2 hyperintense and associated subchondral fractures. A minimal effusion was also observed., Conclusion: Medical imaging is an essential element of the radiological diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. MRI finds its best indication in the precocious and differential diagnosis, as well as the classification of osteonecrosis of the femoral head., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

The CS child, aged 9, is evacuated from a health center located 200km away from Ouagadougou (capital of BF) for decompensated heart failure. Clinically we noted a syndrome of congestive heart failure. No obvious cause has been found outside of the advancing age of parents (50 years) and the potential risks of rubella infection. A Doppler echocardiography revealed a fistula aorto-pulmonary 17mm wide associated with a pericardial effusion of average circumferential abundance and a dilation of the left ventricular. Pulmonary radiography showed a large cardiomegaly and left pleurisy. The discovery of congenital heart disease between 2 and 4 years is very rare but the prognosis is good with surgical treatment., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.

CA, 14 old years, female, born last uterine siblings of 9 children, 4 died of various causes, was admitted in the pediatric service of CHU-YO for functional impairment of the lower limbs. Physical examination revealed swelling and deformation harsh, uneven surfaces, the circumferential upper and lower limbs and lumbar spine associated with spastic paraplegia. Sphincter disturbances accompany this clinical picture. The radiographic bone marrow hypertrophy individually with images of exostosis at the epiphyses. Multiple exostosis or BESSEF Hogen's disease is rare and has a reserve functional prognosis because of outcome of low spinal cord compression and vascular compression. We felt it appropriate to bring this case discovered during our clinical practice because of its rarity and the risk of malignant degeneration., (Le comitée de rédaction se réserve le droit de revoyer aux auteurs avant toute soumission à l'avis des lecteurs les manuscrits qui ne seraient pas conformes à ces modalités de présentation.
