Abstract

Background: Macrocheilia is an inflammatory disfiguring condition responsible for the swelling of the lips. This multi-etiological entity represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Published data on macrocheilia is scarce, often limited to granulomatous cheilitis., Methods: We conducted a retrospective study, including all patients presenting with chronic macrocheilia (CM) for nineteen years. CM was defined as a persistent enlargement of one or both lips for at least eight weeks. Both descriptive and analytical analyses were performed., Results: Of the 47 patients identified, 20 (43%) had cutaneous leishmaniasis, 10 (21%) had Miescher's cheilitis, five (11%) had Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome, five (11%) had sarcoidosis, one (2%) had lepromatous leprosy, one (2%) had systemic amyloidosis, and one (2%) had Crohn's disease. In four cases, the CM was unlabeled. Ulcerations were significantly associated with leishmaniasis (P < 0.05). Histological study showed a granulomatous infiltrate in 72% of cases. Medical treatment was adapted to the etiology of CM. Surgery was performed in two cases. Improvement of CM secondary to leishmaniasis was seen in all cases. In patients with idiopathic orofacial granulomatosis, partial improvement was noted in four cases and a total improvement in one case. Recurrences were noted in three cases after complete regression., Conclusions: Macrocheilia is a rare and disfiguring condition that requires an etiological investigation, considering that it can reveal a serious underlying systemic disease. We identified several factors that could help recognize the cause of CM, including age, history of intermittent swelling, the extent of lip enlargement, the existence of ulceration, and systemic symptoms., (© 2021 the International Society of Dermatology.)

Abstract

Background: Family medicine was considered officially and legally in early 2019 in Tunisia. In order to help general practitioners to fit with the new profile of family doctors, the faculty of medicine of Tunis launched an MBA curriculum in 2018. Teaching evidence-based-medicine (EBM) principals was planned in a one-day training and was divided into a morning lecture-based session and an afternoon work team session., Aim: To assess the acceptability of this training by the participants and to highlight the consequences of this tutoring on the research skills of the trainees., Methods: This is a cross sectional, prospective and descriptive study including the trainees registered in the MBA curriculum. A web site was created and contained a pre-test. After the work team session, the participants were asked to fulfill a post test and a feed back form., Results: 20 trainees participated to the training day. 17 participants agreed to fulfil the pre-test, the post test and the feed back form. The mean and the median scores of the pre-test were estimated respectively to 11.19 and 14/20. The mean score and the median of the post-tests scores were estimated respectively to 12.69, and 14/20. No significant statistical difference was observed between the pre and post test scores (p=0.2). The majority of the trainees were totally satisfied with the training program. 13/17 participants estimated their needs' scale in EBM practice to 4/5., Conclusion: Our results highlighted the acceptability of EBM teaching in family medicine curriculum. The absence of significant difference pre test and post test scores can be explained by the fact that all participants obtained their doctorate and were able to perform a critical appraisal of medical articles.

Abstract

Introduction: Medical studies reform in Tunisia was conducted to upgrade general medicine, depreciated by the population and experienced by practitioners as a path of failure, thus elevated to the rank of family medicine (FM)., Aim: To determine the factors of attractiveness of the FM, the prospects and career aspirations of future family physicians., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey by an anonymous questionnaire distributed via an online questionnaire platform from February 11th to April 13th, 2018 that targeted students in the 2nd year of FM at the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis., Results: We included 68 students. The median age was 26 years. The sex ratio was 0.4. The initial reason for choosing FM was the short course leading up to doctoral degree in medicine in 81% of students. The main factors of attractiveness of the FM were the overall approach of the patient (59%), the richness and the variety of the discipline (57%) and the rich human contact (37%). The main training constraints were the imprecise status (85%), the absence of a college of FM (59%) and the insufficient training (50%). Forty-three students (63%) wanted to continue their career abroad. The main reasons for this exodus were the search for a better quality of life (98%), better working conditions (81%), better training and supervision (67%) and acceptable remuneration (41%). The main expectations of the students were personal and family development (69%), the possibility of exercising at best their job (66%) and acceptable remuneration (59%)., Conclusion: Family medicine must have a defined status, an adapted curriculum, an should be attractive financially and scientifically.

Abstract

Lipoblastoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor, occuring in less than three-year-old infants in 90% of the cases and in 40% of the cases in chidren aged less than one year. It can be present at birth. It is a benign tumor, with defined margins, that can be locally aggressive, without metastases. We report the case of retroperitoneal lipoblastomatosis, with a neonatal diagnosis made by ultrasonographic and CT features.

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a frequent issue in paediatrician's practice. Foreign bodies often pass the gastro-intestinal tract spontaneously but can sometimes generate complications (1% of the cases). The migration of ingested foreign bodies is rare, but their spontaneous extrusion through the skin is even rarer and was previously described only in the neck. We report an unusual case of a spontaneous extrusion of an ingested foreign body through the skin of the lower abdomen. Observation: A 2 year-old boy, presented with a 2cm inflammatory swelling of the hypogastric region. Laboratory analysis showed hyperleukocytosis (16 7770 /mm3) and high C reactive protein level at 12mg/L. Ultrasonography and computed tomography allowed us to diagnose a parietal foreign body extruding through the skin and to eliminate associated complication (perforation, vascular fistula…). The foreign body was extracted by a surgical incision. This observation is very rare but it is also uncommon because of the nature of the ingested foreign body which was a wooden piece. Its ingestion was explained by a paediatric mental disorder.

Abstract

The nasal location of sarcoidosis is rare. In this regard, we report three observations of sarcoidosis observed in three women with an average age of 53.6 years, revealed by annoying nasal manifestations. The presence of extra-nasal sites allowed us to suspect the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in all the patients.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is very devastating in developing countries and its thrombogenic potential is a disturbing new entity. We report an 18-year-old woman who presented with a first episode of deep vein thrombosis. Pulmonary, hepatic and splenic tuberculosis was diagnosed while looking for secondary causes. The patient was treated with rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol along with low-molecular-weight heparin and antivitamin K. Tuberculosis has several mechanisms that induce a hypercoagulable state and can lead to thromboembolic complications., (2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.)

Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare inherited disease that affects many organs and tissues, which explains the diversity of its clinical manifestations. This disease is often diagnosed at an early age when cutaneous angiofibromas, epilepsy and mental retardation are associated. The hepatic involvement in this phakomatosis is an uncommon location. In this context, we report the case of a tuberous sclerosis revealed in adulthood by abdominal pain and distension related to renal and hepatic angiomyolipomas associated with typical skin lesions.

Abstract

Orbital metastasis is uncommon and occurs in 2-3% of patients with cancer. It is rarely the initial manifestation of a systemic malignancy. It usually indicates extensive haematogenous dissemination of a primary cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. Breast, lungs and prostate cancers are the most common primary cancers leading to orbital metastasis. However, orbital tumour revealing a rectal adenocarcinoma is exceptional. We describe a case of orbital tumour in a 67-year-old man with no history of systemic cancer while presenting with ophthalmic symptoms. Investigations revealed rectal adenocarcinoma as the primary malignant tumour.

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that most commonly involves the lung and thoracic lymph nodes. However, any organ can be affected. Osseous sarcoidosis has been reported in 3-13% of the cases. The skeletal involvement on radiographs is usually seen late in the course of the disease and is rarely the initial manifestation. We report a case of sarcoidosis revealed by a lytic lesion of the phalanx.

Abstract

Although tuberculosis is endemic in Tunisia, only a few cases of intestinal disease have been reported. This entity is usually associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Any part of the gastrointestinal tract may be affected but usually with ileocaecal involvement. Diagnosis is extremely difficult because the clinical presentation is so variable. The disease frequently mimics other chronic inflammatory intra-abdominal diseases or even malignancy. We report a case of isolated colonic tuberculosis presenting as circumferential ulcerovegetative lesions in the caecal region.

Abstract

Hypokalaemic rhabdomyolysis represents a medical emergency requiring rapid diagnosis and appropriate aetiological treatment. Renal tubular acidosis is a common cause of hypokalemia which can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic disorders such as Sjogren's syndrome. It can remain asymptomatic or manifest with metabolic abnormalities including hypokalemia paralysis, hypocalcaemia and hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Rhabdomyolysis presenting with severe hypokalemia as the first manifestation of Sjogren's syndrome is rare. We report a case of a 59-year-old woman who presented to our department with severe weakness of all limbs. Laboratory examination demonstrated hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis caused by distal renal tubular acidosis. Investigations revealed Sjogren's syndrome as the underlying cause of the metabolic disorders.

Abstract

Osteomalacia is a relatively common condition, which is frequently underdiagnosed due to lack of clinical suspicion and non-specific symptoms. Osteomalacia can complicate tubulo-interstital nephritis. However, it occurs exceptionally as the first manifestation of Sjögren syndrome with renal involvement. It is a consequence of chronic metabolic acidosis and is associated with distal renal tubular acidosis. We report a 31-year-old woman hospitalised for a 1 year history of muscle weakness and joint and chest wall pains. Skeletal imagery showed Looser's zones in the left femoral neck. Investigations concluded to the diagnosis of primary Sjogren's syndrome.

Abstract

Skeletal tuberculosis accounts for 1-3% of patients with mycobacterial infection. Any bone can be a site for tuberculosis, but sternum involvement is quite rare. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman admitted because of chest pain and increased swelling over the anterior chest. She was immunocompetent and had no systemic features. She was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the sternum without active pulmonary disease. Conservative management with oral multidrug antituberculous therapy completely cured the patient.

Abstract

Haemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) is a clinical entity that combines non-specific clinical and biological features. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a bone marrow examination. HPS may be primary or secondary to a malignancy or to an infectious or autoimmune disease. Early aggressive survey of the aetiology and optimal treatment of the underlying disease improve the outcome of life-threatening HPS. Infection-associated HPS occurs predominantly in immunocompromised patients and is usually fatal. Leading trigger agents are viruses, especially the Epstein-Barr virus  and cytomegalovirus. Mycobacterial infections associated with HPS are rare but should be considered in those patients where there is associated fever of unknown origin. We present a case of disseminated tuberculosis-associated HPS.

Abstract

Background: Local data about prevalence of obesity in emerging countries are rather scarce. Risk factors for obesity, well known in most industrialized countries, are poorly understood in Tunisia., Aims: To assess prevalence of overweight and obesity and to investigate associations with possible risk factors in a group of 6-12 year- old schoolchildren in Tunis, Tunisia., Methods: A descriptive transversal study including a sample of 1335 schoolchildren (6-12 years; mean: 9.7 ± 1.5 years) was conducted in Tunis. Personal and parental data were collected by questionnaires completed by parents. Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated. Prevalence of overweight and obesity was defined based on international agreed cut-off points., Results: Prevalence of overweight and obesity was 19.7% and 5.7%, respectively. Risk factors associated with overweight were: high degree- educated mother and father: 17.3% vs 11.7% (p=.01) (OR (95%CI): 1.58; 1.09-2.29) and 26% vs 17.4% (p=.002) (OR: 1.66; 1.21-2.29), respectively; mother, father high in occupational hierarchy: 7.2% vs 3.6% (p=0.009) (OR: 2.1; 1.2-3.7) and 14% vs 9% (p=.014) (OR: 1.6; 1.1-2.48), respectively. Overweight children had a significantly higher consumption of bread (p=.044), of snack intake (p=0.046) and of soft drink consumption (p=.035)., Conclusions: Prevalence of overweight and obesity in this cohort are 19.7% and 5.7%, respectively. Substantial differences in food choices in families with the highest socio-economic status are among risk factors contributing to obesity development.

Abstract

Aim: To assess aetiological factors and complications in a patient with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and internal jugular vein thrombosis., Case: A 27-year-old non pregnant woman with bilateral ovarian masses who had underwent laparotomy for suspicion of malignant tumor. The pathological examination disclosed malignancy and the diagnosis of OHSS were confirmed. The postoperative evolution was complicated by internal jugular, subclavian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. All biological parameters were negative. The evolution was good., Conclusion: The incidence of thromboembolism in women with OHSS is low and the typical finding is deep venous thrombosis in the neck area. Preventive measure of OHSS is very important, and the patients must be treated timely and correctly once OHSS occurs.
