We report four cases of uterine fistula found with the multidetector CT virtual hysterosalpingography. Patients were received for suspicious of a utero-peritoneal fistula at hysterosalpingography. They were young people at childbearing age (average age of 33 years), multigravidae, two of whom were nulliparous, one primiparous and one multiparous. We noted a history of voluntary interruption of pregnancy by curettage and a cesarean section. For the opacification, we used the classic hysterography standard equipment by means of 1/5 diluted iodine with saline solution as contrast. The multidetector CT virtual hysterosalpingography revealed small uterine perforations including three which were located in uterine posterior face at cervico-isthmic area and corporeal area, bringing about a utero-peritoneal fistula. The multidetector CT virtual hysterosalpingography is a simple and powerful technique for the diagnosis of utero-peritoneal fistula. It is convenient and then deserves an important place in the evaluation of uterine fistula.

Pubalgia is a generic term used to describe groin pain due to a multitude of different etiologies such as skeletal (microtraumatic pubic symphysis arthropathy), muscular (adductor or rectus abdominis disorders), or abdominal wall (inguinal hernia) disorders. Diagnosis relies mainly on MRI for musculoskeletal disorders and ultrasound for abdominal wall disorders.

Pre-eclampsia and chronic Hypertension made resp. 50,4% and 22%.High blood pressure in pregnancy is characterized by an later occur, by housewives with predominance of stage 1 and 3. Prenatal care is characterized by difficulties in realizing investigations and consultations in quantitative insuffisant prenatal consultations.

Diabetic foot is a major complication of diabetes due to its frequency and its high risk of evolution to amputation. We report 105 cases recruited at the diabetes centre Marc Sankale.It's a prospective study including all diabetic patients who attended the diabetes centre for any foot lesion during a one year period. Besides clinical examination data, results of glycaemia, foot X-ray Doppler and bacteriological analysis of the pus were collected.foot lesion represented 2.8% of diabetologist causes of consultation. Mean age of occurrence was 55 +/- 14 years in 63% women and 37% men. Diabetes was type 2 in 90% cases, poorly controlled in 63.92 % cases. Foot lesion was dominated by infection (97%), isolated or associated to peripheral vascular disease (32.4%) or neuropathy (13.3%). 67 patients had medical treatment and healed their wounds in 3 months in 76% cases. 38 other cases needed surgery : major amputation (15%), minor amputation (13%) debridment (9%) and revascularization (1%).Diabetic foot is a frequent reason for consultation at the National diabetes centre. Despite all the improvements made after the implementation of the patient's educational program, treatment starts late because of economical and cultural reasons that increase morbidity.

Our intentions were to determine the incidence of the association of anemia and pregnancy, to evaluate maternal and fetal prognosis and to offer some recommendations regarding national health care policies. This prospective study lasting 30 months included all cases of anemia and pregnancy detected by clinical and laboratory examinations. Thus 13,191 women were enrolled in the study but only 1408 cases of anemia and pregnancy (10.67%). Primipara and grand multipara were particularly at risk. Severe forms of anemia and pregnancy were encountered often (51.71%). Maternal and fetal prognoses were very poor. Maternal mortality was 852/100,000, accounting for 65% of the maternal mortality of the department. The stillborn rate was 50 per thousand. This is a serious health problem which needs to be dealt with by a national health education programme.

The cancer of the cervix is a tumor that can be detected at an early stage. Unfortunately, it is still detected lately in our service. Thus, it is the underlying cause of death by gynecological affection. After a preliminary work in 1982 about 35 case histories, the authors undertake a 10 years retrospective study where they showed that: the cancer of the cervix is the primary gynecological cancer (78.7%), it obtains between 25 and 65 years, the most often associated factors are early sex, (28%), poor living conditions (22%), cercivitise (17%), metrorrhagias (24%) and leucorrhoea are the most frequent signs. buding lesions are the dominant macroscopic form (68%) epidermoid carcinoma is the most important histological type, 98.7% cancer cases are detected at advanced stages (T3 and T4), the prognosis is dramatic: most patients die at home. This is a great public health issue the solution of which implies the collective action of decision-markers, health personnel and the communities themselves in order to promote early detection.
