Background: PEA is a rare disease characterised by the coexistence of two endocrine autoimmune deficiencies, sometimes with a non-endocrine autoimmune disease associated concomittente of occurrence or metachronous way. Depending on the age of onset of the disease and the characteristics observed, we can distinguish several subgroups.Objective and hypotheses: Search frequency of PEA in children and adolescents and study their phenotype.<p class="abste...

Background: Child Obesity is a major health problem. It is mainly due to a high diet and low physical activity. In some cases, they may be due to genetic causes. It must be detected and treated precociously due to an increased risk of early onset of diseases, including diabetes and heart disease.Objective and hypotheses: Search the frequency, clinical and etiological characteristics of obesity in children and adolescents.Method: Th...

Background: Small gestational age (SGA) is defined by a small size and/or a birth weight <−2 DS/standards for the term of pregnancy. Most of these children catch up to their size in the first 2 years of life. Only 10% of them will stay with a size of <−2 DS. These children may benefit from treatment with GH, which improves their stature prognosis.Objective and hypotheses: Study the final height of children with IUGR have reached adult...

Background: The hypothyroidism is defined by an elevated TSH with normal fT4 and the absence of symptoms of hormonal deficiency. In children and adolescents, it is mainly due to chronic thyroiditis or radiotherapy for cervical cancer.Objective and hypotheses: Assess clinical, etiological and evolutionary characteristics of subclinical hypothyroidism in children and adolescents.Method: This is a retrospective and prospect...

Background: Ovarian tumors are rare in the pediatric age and are represented primarily by functional cysts and benign tumors, the most common is the mature teratoma.Objective and hypotheses: Assess clinical, radiological, etiological and scalable characteristics of ovarian tumors in the pediatric age.Method: Retrospective study of seven cases of ovarian tumors collected over a period of 20 years. All children received complete clin...

Background: Adrenal insufficiency in children is rare and potentially serious because of the risk of acute adrenal insufficiency. This complication is lethal in the absence of prompt and appropriate treatment. Aetiologies are dominated by the genetic causes.Objective and hypotheses: Report diagnostic circumstances,phenotypic forms and causes of adrenal insufficiency in children and adolescents.Method: This is a retrospective study ...

Background: Recent studies using data from the International Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Registry (www.i-cah.org) (1), have provided valuable insight into the determinants of reported acute adrenal insufficiency (AI) related adverse events, demonstrating that the I-CAH Registry can be used as a tool to create clinical benchmarks in CAH care.Methods: Care quality reports were created for 32 centres who participat...

Due to recent scientific progress in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), infertile couples can now become fertile. Thus, a number of infants in our country are the results of these costly interventions. This study has been undertaken to evaluate the physical growth of ART infants using standard growth charts from birth until 18 months of age.Methods: We measured the anthropometric data of 100 infants newborns conceived through ART intracytoplasmic sp...

Background: The ganglioneuroma (GN) is a benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system following the sympathogonies that affects children and young adults. This is a rare tumor (7/1 000 000) which can be located along the sympathetic chain from the neck to the pelvis. In 20% of cases, the GN is localized in the adrenal.Objective and hypotheses: Report observations of eight patients with GN.Observations: Eight patients (two boys an...

Background: Achondroplasia is the most common cause of genetic dwarfism with a prevalence of 1/10 000 to 30 000 birth. It is a pathology of dominant inheritance linked to the mutation of the receptor gene growth factor on chromosome 4p16 fibroblastes FGFR3 responsable rhizomelic dwarfism and multiple complications likely to compromise the functional and vital prognosis of patients.Objective and hypotheses: Find the frequency of neurological complications...
