Introduction: Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder characterized by the partial or total absence of an X chromosome. It is the most frequent sex chromosome abnormality in females (1). Patients with TS are susceptible to a variety of metabolic abnormalities. Puberty is a sensitive phase of both physical and hormonal development, and its timing can impact the development of metabolic syndrome. This study aims to clarify the impact of the onset of puberty o...

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is frequently accompanied by other autoimmune diseases that can sometimes be integrated into autoimmune polyendocrinopathies. Through this work, we sought to describe the association of autoimmune diseases with type 1 diabetes in children.Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study, including 354 type 1 diabetic patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology...

Introduction: Children’s type 1 diabetes is a rare entity, its prevalence is still poorly known, which makes its diagnosis, therapeutic management and prognosis increasingly difficult and uncodified. The purpose of our study is to report the experience of the Endocrinology - Diabetology and Nutrition Department in the management of diabetes in children.Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive study including 1...

Introduction: We refer to precocious puberty when signs of puberty appear early: before the age of 8 in females and before the age of 9.5 in males. The objective of our study is to evaluate the interest of the LHRH test in the exploration of early puberty.Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study including 19 cases who presented with signs of precocious puberty. A clinical and hormonal evaluation was perfo...

Introduction: Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is widely recognized as a cause of short stature and poor growth and is arbitrarily defined as a height < -2 SDS without an identified etiology. It is commonly known, through several studies, that malnutrition is considered to be one of the main factors responsible for growth disorders in children and adolescents. We aim ed to evaluate growth outcome by reviewing nutritional influences in patients followed up for...

Introduction: Autoimmune thyroid disease and type 1 diabetes (T1DM) often cooccur, particularly among children. This study aim ed to explore the relationship between type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroiditis, examining influencing factors such as gender, age, and duration of diabetes. Additionally, we assessed the glycemic control of all patients involved in the study.Keywords: diabetes- children- auto immune thyroid di...

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are autoimmune disorders that frequently coexist in pediatric patients, presenting a unique challenge in clinical management due to their overlapping nutritional deficiencies and potential for endocrine dysfunction. This study describes the clinical characteristics, the nutritional deficiencies and endocrine dysfunctions commonly observed in pediatric patients diagnosed with both CD and T1DM...

Introduction: Turner syndrome is the most common sex chromosomal abnormality in females, manifested by growth failure and impuberty, that may be associated to visceral and autoimmune disorders which can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. The aimof this study is to identify the malformative and autoimmune profiles in patients with turner syndrome.Patients and Methods: This is a descriptive study conducted by th...

Introduction: Turner syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal anomalies occurring in approximately 1 in 1500 live-births females (1), resulting from the partial or complete absence of X-chromosome. It is associated to several skeletal abnormalities including short stature, delayed skeletal maturation, angular deformities of the limbs, spinal deformity, and early-onset osteoporosis. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of these skel...
