[Macrophage activation syndrome revealing disseminated mycobacterium tuberculosis].

Etant donné que son involution est très rare ainsi son évolution vers la calcification est exceptionnelle, le kyste hydatique cérébral calcifié pose un problème de diagnostic différentiel avec des pathologies tumorales plus courantes [6]. Devant un contexte évocateur, l’apport de l’imagerie par résonance magnétique serait sûrement un plus dans cet approche et seule l’étude histopathologique peu...

Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia Associated with Ogilvie Syndrome

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is one type of acute mesenteric ischemia. Colonic pseudoobstruction, known as Ogilvie syndrome, is a disorder defined by colonic distension in the absence of mechanical obstruction. A relationship between these diseases has not yet been reported, based on a review of the literature. We report a patient with NOMI secondary to Ogilvie syndrome. An 82-year-o...
