[Internal iliac artery aneurysms in behcet's disease, two cases report]

Behcet's disease is a vasculitis more frequent in Japan, in the Middle East and in some Mediterranean countries. It is characterized by a classical triad of recurrent uveitis, oral and genital ulcerations. It is a systemic vasculitis affecting predominantly the venous system. Arterial manifestations in Behcet's disease are less common especially aneurysms who may in some cases quickly involve the vital prognosis. We report two cases of Behcet's disease with arterial internal iliac aneurysms complicated in the two patients by a rupture

Particular etiology of a child's painful hip: the subacute osteomyelitis

The subacute osteomyelitis of the hip is rare and remains a difficult diagnostic. We report a case of right pain hip in a 9-year-old girl, associated with a slight fever, rebel to the antibiotic treatment. Biology showed moderated raised inflammatory markers. The plain radiographs of the pelvic showed a little bone demineralization of the acetabular roof. The ultrasonography of the right hip was normal. The pelvic magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] showed a medullary edema in the acetabular roof. The bone scintigraphy showed an intense uptake on the right acetabulum. The computed tomography [CT] of the hip revealed the presence in the right acetabular roof of two bone defects enclosing bony sequestra thus evoking the diagnosis of subacute osteomyelitis. The evolution was favourable under antibiotic treatment managed by the intravenous way during 15 days [Bristopen, Gentamycin] then relayed by the oral way for one month
