Post-menopausal endometrial tuberculosis mimicking carcinoma: an important differential diagnosis to consider

We report the case of a menopausal 74-year-old patient who presents pyorrhoea for 6 months. We suspect initially a carcinoma process, but the anatomopathological examination takings obtained by biopsy curettage of the endometrial under hysteroscopy is in favor of an inflammatory infiltrate with epithelioid and giant cells of type Langhans and type Muller without caseous necrosis. The bacteriological direct examination after coloring of Gram, Ziehl-Neelsen and Sabouraud was negative. The bacteriological culture in the L"ewenstein and Coletsos environment identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The searches for another source of the infection was negative both at the pulmonary and urinary levels. An antituberculous quadritherapy allows the fast clinical improvement. The tuberculosis remains frequent but rarely genital. It is especially the case of young women, from non industrialized countries, consulting for infertility. It is necessary to know how to evoke it front in pelvic symptoms, whatever the age is and to realize easily mycobacteriological examinations

Sheehan's syndrome A case report and literature review

In this case report of Sheehan's syndrome in the post-partum period, the signs were characterized by agalactia, severe hypoglycemia, and low serum levels of thyroid hormones, cortico-adrenal hormones, and gonadotrophin [FSH, LH].

Recurrence of uterine rupture in a pseudo-unicornuate uterus at 17 weeks of amenorrhea: case report and literature review

Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is a very rare condition. It is responsible for several complications. Prognosis is reserved because the natural evolution generally leads to a cataclysmic uterine rupture at the beginning of the second trimester. Classically, the treatment after foetal extraction consists of ablation of the rudimentary horn and associated fallopian tube. We report the obstetric outcome of a patient with history of rudimentary uterine horn rupture, the treatment of which was ablation of the rudimentary horn

Uterine inversion; a case report

The puerperal uterine inversion is a rare and severe complication occurring in the third stage of labour. The mechanisms are not completely known. However, extrinsic factors such as oxytocic arrests after a prolonged labour, umbilical cord traction or abdominal expression are pointed. Other intrinsic factors such as primiparity, uterine hypotonia, various placental localizations, fundic myoma or short umbilical cord were also reported. The diagnosis of the uterine inversion is mainly supported by clinical symptoms. It is based on three elements: haemorrhage, shock and a strong pelvic pain. The immediate treatment of the uterine inversion is required. It is based on a medical reanimation associated with firstly a manual reduction then surgical treatment using various techniques. We report an observation of a 25 years old grand multiparous patient with a subacute uterine inversion after delivery at home
