RESUMO
The metabolic syndrome is frequent and corresponds to the association in the same patient of different metabolic and hemodynamic factors that increase the risk for diabetes and for cardiovascular diseases. It is essential to screen out these patients who have a high cardiovascular risk so that prevention management can be targeted. These efforts are essentially based on promoting physical activity and on following a balanced diet

Adrenal carcinomas are rare and the incidence of their extension to the inferior vena cava is between 15 to 20% of the cases. We report an adrenal carcinoma with a thrombosis to the inferior vena cava and we review the management of these cases which is essentially surgical and adapted to the extension of the thrombosis

Two cases of oculomotor paralysis in diabetic patients are reported. These two cases emphasize the importance of ocular motility examination in diabetic patients and the need in the etiologic investigation for oculomotor paralysis in diabetic patient to exclude a neuro-surgical emergency [tumor or anevrysmal compression]. This study shows also the importance of glycemic control and of vascular risk factor management in the treatment and prevention of diabetic oculomotor paralysis
