ABSTRACT

Introduction: Mirizzi syndrome is an obstructive jaundice caused by extrinsic compression of the common bile duct by a stone embedded in the cystic duct [1].Cholangitis is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency whose main risk is that of septic shock [1]. It can also progress to "Ictero-Uremigenic Angiocholitis" associated with sometimes extremely serious renal failure [2]. Case presentation: We reported the case of a 73-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room with septic shock on severe cholangitis. Given the presence of acute febrile cholangitis with criteria of septic shock on the one hand and acute renal failure on the other hand, the diagnosis of ictero-uremigenic Angiocholitis was made. Discussion: Angiocholitis is an inflammation and infection of the bile ducts, the etiologies of which are diverse, among them: Mirizzi's syndrome [1].The anatomical basis of Mirizzi syndrome has generally been attributed to an abnormal relationship between the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct [3]. Angiocholitis constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, its complications threaten the vital prognosis [4]. Ictero-uremigenic Angiocholitis where the septic component dominates represents a real picture of sepsis, cholestatic jaundice, oliguria with renal failure [2]. Conclusion: fortunately rare, but always to be feared, the ictero-uremigenic Angiocholitis produces a typical picture of Angiocholitis, accompanied by a serious septic shock which passes largely to the fore associating in a very short period of time an organic renal insufficiency [2], the Age over 70 is a serious factor, it constitutes a therapeutic emergency requiring desobstruction of the main bile duct and possibly recourse to hemodialysis [4].

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Since December 2019, the coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread worldwide and has caused millions of deaths. Although the main manifestation of the disease is acute respiratory distress syndrome, hypercoagulability resulting from hypoxemia leads to venous thromboembolism and arterial thrombosis, which have a fatal prognosis for COVID-19. CASE REPORT MANAGEMENT: We report the case of patient admitted to our unit for management of a concomitant limb ischemia, splenic and renal infarcts associated to a COVID-19 infection with favorable outcomes after thrombectomy and therapeutic doses of heparin. CONCLUSION: Systemic procoagulant manifestations related to a COVID-19 infection is a newly described phenomenon responsible of cardiovascular and neurological disorders.
