[Fetal pathology aspects of 97 cases of anencephaly. CMNR Tunisian study]. / Aspects foetopathologiques de 97 cas d'anencephalie: etude du CMNR Tunis.

So, the epidemiologic study done for 8 years at CMNR Tunis has shown that the incidence is 1.15@1000 births (between 0.52 and 1.66@1000 per year). This anomaly is more frequent in female sex (sex linked = 0.59). The antenatal echographic diagnosis is efficient in 90.5%. This anomaly is more shown at low socio-economic group. The improvement of the socio-economic level and specially the daily uptake of acid folic in periconceptionnel time decrease the frequency of this congenital malformation.

[Acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Three case reports]. / La stéatose hépatique aiguë gravidique. A propos de 3 cas.

The acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a specific disease of pregnancy. Its incidence is rare but prognosis is poor in complicated entities, and can compromise the foetal and maternal life. An early diagnosis of the illness and a multidisciplinary management based on uterine evacuation and an intensive medical care can improve the prognosis of the acute fatty liver of pregnancy (A.F.L.P). In hope to contribute at a better approach of this affection, the authors report their experience about 3 cases of A.F.L.P., collected in 1997.
