Introduction : Les schwannomes sont des tumeurs bénignes neurogènes localisées dans la région sacrée dans 1 à 5 % des cas. Les auteurs rapportent un cas de neurinome présacré. Observation : Une patiente de 55 ans a consulté pour des douleurs pelviennes évoluant depuis un an sans signes de compression digestive ou urinaire. Les touchers pelviens avaient objectivé une masse rétrorectale avec une muqueuse rectale saine. L'imagerie avait évoqué le diagnostic de neurinome. L'exploration chirurgicale avait permis d'objectiver une masse tissulaire rétrosacrée qui a bénéficié d'une exérèse en monobloc. L'histologie a conclu à un neurinome bénin. Discussion : Les schwannomes présacrés géants sont des tumeurs rares. Du fait de leur symptomatologie pauvre, leur diagnostic est souvent retardé. L'imagerie, TDM mais surtout IRM, est intéressante dans le diagnostic des neurinomes ainsi que leurs rapports avec les organes de voisinage ; elle permet de déceler également des signes d'agressivité de la tumeur mais ne peut affirmer de façon formelle la nature bénigne ou maligne de la tumeur. Le traitement repose sur l'exérèse ou l'énucléation de la tumeur. Le pronostic est bon, mais entaché par la survenue de récidives. Conclusion : Devant des douleurs pelviennes, le diagnostic de neurinome présacré est rarement posé. L'imagerie (IRM) permet le diagnostic et guide la stratégie thérapeutique. Mots clés Schwannome présacré · TDM-IRM-traitementAbstract Introduction: Presacral schwannomas are rare benign tumors, representing 1% to 5% of all schwannomas. We report a case diagnosed by imaging modalities (CT-MRI) and treated by complete surgical resection. Case report: A 55-year-old female has had a history of abdominal pain since one year without compressive signs. A pelvic retrorectal mass has been discovered clinically. CT and MRI were very suggestive of a presacral schwannoma. Histological examination after complete surgical removal of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of a benign schwannoma. Discussion: Giant presacral schwannomas are rare pelvic tumors. Often asymptomatic, they are diagnosed lately. CT and MRI are very useful in assessing the diagnosis and evaluating the extent of the tumor. Surgery is the therapeutic modality of first choice. Prognosis is good if the tumor is benign but recurrence is frequent. Conclusion: Presacral schwannoma can cause pelvic pain. Imaging modalities (MRI++) often guide surgical resection.
Colonic lipomas are rare benign tumors infrequently met in clinical practice. Most of them are asymptomatic making frequent their fortuitous discovery. The therapeutic approach to the fortuitous discovery of a lipoma is even less clear. The treatment depends essentially on the clinical picture, on the size of the lipoma and on its location. We report the case of a 31-year old woman, which sub-occlusive accidents events revealed a lipoma of the descending colon. The diagnosis was suspected on colonoscopy and segmental colectomy was performed. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. We review the literature and discuss the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon disease.
Le syndrome de Bouveret est une obstruction pyloroduodénale par un calcul biliaire ayant migré à travers une fistule cholécystoduodénale. Nous rapportons le cas d'un patient de 59 ans présentant des épigastralgies et des vomissements. L'échographie abdominale et le transit oesogastroduodénal ont objectivé un énorme estomac de stase en amont d'une sténose très serrée postbulbaire. La laparotomie a retrouvé un gros calcul dans le duodénum avec fistule cholécystoduodénale. Il a bénéficié d'une chirurgie en un temps. Les suites postopératoires étaient simples. Mots clés Calcul biliaire · Fistule cholécystoduodénale · ChirurgieAbstract Bouveret's syndrome is a pyloroduodenal obstruction by a gallstone migrated through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. We report the case of a patient of 59 years with epygastralgia and vomiting. The abdominal ultrasound and esogastroduodenal transit disclosed a huge gastric stasis upstream from a very tight postbulbar stenosis. Laparotomy found a large gallastone in the duodenum with cholecystoduodenal fistula.
Duodenal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity. The authors report and emphasize the lack of special clinical, radiological and endoscopic signs of duodenal tuberculosis. The diagnosis is affirmed, at laparotomy, out of the findings of peritoneal granulations or histology of lymphatic nodes. We report our experience of two cases of duodenal tuberculosis presenting with proximal intestinal obstruction and review the available literature.
