Article: [Pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery: apropos of 1 case].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pseudoaneurism of the uterine artery is uncommon and is usually associated with pregnancy or surgical trauma. Diagnosis is based on both Doppler sonography and arteriography. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery associated with a leiomyoma without prior surgery or pregnancy. Treatment, which consisted on laparotomy, allowed avoiding rupture and confirmed diagnosis.Journal de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Biologie de la Reproduction 11/2000; 29(6):621-4. · 0.42 Impact Factor -
Article: [Simultaneous intra- and extra-uterine pregnancies. Apropos of 6 cases].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Six cases of simultaneous intra- and extra-uterine pregnancies are described by the authors. The rate of 1/5000 deliveries is considerably higher than described in the literature. The association of the two conditions is seldom thought of and has never been diagnosed before the extra-uterine pregnancy has ruptured. The initial picture seems to be that of an intra-uterine pregnancy with a threatened abortion in 83% of the cases. Only 33% of the intra-uterine pregnancies reached term. The prognosis could be improved if the doctor were to think of the possibility more often.Journal de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Biologie de la Reproduction 02/1989; 18(2):181-4. · 0.42 Impact Factor -
Article: [Stress urinary incontinence in women. Epidemiologic inquiry. Apropos of 500 cases].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nearly 50% of women in Tunisia have urinary incontinence, and 30% of these are highly embarassed. This condition is under-estimated in Tunisia by doctors in as far as its functional effects are concerned because the country has other diseases which are more urgent and take priority. Stress incontinence causing invalidism is very frequent: 31.4%. The principal factors that lead to it are home delivery, multiparity, menopause and large babies. There are two frequent associated conditions: incontinence during pregnancy and cystocoele. A contribution is made by the clinical diagnosis, but if investigations stop there a definite diagnosis cannot be made and therefore there is a risk of failure of treatment. In fact the treatment should be according to the cause: it is medical when are purely urinary troubles and surgical or physiotherapeutic when there is true stress incontinence. The best treatment would be to prevent the condition by good obstetrics and this by better methods of delivering the babies.Journal de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Biologie de la Reproduction 02/1988; 17(4):453-60. · 0.42 Impact Factor -

Article: [Sheehan's syndrome followed by spontaneous pregnancy. Apropos of 2 cases].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are few reports of spontaneous pregnancies in patients with Sheehan's syndrome. We describe two cases which exhibited adrenal and thyroid insufficiency but not amenorrhea, return of the menstrual periods being at the expected time after delivery. Endocrinologic studies confirmed thyrotropin and corticotropin insufficiency. Clinical evidence of preserved gonadotropin secretion was supported by the response of LH and FSH to acute administration of synthetic LHRH and by the fact that thyroid and corticoid hormonal replacement resulted in a spontaneous pregnancy with successful outcome.Journal de Gynécologie Obstétrique et Biologie de la Reproduction 02/1986; 15(6):765-8. · 0.42 Impact Factor
