Diabetic patients with urinary tract infections had a certain risk of developping emphysematous pyelonephritis with gas producting bacteria. This disease was accompagned with high mortalité. We will report one case who was treated successfully by high dose antibiotic regim and emergency nephrectomy.
The cerebral thrombophlebitis is a rare complication of the pregnancy and the postpartum. We report a case of a 21 year-woman presenting a post-partum cerebral thrombophlebitis, secondary to an acquired deficiency of antithrombin III. The clinical symptoms of cerebral thrombophlebitis can be misleading. The angiography and the magnetic resonance imaging permit the diagnosis. The treatment is relied on anticoagulating heparin therapy. This treatment will be adapted in case of coagulation's factors deficiency that must be searched in any thromboembolic accident having an unusual localization.
AT III is a physiologic inhibitor of blood clot formation: its deficiency is manifested by venous thrombosis. The authors reported case of mesenteric venous infarction in a 42-years-old woman. AT III deficiency was transient and caused by an oral contraceptive. In patients with AT III acquired deficiency it is necessary to suppress any risk factors of venous thrombosis.
