Juvenile idiopathic chronic calcifying pancreatitis: report of 10 cases from central Tunisia.

A series of 10 cases of chronic calcifying pancreatitis from central Tunisia are reported. The mean age at presentation was 23 years and the male to female ratio was 1.5. The main clinical manifestations of the disease were abdominal pain (eight cases), weight loss (four cases), and diarrhea (three cases). Diabetes was recorded in four cases. The etiological investigations yielded negative results in all the patients. It is concluded that central Tunisia should be added to the regions where juvenile chronic calcifying pancreatitis of the "tropical type" may be observed.

[Sheehan's syndrome followed by spontaneous pregnancy. Apropos of 2 cases].

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.
