RESUMO
Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome, historically named idiopathic carotidynia or Fay syndrome, is a rare condition characterized by inflammation and pain in the carotid artery. The diagnosis requires a specific clinical-radiological presentation. We describe a 37-year-old female who presented with headaches and left neck pain and was diagnosed with TIPIC syndrome with temporary perivascular infiltration.
RESUMO
A pregnant woman presented with an asthma attack with a poor clinical evolution, requiring intubation. Medications traditionally used for the treatment of asthma in non-pregnant patients (short-acting beta-2 agonists, short-acting muscarinic antagonists, systemic corticosteroids) are considered safe during pregnancy, except for epinephrine. A systematic obstetrical evaluation is a key component in the evaluation and management of an asthmatic crisis during pregnancy. The use of peak-flow spirometers and arterial blood gas can help to recognize the degree of severity of an acute asthma attack.

In elderly or chronically ill patients, nutritional deficiencies are common and the presence of related skin lesions is not unusual. Recognition of such cutaneous involvement is important regarding the diagnosis essentially based on clinical elements. By using some clinical case reports, we will describe several pathologies related to nutritional deficiencies like scurvy, pellagra and acquired acrodermatitis enteropathica.
Dans nos populations de patients vieillissants ou atteints de maladies chroniques, les carences nutritionnelles sont fréquentes et la présence de manifestations dermatologiques associées n'est pas rare. La reconnaissance de telles atteintes cutanées est importante pour le diagnostic qui est essentiellement clinique. A l'aide de vignettes cliniques, nous allons discuter ici de pathologies carentielles comme le scorbut, la pellagre ainsi que l'acrodermatite entéropathique acquise.
