RESUMO

Introduction : Il n'y a aucune donnée publiée sur les mouvements anormaux (MA) au Bénin. Objectif : Etudier la fréquence, les caractéristiques cliniques et évolutifs des MA au CHUD-B/A au nord-Bénin en 2020. Matériel et méthodes : Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale descriptive avec collecte de données sur 5 ans (1er juillet 2015 - 30 juin 2020) en neurologie au CHUD/B à Parakou au Nord-Bénin. Le diagnostic et la classification des MA a été fait par un neurologue selon les critères cliniques du Consensus Statement of International Parkinson and Movements Disorders Society (MDS), et les critères révisés de Jinnah 2014 pour la dystonie. Les autres mouvements hyperkinétiques sont retenus selon les critères de Reich 2010 et les critères de Allen 2003 pour le syndrome des jambes sans repos (SJSR). Résultats : 2250 patients ont été inclus. L'âge moyen des patients MA au diagnostic était de 52,57 ± 20,77ans [1-80ans]. L'âge moyen au début des symptômes était de 49,16 ± 20,85ans [1-80ans]. Le sex-ratio était de 2,58. La fréquence des MA dans le service était de 5,73% (129/2250) et 6,68% (117/1805) en consultation ambulatoire. Les MA identifiés étaient : tremblement (72,09%), akinésie-parkinsonisme (41,08%), dystonie (7,75%), chorée (6,2%), myoclonie (3,1%), dyskinésie (2,33%), ballisme (2,33%), athétose (0,78%), akathisie (0,78%) et le SJSR (0,78%). Le parkinsonisme représentait 2,36% (53cas). Les causes des MA étaient dégénératives (27,91%), idiopathiques (27,13%), vasculaires (13,95%), iatrogènes (11,63%). Le tremblement essentiel 57,14% (28cas) touchait surtout les sujets entre 25-60 ans et n'était pas associé à l'âge (p=0,795) ni aux antécédents familiaux (p=0,417). L'évolution des MA était marquée par leur amélioration partielle 33%, une rémission complète 10,85%, le décès 7,75%. Conclusion : Les MA sont fréquents en Neurologie au CHUD/B-A. Une prise en charge optimale est nécessaire pour améliorer la qualité de vie des patients.


Introduction: There are no published data on movement disorders in Benin. Objective: We aimed to study the descriptive epidemiology, the clinical spectrums and the evolution of MD in the university hospital center of Parakou (CHUD-B/A) in northern Benin in 2020. Material and methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with data collection over 5 years from 07/01/2015 to 06/30/2020 in the neurology department of CHUD-B/A. Diagnosis and classifications of MD was made by a neurologist according to clinical criteria of the Consensus Statement of International Parkinson and Movements Disorders Society (MDS), Jinnah 2014 revised criteria for dystonia, Reich 2010 for other hyperkinetic MD and Allen 2003 criteria for restless legs syndrome (RLS). Statistical analysis was made by Epidata Analysis software. Results: 2250 patients were included. The mean age of patients with MD at diagnosis was 52.57 ± 20.77years with extremes of 1 to 80 years. The mean age at onset of symptoms was 49.16 ± 20.85years [1-80years]. The sex ratio was 2.58. The frequency of MD in the department was 5.73% (129/2250) and 6.68% (117/1805) in outpatients. The MD identified were: tremor 72.09%, akinesia and parkinsonism 41.08%, dystonia 7.75%, chorea 6.2%, myoclonus 3.1%, dyskinesia 2.33%, ballism 2.33%, athetosis 0.78%, akathisia 0.78% and RLS 0.78%. Parkinsonism accounted for 2.36% (53cases). The causes of MD were degenerative (27.91%), idiopathic (27.13%), vascular (13.95%), iatrogenic (11.63%). Essential tremor (28cases) affected patients between 25-60years (57.14%). Evolution was marked by partial improvement (33%), complete remission (10.85%), and death (7.75%). Conclusion: MD are common at CHUD-B/A. Optimal management is necessary to improve the quality of life of patients.

RESUMO

RESUME: L'épilepsie est une affection neurologique chronique qui constitue de par sa prise en charge un problème de santé publique. L'objectif principal était d'étudier le suivi thérapeutique des personnes souffrant d'épilepsie (PSE) par le dosage plasmatique des médicaments anti épileptiques (MAE) au CNHU-HKM de Cotonou. Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale descriptive et analytique qui s'était déroulée au CNHU-HKM de Cotonou du 1er mars au 31 décembre 2013 et portant sur les PSE traitées par le phénobarbital, la carbamazépine ou l'acide valproïque en monothérapie ou en association et qui ont atteint l'état d'équilibre pharmaco-cinétique pour chaque médicament. 70 PSE étaient recrutés dont 36 de sexe masculin et 34 de sexe féminin. Le phénobarbital en monothérapie est le MAE le plus employé dans une proportion de 55,7%. La concentration thérapeutique était observée chez 30% des sujets pour le phénobarbital, 48% pour la carbamazépine et 45 % pour l'acide valproïque. 20% des PSE ont une mauvaise observance du traitement et les raisons évoquées étaient entre autres l'indisponibilité et les effets indésirables des médicaments. Ce travail a permis de connaître les caractéristiques thérapeutiques et biologiques des PSE étudiées et surtout de contrôler leur observance thérapeutique

RESUMO

L'épilepsie est une maladie neurologique chronique qui prédomine dans l'enfance et à l'âge adulte. Les objectifs étaient d'étudier la prévalence et les aspects cliniques de l'épilepsie de novo chez les adultes à la Clinique Universitaire de Neurologie (CUN) du Centre National Hospitalier et Universitaire Hubert K. Maga (CNHU-HKM) de Cotonou. Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective qui a porté sur des adultes âgés de 18 ans et plus, et ayant consulté à la CUN du CNHU-HKM de Cotonou pendant une période de 5 ans, du 1er janvier 2011 au 31 Décembre 2015. L'épilepsie de novo est toute épilepsie nouvellement diagnostiquée. La prévalence hospitalière de l'épilepsie de novo chez l'adulte à ladite clinique était de 67%, IC95% [60,5% - 73,5%]. Les crises tonico-cloniques généralisées étaient les plus fréquentes (72,8%). L'épilepsie de novo était fortement associée aux antécédents d'HTA (p=0,00) et d'AVC (p=0,010)

RESUMO

Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is the most frequent neurological complication among HIV patients, and its risk increases with use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). We aimed to assess the prevalence of DSP and the factors associated with it among HIV-infected outpatients treated at Parakou University Hospital. This cross-sectional study took place from April 15 to July 15, 2011, and included 262 patients. All patients underwent a neurological examination by two neurologists with training and clinical experience in these examinations and in the Brief Peripheral Neuropathy Screening (BPNS), which was the primary tool used here. Data from nutritional status (body mass index: BMI), social and demographic information, HAART status, and CD4 count were recorded. The factors associated with DSP were studied with multivariate analysis, using a logistic regression model and a significance level of 0.05. The study included 60 men (22.9 %). Patients' ages ranged from 16 to 74 years and averaged 36.8±10 years. All patients but one patient were infected by HIV type 1 only; that one was coinfected by types 1 and 2. The mean BMI was 22.5+/-4.2 kg/m2. In all, 213 (81.3 %) received HAART, and the mean CD4 count was 355.0 cells/mm3+/-236.1. The prevalence of DSP was 42.4 %. The factors associated with it on univariate analysis were age, marital status, HAART status, duration of HIV infection, and duration of HAART. Only advanced age (OR 1.8, 95 % CI 1.1-5.3) and HAART use (OR 2.3, 95 % CI 1.5-4.9) were associated with DSP in the multivariate analysis. The main symptoms were paresthesia (numbness:75.7%; burning: 39.6%; pins and needles sensation 32.4 %) and pain (23.4 %). Vibration perception at the toes was missing or reduced for 84.4 %. According to the sensory symptoms grade, 93.7 % of patients were classified in Grades 2 or 3. This study showed that the prevalence of DSP is high and that it is associated with age and HAART.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to determine the factors influencing quality of life for patients with post-stroke aphasia followed in Cotonou hospitals. METHOD: A prospective descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in CNHU-HKM (Cotonou, Benin) from October to December 2012; focusing on patients with at least six months of post-stroke aphasia. For each patient, a SIP-65 questionnaire was administered. The Epi Info 3.5 software was used for data analysis. A multivariate analysis was performed to determine factors associated with quality of life for patients with aphasia. RESULTS: In total, 41 patients were included in this study with a sex ratio of 1.3. The average age was 55.3 ± 2.5 years. The average duration of the aphasia was 10 months. Broca's aphasia was predominant (68.3%). 60.8% of aphasia patients were able to preserve their quality of life. Multivariate analysis showed that age, family support, the type of stroke and aphasia and speech therapy were associated with quality of life. CONCLUSION: The treatment of post-stroke aphasia must incorporate these factors associated with quality of life for a better recovery of patients.

RESUMO

Despite the development of knowledge in diagnosis and therapeutic of epilepsy it remains to be cause of rejection and stigma. We aimed to study the knowledge, attitude and practice toward epilepsy and the stigma in a rural community. The cross-sectional study was carried out from 1st to 31st March 2011 in a rural community (Tourou) at Parakou in the northern Benin. It was a door-to-door survey and included 1 031 adults older than 15 years. The diagnosis of epilepsy was based on International League Against Epilepsy. The specific questionnaire was used and comprised 16 items which explored knowledge, attitude and practice toward epilepsy. Another questionnaire was developed to study stigma among epileptics. The associated factors to the misconception toward epilepsy have been studied. All adults have heard about epilepsy and knew the generalized tonic-clonic form of epilepsy and knew someone with epilepsy. Hereditary (98%) and witchcraft (97.9%) and social problems (65.9%) were mentioned as the most cause of epilepsy. Epilepsy was cited as contagious disease by 90.6% of respondents and the associated factors were the sex (p=0.005) and occupational status (0.024). The saliva (98.1%) and witness of the place of seizure (97.8%) were the frequently mentioned modes of transmission. 65% of all mentioned that epileptics can not get marriage and the main associated factors to this belief were the advanced age (p=0.008) and occupational status (0.004). 64.4% believed that children with epilepsy shouldn't be attend to school, age (0.004), ethnicity (0.047) and occupational status were the associated factors with this misconception. Despite 99.4% considered epilepsy as treatable disease only 12.7% would have referred epileptics to the hospital. All the seven epileptics considered themselves as victims of stigma and rejected by their family and the community. The misconceptions associated to the epilepsy can explain the stigma and the therapeutic gap in this rural community.

RESUMO

Tuberculoma of the cerebellum is a rare presentation of human tuberculosis and the presence of this disease in central nervous system in particular. We report the case of an immunocompetent 53 year old man who initially had an instability when walking, bitemporo-occipital headaches and insomnia, secondarily complicated state of agitation accepted into psychiatric care. The diagnosis was possible with MRI that revealed a mass in the cerebellar tonsil, not taking the contrast after gadolinium injection. The evolution under treatment for tuberculosis was positive. The control MRI performed at 15 months showed no more damage.


Le Tuberculome du cervelet est une présentation rarissime de la tuberculose humaine en général et de l'atteinte par cette maladie du système nerveux central en particulier. Nous rapportons le cas d'un homme de 53 ans immunocompétent qui présentait initialement une instabilité à la marche, des céphalées bitemporo-occipitales et une insomnie, compliquée secondairement d'état d'agitation prise en charge en psychiatrie. Le diagnostic a été possible grâce à l'IRM qui a mis en évidence une masse de l'amygdale cérébelleux, ne prenant pas le contraste après l'injection de gadolinium. L'évolution sous traitement antituberculeux a été favorable. L'IRM de contrôle réalisée à 15 mois ne montrait plus de lésion.

RESUMO

The burden of chronic and neuropathic pain is high making it an important public health problem. The epidemiology is not well known in the general population in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to determine the prevalence of chronic pain with a neuropathic component at Tititou in Parakou in northeastern Benin. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st April to 31 May 2012 and included 2314 people in a door-to-door survey. Chronic pain was defined as pain occurring for more than three months. Neuropathic pain was assessed with the DN4 score. A neurological exam was performed by a young physician for all people with chronic pain. During the interview, sociodemographic data, past medical history, weight and height were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to analyze the main associated factors. Among the 2314 people included in this survey, 49.7% were male. The mean age was 32.3 ± 13.1 years. Nine hundred seven reported pain occurring for more than 3 months. The prevalence of chronic pain was 39.2% (CI95%: 29.3-34.7). It was more frequent in females, older people, among diabetics, people with a history of any surgery, stroke, brain trauma, and alcoholism. The prevalence of chronic pain with a neuropathic component was 6.3% (CI95%: 5.0-7.9). The main associated factors were age, matrimonial status, professional occupation, body mass index, diabetes, history of zoster, history of any surgery, brain trauma. People with neuropathic pain often reported pain with burning (87.6%), prickling (82.8%), numbness (66.9%), tingling (63.4%), and lightning pain (48.3%). The main locations were the lower limbs and low back pain. This study suggested the high frequency of chronic neuropathic pain in the general population in Parakou compared with rates reported in western countries.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Erectile dysfunction is one of the disability post-stroke the least documented. However, it affects the quality of life, not only the patient but also the couple. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work was to study the characteristics of erectile dysfunction after stroke. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical data collection survey conducted from February to October 2011, having identified, 104 patients for follow-up post-stroke, seen in outpatient Neurology University Hospital of Brazzaville and in the functional rehabilitation centers. Among them 54 had erectile dysfunction. The parameters studied were: age, marital status, history, vascular risk factors, and the location of the hemiplegic, the etiology of stroke, modified Rankin score and NIHSS. The clinical features and laboratory, the international index of erectile dysfunction (IIEF-5) in its French version. SPSS 12 was used for recording and statistical analysis of data. Chi(2) test was used for comparisons. The significance level was P≤0.05. RESULTS: The frequency of erectile dysfunction after stroke was 51.92%, the average age was 56.32 years. The mean time to onset of erectile dysfunction after stroke was 5 months. The onset was progressive in 70,4%. The hypercholesterolemia was well correlated with the risk of erectile dysfunction (P=0.007) and its severity (P=0,01). Erectile dysfonction was moderate in 61.1% and almost bearable in half the cases. CONCLUSION: Erectile dysfunction post-stroke is common with an impact in the lives of the couple. High cholesterol is an independent risk factor of occurrence of post-stroke.
