Mucormycosis is a rare and invasive fungal infection, but frequently fatal when it occurs. It commonly affects patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical presentation, radiological findings, management and prognosis of mucormycosis. ⋯ Mucormycosis remains a severe infectious disease in diabetic patients. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory for a successful management of this infection.

Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) is a common condition affecting infants before the first three months of life. ⋯ The cause of HPS is unknown. The diagnosis is suggested by clinic features and confirmed by imaging. Early diagnosis prevents from metabolic complications due to vomiting. Surgical treatment allows early feeding and is associated with a low complication rate and a good long-term outcome.

Case ReportsRecurrent obstructions after resonance stent placement in the treatment of ureteral compression from malignant disease.
The Resonance ureteral stent is a newly developed all-metallic double-pigtail ureteral stent allowing a palliative diversion on a patient with malignant ureteral obstruction. ⋯ The risk of subsequent obstruction after Resonance metallic ureteral stent placement is real. Patients with intra-ureteral tumour extension are presumably not good candidates for Resonance stent management.

[Diagnosis and treatment of Brodie's abcess in adults: about twenty cases].
Brodie's abscess is a bone abscess described as a localized primary purulent collection with sclerotic wall. Since the first report of Sir Benjamin Brodie in 1832, many papers described different clinical and treatment aspects. Pathogeny and therapy still remain not clearly elucidated. ⋯ According to our study, we believe that surgical treatment based on total excision of the bone collection and the sclerotic wall is the best method of therapy. As a matter of fact, healing was obtained without grafting in all cases and in the long-term follow up, abscess disappeared without recurrence and fistulisation.
