Observation: We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with primary Sjgrens syndrome, confirmed by clinical dryness syndrome, positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies, and a salivary gland biopsy revealing grade 4 lymphocytic sialadenitis according to CHISHOLMs classification. Later, the patient developed nephrotic syndrome, along with hypertension. Renal function remained normal with a creatinine level of 9.3 mg/l, and hematuria was absent. Only antinuclear antibodies tested positive, while anti-PLA2R antibodies were negative. A renal biopsy was performed, which was complicated on the same day by hemodynamic instability with hematuria. Renal CT scan with contrast injection revealed a posterior perirenal hematoma without contrast extravasation. Additionally, bilateral renal vein thrombosis was incidentally discovered, suggesting extramembranous glomerulonephritis. The patients hemodynamic status stabilized after fluid resuscitation with isotonic saline solution (0.9%), without the need for blood transfusion. Renal biopsy confirmed extramembranous glomerulonephritis with interstitial fibrosis and minimal tubular atrophy. The initial etiological assessment was negative. The patient was started on oral corticosteroids, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and therapeutic anticoagulation for renal vein thrombosis. The patients condition improved, with the disappearance of the syndrome and spontaneous regression of the hematoma. Discussion: The association of nephrotic syndrome and renal vein thrombosis primarily suggests glomerulopathy, in particular extra-membranous glomerulonephritis. Sjgrens syndrome can be associated with extra-membranous glomerulonephritis without being its direct cause. Like, it is possible that it is a cause of glomerulonephritis, essentially extra membranous and membrano-proliferative. Conclusion: Sjgrens syndrome is generally underestimated cause of glomerulonephritis, which should be considered in cases of extra-membranous glomerulonephritis.展开更多

We report three cases of peripheral neuropathy revealing Gougerot-Sjögren’s syndrome, collected in the Neurology Department of the Fann University Hospital in Dakar (Senegal). Observations: The first patient, aged 48 years, presented with a length-dependent sensitivomotor polyneuropathy associated with retrobulbar optic neuritis, with dry eyes and dry mouth noticed by the patient for several years. The second patient, aged 28 years, was admitted to the hospital with chronic generalized paresthesia in the context of xerostomia and xerophthalmia. The results of the clinical examination and the electroeneuromyogram were in favour of pure sensory neuronopathy. The third patient was 32 years old female, with a history of thyroidectomy and acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), who was seen for acute ascending flaccid tetraplegia with facial diplegia, preceded by diffuse paresthesia. The diagnosis of recurrence of acute demyelinating polyradiculonueropathy was retained in view of the rapidly increasing character of the deficit, the hyperproteinorachy at the lumbar puncture, and the signs of demyelination at the ENMG. The diagnosis of Gougerot-Sjögren’s syndrome in our three patients was established on the basis of the 2016 ACR/EULAR criteria. Indeed, the anti-SSA antibodies (Ro) were positive in our 3 patients with a biopsy of the salivary glands which showed stage 3 in the first patient and stage 4 in the two others. Corticosteroid therapy and immunosuppressive treatment resulted in a favourable clinical evolution on the neurological and general levels. Conclusion: Gougerot-Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune exocrinopathy that may present with peripheral neuropathy, which may precede the diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome, be concomitant or occur during the course of the disease.展开更多

This observation illustrates an incidental finding of a case of SS in a young female patient in a context of obstructive renal failure (ARF) due to uterine fibroids. Observation: This was a 31-year-old woman hospitalized for anuric AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) with a creatinine level of 1247 μmol/l. Her history included sickle cell disease A/C and an unoperated uterine fibroid diagnosed 3 years ago. Approximately 2 months before her admission, her symptomatology was made of dizziness, physical asthenia, vomiting, poly-arthralgia, morning rash, pollakiuria and oral dryness. Abdominal examination showed a painless transverse mass in the pelvis. Biological examination showed a CRP (C-reactive protein) level of 488 mg/l. The cytobacteriological examination of the urine was normal and the proteinuria was 1.35 g/24 hours. The CT scan showed kidneys measuring 110 mm on the right and 113 mm on the left associated with bilateral pyelo-caliceal dilatation on a large polymyomatous uterus of interstitial and submucosal type. Immunologically, the anti-nuclear factor, the rheumatoid factor and the anti-SSA antibodies were positive. The resumption of the interrogation within the framework of the research of the subjective dry syndrome to find a notion of intermittent xerophthalmia 4 months ago. The Schirmer test was positive in the left eye. The initial management consisted of a polymyomectomy after 3 sessions of hemodialysis. Background treatment combining prednisone 5 mg/day and methotrexate 20 mg/week was started in parallel with the use of artificial tears. The evolution after twelve (12) months of treatment was favorable with a complete disappearance of the signs dry syndrome and full recovery of renal function. Conclusion: SS can have an insidious evolution and remain stable for many years, hence its fortuitous discovery in this case of obstructive ARF on uterine fibroid. In this context we insist on the interest of the immunological assessment in a patient in period of genital activity with a significant proteinuria and non-specific extrarenal signs.展开更多
