ABSTRACT

Austrian syndrome is a triad characterized by pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis, as a result of a Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia. We report a previously healthy 49 year-old male, who consulted at the emergency care unit with a history of one week of pleuritic pain, fever leading to an altered level of consciousness and seizures. A diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia and meningitis was reached, isolating Streptococcus pneumoniae in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures. Antibiotic treatment was started but the patient had an unsatisfactory response. During hospitalization a new heart murmur was found in the physical examination. An echocardiography was performed and a massive aortic valve insufficiency was found along with vegetations and a perforation of the same valve. The valve was replaced by a prosthetic one and the patient responded satisfactorily to the surgical and antibiotic treatment, without complications.

ABSTRACT

Background: Pancreatic reconstruction in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has many technical options. Evidence shows no difference in pancreatic fistula rate or mortality between pancretogastrostomy and pancrea-ticojejunostomy reconstruction. Aim: To report the results of the technique used by our team to perform duct-to-mucosa pancreaticogastrostomy (DMPG) in PD. Material and Methods: Follow up of 37 patients aged 53 +/- 12 years (59 percent women), subjected to pancreatoduodenectomy, using DMPG. Perioperative complications were reported using the Dindo-Clavien classification. Results: All patients had a pancreatic cancer. The tumor was located in the head or ampulla of Vater in 38 percent of patients. The most common histological type was adenocarcinoma in 33 patients (89 percent). Seventy three percent of patients did not have regional lymph node involvement (NO). Two patients died (5 percent). Postoperative complications were registered in 35 percent of patients. Two patients developed pancreatic fistulas, that were type A and B I one patient each, according to the classification of the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula. Conclusions: The morbidity and mortality associated with DMPG in PD in the reported cohort are comparable to those reported by other local studies.


Introducción: Para la reconstrucción pancreática en pancreatoduodenectomía (PD) existen diversas técnicas; la evidencia científica no demuestra diferencia en el porcentaje de fístulas pancreáticas ni morbi-mortalidad entre la reconstrucción con pancreatogastrostomía y pancreatoyeyunostomía. Nuestro objetivo es describir la técnica de pancreato-gastro anastomosis ducto-mucosa (PGADM) y los resultados en términos de morbimortalidad de esta técnica utilizada para la reconstrucción pancreática en PD. Material y Método: Estudio de serie de casos con seguimiento. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 15 años que fueron sometidos a PD y en los cuales se realizó reconstrucción pancreática con PGADM por el equipo de cirugía hepatopancreática y biliar del Hospital Regional de Temuco desde 1996 hasta 2010. Se reportó morbilidad perioperatoria según la clasificación de Dindo-Clavien. Se aplica estadística descriptiva. Resultados: La cohorte está constituida por 37 pacientes, la edad promedio fue 53 +/- 12 años y el 59 por ciento género masculino. Todos los pacientes tienen confirmación histopatológica de neoplasia, siendo los orígenes más frecuentes la cabeza del páncreas y ampolla de Vater con un 38 por ciento. El tipo histológico más frecuente fue el adenocarcinoma en 33 pacientes (89 por ciento). El 73 por ciento de los pacientes no tenía compromiso de ganglios linfáticos regionales (N0). La morbilidad peri operatoria fue de 35 por ciento. Dos pacientes presentaron fístulas pancreáticas (5,4 por ciento), uno tipo A y otra tipo B según la clasificación de la ISGPF. La mortalidad perioperatoria es de 2 pacientes (5 por ciento). Conclusiones: La morbi-mortalidad asociada a PD con reconstrucción pancreática con PGADM es comparable a la reportada por series nacionales.
