ABSTRACT

Reportamos el caso de un varón de 18 años quien sufrió contusión cervical por impacto con balón de fútbol. Tres días después fue hospitalizado con hemiplejia derecha directa y afasia de expresión. La resonancia magnética cerebral mostró lesión isquémica izquierda en ganglios basales. El doppler carotideo evidenció trombo desde el origen de la arteria carótida común izquierda extendida a la arteria carótida interna izquierda (CII) y la angiotomografía documentó disección de CII (lesión traumática carotídea tipo IV). Se optó por anticoagulación con warfarina y fisioterapia de rehabilitación; con evolución favorable. La incidencia de la injuria traumática carotídea es muy rara, más aún en futbolistas; el tratamiento es aún controversial, por lo que consideramos de interés el reporte de este caso.


We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient who suffered cervical trauma with a soccer ball. He presented three days after with right hemiparesis and expressive aphasia. The magnetic resonance image showed an ischemic lesion on the left basal ganglia area. The Doppler ultrasound revealed a thrombus extending from the left common carotid artery to the left internal carotid artery, and the angio-computed tomographic scan revealed a dissection of the left internal carotid artery (carotid lesion type IV). Anticoagulation with warfarin and physiotherapy were started with good clinical evolution. The traumatic injury of the carotid artery is very rare. Treatment is controversial, so we consider interest report of this case.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la enfermedad de Carrión es una enfermedad re-emergenteen el Perú y presenta diversas complicaciones infecciosas y no infecciosas. Objetivo: Evaluar las complicaciones cardiovasculares (CC) en la fase aguda de la enfermedadMétodos: Estudio observacional realizado en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia (HNCH) desde 1987-2007. Ingresaron pacientes adultos con el diagnóstico confirmado de Bartonelosis. esultados: De los 68 pacientes incluidos 52 fueron masculinos y 16 femeninos, la edad media fue 25,7 años. Ninguno tuvo enfermedad cardiovascular previa. Los principales hallazgos clínicos fueron: fiebre (99%), hepatomegalia (79%), ictericia (74%), taquicardia (74%), taquipnea 71%), soplo sistólico (68%), disnea (62%), reflujo hepatoyugular (19%) e ingurgitación yugular (15%). 64 radiografías de tórax evaluadas mostraron: 44% cardiomegalia, 20% congestión pulmonar, y 16% derramepleural. Conclusión: las CC son frecuentes en la bartonelosis. Diversos síndromes cardiovasculares fueron observados, y se asociaron a menor tiempo de enfermedad, mayor estancia ospitalaria, mayor uso de cloramfenicol (Caf) y menor de ciprofloxacina (Cip), mayor frecuencia de complicacionesinfecciosas y más admisiones a la UCI, pero no mayor mortalidad.


Introduction: Carrion's disease is considered a re-emerging disease in Peru, and it leads to several non-infectious and infectious complications.Objectives: To assess cardiovascular complications (CC) during the acute phase of this disease.Methods: An observational study was conducted at Cayetano Heredia Hospital (HNCH) from 1987 to 2007. Adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Bartonellosis were included. Results: 68 patients were included (52 males, mean age 25,7 years). No one had prior cardiovascular disease. Main clinical findings were: fever (99%), hepatomegaly (79%), jaundice (74 per cent), tachycardia (74%), tachypnea (71%), systolic murmur (68%), dyspnea (62%), hepatojugular reflux (19%) and jugular ingurgitation (15%). Sixty-four chest X-ray films showed the following findings: 44% cardiomegaly, 20% pulmonary congestion, and 16% pleural effusion. Transthoracic echocardiogram was performed in 42 patients: 38% had pericardial effusion, 19% dilated left atrium, and 17% dilated left ventricle. Thirty-six patients developed CC: congestive heart failure was found in 92%, effusive pericarditis in 44%, acute pulmonary edema in 36%, cardiogenic shock in 17%, pericardiac tamponade in 11% and myocarditis in 11%. Patients who developed CC had a shorter time of illness before admission (p= 0.01), stayed longer in the hospital (p= 0.014), used more chloramphenicol (p= 0.009) and less ciprofloxacin (p= 0.004), they developed more infectious complications (p= 0.002), and they were more frequently admitted in the ICU (p= 0.004), compared to patients who did not develop CC.Conclusion: CC are frequent in Bartonellosis. A variety of cardiovascular syndromes was observed, and they were associated to a shorter time of illness before admission, longer hospitalizations ...
