ABSTRACT

The congenital liver cysts may be unique, multiple or diffusely distributed in the liver parenchyma ("polycystic liver"). In polycystic liver, the number, size cysts may be associated with polycystic kidney, with the severity of renal disease, which affects the prognosis. The pain and progressive increase in the abdominal cavity, associated with the growth of cysts worsen the quality of life coming to incapacitate the patient. Medical treatment consists of conservative amendments to the diet, AIN, use of antihypertensive and diuretics if developed hypertension. Others include the use of percutaneous drainage led by ultrasound, fenestration, partial hepatectomy and eventually liver transplantation and / or liver-kidney. The following case is a patient of 39-year-old female, with polycystic kidney and liver who does not respond to conservative medical treatment; presenting diffuse persistent abdominal pain, breathlessness on moderate efforts to limit the activity of daily living and incapacity to work, who was practiced remove the wall and fenestration of liver cysts with satisfactory postoperative evolution and improvement of the quality of life.

ABSTRACT

La Estrongiloidiasis es una parasitosis intestinal de distribución mundial, generalmente paucisintomática que puede producir ocasionalmente cuadros intestinales severos, así como enteritis invasiva e hiperinfección en pacientes inmunosuprimidos e inmunocompetentes. La biopsia gástrica y duodenal es poco empleada, su sensibilidad aumenta en la hiperinfección (hasta un 90%), aún si se compara con los métodos coprológicos convencionales, por lo que la endoscopia puede ser considerada como un marcador de severidad, permitiendo establecer el diagnóstico y las características endoscópicas de las lesiones en el tracto gastrointestinal. El presente caso trata de paciente masculino de 52 años, quien consultó por dolor epigástrico, concomitantemente flatulencias y eructos fétidos, nauseas, vómitos y diarreas líquidas autolimitadas. Examen físico: dolor en marco colónico izquierdo y epigastrio. Hallazgos paraclínicos de eosinofilia, se realiza endoscopia que reporta: Gastropatía Antral Nodular y biopsia con diagnóstico de infestación gástrica por Ss. Se indica tratamiento con Albendazol 400mg/d por 3 días, mejorando la sintomatología. La infestación por Ss en mucosa gástrica es un hallazgo infrecuente.


Strongyloidiasis(Ss) is an intestinal parasitosys of global distribution, usually causing few symptoms although can occasionally cause severe intestinal manifestations, as well as invasive enteritis and hyperinfection in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. Gastric and duodenal biopsies are rarely used, their sensitivity increases in the presence of hyperinfection (up 90%), even when compared with the conventional coprologic methods, so endoscopy can be seen as a marker of severity, allowing to establish the diagnosis and characteristics of lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. The following case is about a 52-year-old male with epigastric pain, flatulence and belching, nausea, vomiting and acute watery diarrhea. At physical examination there was pain at the epigastrium and left hemiabdomen. Para - clinical findings revealed eosinophilia; endoscopy report: Antral Nodular gastropathy with the biopsy reporting Ss gastric infestation. Treatment with Albendazole 400mg / d for 3 days was indicated, improving the symptoms. Gastric mucosal infestation by Ss is a rare finding.
