ABSTRACT

É feita avaliaçao crítica sobre as diretrizes atuais e consequências da manobra de hiperventilaçao (MHV) na prevençao e tratamento da hipertensao intracraniana (HIC) que segue aos traumatismos crânio-encefálicos (TCE) graves. O uso profilático da MHV deve ser evitado na fase aguda de TCE grave, a menos que se registrem altos valores de O2 no sangue venoso medido no bulbo jugular, ou para ganhar tempo quando o paciente apresenta evidentes sinais posturais de deterioraçao neurológica. A falta de resposta cerebrovascular à MHV para baixar a HIC significa que a barreira hemato-encefálica (BHE) está difusamente lesada. Entao, a MHV pode ser utilizada como um crivo nos TCE graves, uma vez que a lesao da BHE atesta que os demais tratamentos disponíveis para combater a HIC (sedaçao, paralisia e diuréticos osmóticos) nao funcionarao. Uma nova hipótese patogênica do edema encefálico traumático e abordagem terapêutica é apresentada

ABSTRACT

Patients with intracranial aneurysm(s) of the carotid artery territory, treated with pterional craniotomy, were prospectively and randomly addressed to one layer flap (n=36) or myocutaneous (MC) versus two layers'dieresis (n=32) or interfascial (IF). The study protocol included the patient's sex, age, area of craniotomy, time of flap dieresis and synthesis, time of bone dieresis and synthesis, the intracranial time, including dura mater dieresis and synthesis and time of flap retraction. Before and after surgery, the patients were evaluated with examination specially oriented to V and VII cranial nerves, bi-temporal diameter measurement, the symmetry of the temporal region, tempora-mandibularis joint (TMJ) movements and cranial CT scan. The evaluation of the TMJ dysfunction were postoperative pain, movement limitations or mastication, occlusion, mouth aperture and lateral movements of the jaw. The statistical analysis showed that the incidence of pain at TMJ and moderate and severe temporalis muscle atrophy was observed, comparing MC and IF, and there were significant differences among these ones, being greater in IF group. We concluded that both techniques permit equivalent access to the studied intracanial aneurysm(s), and the atrophy of temporalis muscle, pain and movement limitations of the temporomandibularis joint were prevalent, worse and more long-lasting in two-layers flap diaresis than in one-layer flap dieresis.

ABSTRACT

Em estudo prospectivo, pacientes com aneurisma(s) intracraniano(s) foram aleatoriamente tratados pela via pterional através das técnicas de camada única ou diérese cutaneomiofascial (n=36) e a de duas camadas, pela variante interfascial (n=32). O tempo de retraçao do(s) retalho(s) cutaneomuscular, os graus de atrofia do músculo temporal e as complicaçoes funcionais e cosméticas resultantes foram estatisticamente analisadas. O estudo conclui que na técnica em duas camadas, variante interfascial, a atrofia do músculo temporal é mais prevalente e grave, e que a dor na articulaçao temporomandibular é mais freqüente, intensa e duradoura do que na técnica miofascial. Nao houve diferenças significantes nos demais dados observados. O perfil evolutivo da atrofia temporal no estudo, prevatente no grupo interfascial, sugere a natureza isquêmica da contratura do músculo temporal. O padrao de recuperaçao da paralisia dos ramos frontais do nervo facial sugere ser a paralisia conseqüente à traçao excessiva exercida sobre o nervo no retalho.
