ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La tuberculosis espinal representa el 50 % de los casos de tuberculosis osteoarticular y, sin un tratamiento oportuno, puede ocasionar discapacidad (por complicaciones neurológicas) y deformidad. Se sospecha de esta enfermedad con base en los antecedentes del paciente, la clínica y los hallazgos radiológicos. El diagnóstico se establece con la identificación de Mycobacterium tuberculosis, las características histopatológicas y/o hallazgo de bacilos ácido-alcohol resistentes (BAAR) en el frotis. El diagnóstico diferencial más importante de la tuberculosis espinal es la espondilodiscitis piógena. La resonancia magnética es la prueba de imagen indicada para la valoración del compromiso neurológico y el estudio diagnóstico diferencial. El tratamiento principal es la quimioterapia antituberculosa, y la cirugía puede ser coadyuvante en los casos de tuberculosis espinal complicada, luego de evaluar el déficit neurológico y la deformidad resultante. Está contraindicado realizar solamente una laminectomía, y los implantes para la artrodesis se pueden utilizar en la infección activa. El 8 % de los pacientes con déficit neurológico no logra recuperarse, aun con el tratamiento.


ABSTRACT Spinal tuberculosis accounts for 50 % of all cases of osteoarticular tuberculosis, causing disability (due to neurological complications) and deformity if left untreated. This disease is suspected based on the patient's medical history, clinical manifestations and radiological findings. It is diagnosed by positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the histopathological characteristics of the condition and/or acid-fast bacilli (AFB)-positive smear tests. The main differential diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis is pyogenic spondylodiscitis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the appropriate imaging test to assess the neurological involvement and study the differential diagnosis of the disease. The main treatment is antituberculous chemotherapy, but surgery can be adjunctive in cases of complicated spinal tuberculosis. The decision of which treatment to implement depends on the neurological deficit and the resulting deformity. Laminectomy alone is contraindicated and arthrodesis implants can be used during the active infection. Despite treatment, 8 % of the patients with neurological deficit do not recover.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar si existe relación significativa entre la duración del dolor preoperatorio y el tiempo para el retorno laboral en pacientes operados de hernia discal lumbar. El estudio: Estudio retrospectivo, transversal y analítico. Pacientes operados de hernia discal lumbar por microdiscectomía. La "duración del dolor preoperatorio" se integró en dos grupos: >6 y ≤6 meses de dolor hasta el momento de la cirugía. "Retorno laboral" con punto de corte 3 meses. Se utilizó SPSS, se calculó el OR. Hallazgos: Se analizó 68 pacientes. 55,9% se operaron luego de 6 meses de iniciado los síntomas, 30,9% no retornaron al trabajo a los 3 meses después de la cirugía. El OR para el no retorno al trabajo a los 3 meses fue de 3.65 (IC95%:1.14­11.5 p:0,034). Conclusiones: La duración del dolor preoperatorio y el tiempo para el retorno laboral en pacientes operados con hernia discal lumbar, tienen una relación estadísticamente significativa.


Objetive:To determine if there is a significant relationship between the duration of preoperative pain and the time to return to work in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar disc herniation. : Retrospective, The studycross-sectional and analytical study. Patients undergoing microdiscectomy due to lumbar disc herniation. The duration of preoperative pain was divided into two groups: >6 and ≤ 6 months of pain until the time of surgery. "Return to work" with a cutoff point of 3 months. SPSS program was used, OR was calculated. Findings: 68 patients were analyzed. 55.9% were operated after 6 months of symptoms, 30.9% did not return to work at 3 months after surgery. The OR for "non-return to work at 3 months" group was 3.65 (95% CI:1.14-11.5 p:0.034). Conclusions: The duration of preoperative pain and the time to return to work, in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar disc herniation, have a statistically significant relationship

ABSTRACT

Anterior sacral meningocele is a protrusion of the dural sac through a bone defect in the sacrum anterior wall. It can occur in isolation or be associated with other malformations, such as the Currarino syndrome, which is part of the classic triad together with hemisacrum and anorectal malformation, although it has great variability. This is the case of an adult woman with chronic constipation, recurrent urinary infection and marked abdominal distension, diagnosed with giant anterior sacral meningocele and incomplete Currarino syndrome. The patient underwent a sacral laminectomy and thecal sac ligation at the level of the bone defect. This article describes this rare type of occult spinal dysraphism as well as the surgical technique used.
