ABSTRACT

Se presentó un paciente masculino de 59 años de edad, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial y consumo regular de sildenafil, que ingresó en el servicio de ictus por presentar convulsión aguda y cefalea. Al examen físico se detectó hemiplejia izquierda. Mediante resonancia magnética nuclear de cráneo, con gadolinio se observó lesión expansiva que captó contraste de forma heterogénea. Se planteó el diagnóstico de posible glioma cerebral de alto grado. Se realizó craneotomía frontoparietal derecha y no se visualizó lesión tumoral. Después de descartar la presencia de un glioma de alto grado se valoró el diagnóstico de infarto venoso hemorrágico. Se efectuó angioTAC y estudio de trombofilia para descartar estados protrombóticos que justificaran dicha entidad nosológica. Los estudios de hematología especial se encontraron dentro de valores normales. Se concluyó el caso como una trombosis de senos venosos asociada al consumo de sildenafil(AU)


A 59 year-old male patient with a history of hypertension and regular consumption of sildenafil entered the service because of acute stroke and headache seizure. Physical examination detected left hemiplegia. By skull nuclear gadolinium magnetic resonance, an expansive lesion is observed which caught heterogeneously contrast. Possible diagnosis of high-grade brain glioma was raised. Right frontoparietal craniotomy was performed and a tumor lesion was not visualized. After ruling out the presence of high-grade glioma, the diagnosis of hemorrhagic venous infarction was assessed. CT angiography and clotting was made to rule out prothrombotic states to justify this disease entity. Special hematology studies were within normal values. The case was concluded as a venous sinus thrombosis associated with the use of sildenafil(AU)
