ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de seis años, de sexo femenino sin antecedentes mórbidos ni familiares de importancia, quien consulta por proptosis izquierda en abril de 2011. Se realiza resonancia magnética de cerebro evidenciándose un tumor de seno etmoidal con compromiso de órbita izquierda que ocasiona exoftalmo. La biopsia endoscópica nasal fue compatible con fibroma osificante juvenil. Posteriormente se realiza antrostomía con etmoidectomía en dos tiempos, con resultados satisfactorios para la paciente. Aunque el fibroma osificante juvenil es un tipo de lesión benigna poco frecuente, puede llegar a ser muy agresiva y con una alta tasa de recidiva en ciertas ocasiones, por lo que se debe tener en cuenta para realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, con un seguimiento programado a largo plazo.


This paper presents the case of a patient of six years old female without background or important morbidly in her family, who consults for left-sided proptosis in April of 2011. It performs brain magnetic resonancebeing demonstrated a tumor of theethmoid sinus with commitment to the left orbit that causes exophthalmus. Nasal endoscopic biopsy was compatible with juvenile ossifying fibroma. It was subsequently performed ananthrostomy whitethmoidectomy in two times, with satisfactory results for the patient. Although the Juvenile ossifying fibroma is a rare type of benign lesion, can be very aggressive and have a high recurrence rate in certain occasions, by what should be taken into account to make an early diagnosis and treatment, with a scheduled follow up in the long term.

ABSTRACT

La atresia de coanas es la anomalía congénita nasal más común. Cuando es bilateral, se presenta con dificultad respiratoria desde el nacimiento. La atresia unilateral se manifiesta con insuficiencia ventilatoria y rinorrea unilateral, pudiendo pasar inadvertida. El diagnóstico se sospecha ante la ausencia de paso de aire en las fosas nasales y la imposibilidad de hacer progresar una sonda nasogástrica. Se confirma mediante examen endoscópico y tomografía computarizada. El tratamiento definitivo es quirúrgico, existiendo diferentes técnicas y vías de abordaje. Se presenta una revisión de la literatura, con especial énfasis en el tratamiento pos-quirúrgico con stents y mitomicina-C a través de una mirada desde la evidencia.


Choanal atresia is the most common congenital nasal anomaly. When bilateral, it presents with respiratory distress at birth. Unilateral atresia is manifested by respiratory failure and unilateral rhinorrhea, and may go along unnoticed. Diagnosis is suspected in the absence of airflow in the nasal cavity and for the inability to advance a nasogastric tube. Diagnosis is confirmed by endoscopic examination and computed tomography. The definitive treatment is surgical, and there are different techniques and surgical approaches. A review of the literatureis presented, with special emphasis onthepost-surgical treatmentwithstents and Mitomycin-Cview from the evidence.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Lemierre (SL), una grave complicación, generalmente de las infecciones orofaríngeas. Se caracteriza por una inflamación agresiva del espacio parafaríngeo lateral, aparición de tromboflebitis de la vena yugular interna y el desarrollo de émbolos sépticos a distancia. Con un diagnóstico clínico y radiológico para su confirmación y posterior seguimiento, debe ser tratado con antibioterapia precoz y parenteral, además de debridación, drenaje quirúrgico de las posibles colecciones purulentas que presente y eventual anticoagulació. En el siguiente trabajo, reportamos el caso de un paciente con esta rara, pero nuevamente emergente entidad, en donde se profundiza su estudio y se resume la literatura.


Lemierre's syndrome (SL), generally, a serious complication of the oropharyngeal infections.Its characterized by an aggressive inflammation of the lateral parapharyngeal space, thrombophlebitis of the yugular internal vein and metastasic abscesses in different organs. With a clinical and radiological diagnosis for his confirmation and later follow-up, it must be treatedwith iv antibiotics and surgical drainage of the possible purulent collections that he presentsand eventual anticoagulation. In the following work, we bring the case of a patient with this rare, but again emergent entity, where his study is deepened and the literature is summarized.

ABSTRACT

The sphenoidal sinus mucocele is a pseudocystic lesion of paranasal cavity (CPN). These injuries are probably underdiagnosed as they may be asymptomatic or cause nonspecific symptoms. The CT scan and the MRI increase the precision of the preoperative evaluation. We present a case of sphenoid sinus mucocele in a patient of 69 years old, who was admitted at our institution with 1 month evolution of persistent headache. Clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of this case are discussed as well as the review of the literature...
