Introduction: Choledochal cysts are a rare condition, characterized by dilatation of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. The clinical presentation is variable and includes the presence of an abdominal mass, jaundice, fever, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Materials and methods: The objective of this study is to determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with choledochal cyst treated at the Hospital del Niño Dr. José Renán Esquivel during the years 2005 to 2018. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted, with interest in demographic characteristics such as age, sex, place of origin, ethnic group and clinical characteristics such as symptoms, diagnostic method, type of cyst reported, histopathology, complications. Results: The N were 36 patients (n = 25 female and n = 11 male). The age group of 0-4 years represented 67% of the study subjects. The main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, vomiting and jaundice. The main diagnostic method used was the abdominal ultrasound. Main postsurgical complications cholangitis, pancreatitis and digestive bleeding. The majority of the classified cysts are Todani IC and IV. Conclusions: The choledochal cyst is a pathology present in Panama with 2.8 cases per year.
ABSTRACT
Introdução: Além da perda da funcionalidade após a lesão medular (LM), a dor é tida como uma das principais complicações mais incapacitantes e vivenciadas no processo de reabilitação, mesmo com o avanço significativo na compreensão da fisiopatologia e tratamento da dor, a abordagem desse sintoma ainda é precária na lesão medular. Objetivo: Descrever as características do quadro álgico nessa população e associar a dor com o tipo de lesão, interferência nas atividades de vida diária (AVD's) e o seu aparecimento. Método: Trata-se de estudo transversal com um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado aplicado a 77 pacientes. Foram calculadas a média e desvio padrão, frequências absolutas e relativas, para a associação entre as variáveis qualitativas foi utilizado teste Qui-quadrado (X²). Resultados: A idade foi de 38,26 ± 12,43 anos, sendo 84,4% homens e 80,5% de paraplégicos. Trinta e um foram por acidente automobilístico e 29 por ferimento de arma de fogo, sendo 61,0% com lesão medular completa. Quanto à dor, 44,2% relataram dor severa e 29,8% a moderada, em 50,6% não sentiam dor acima da lesão e 58,4% sentiam-na abaixo. Trinta e nove relataram sentir dor em queimação, 40,0% relataram que a dor surgiu no primeiro ano após a LM. A intensidade da dor foi de 5,44 ± 3,18 pontos, sendo 5,20 ± 3,07 nos homens, 6,75 ± 3,54 nas mulheres, 4,13 ± 3,18 nos tetraplégicos e 5,76 ± 3,12 nos paraplégicos. Para 27 pacientes a dor piorou permanecendo na mesma posição, para 22 melhorou realizando fisioterapia e para 21 com a mudança de posição. Para 68,8% a dor não interferiu nas AVD's. Vinte e oito utilizaram medicação analgésica. Houve associação significativa de que a presença de dor abaixo da lesão interfere nas AVD's (p=0,04) e surge no primeiro ano após a lesão acima e abaixo da lesão (p=0,05 e p=0,01), respectivamente. Conclusão: A dor foi prevalente nos lesados medulares, mais evidenciada nas mulheres e na maioria surgiu no primeiro ano após a lesão e interfere AVD's. A fisioterapia e a mudança de posição diminuíram a dor. Portanto, as orientações e intervenções por parte da equipe multiprofissional devem ser imediatas após a lesão, pois a prevenção ou diminuição desta complicação refletirá na melhoria da qualidade de vida e na readaptação do paciente à sua vida familiar e social.
Introduction: Aside from the loss of functionality after a spinal cord injury (SCI) pain is considered one of the most disabling complications experienced in the rehabilitation process, even with the significant advances in understanding the physiopathology and treatment of the pain, the approach to this symptom is still precarious in spinal cord injury. Objective: To describe the characteristics of pain in this population and to associate the pain between variables such as the type of injury, the interference in the daily living activities (DLA), and its onset. Method: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study and was conducted on 77 patients with spinal cord injuries; the survey was applied using a semi-structured interview. Mean and standard deviation and absolute and relative frequencies were calculated, and for the association between qualitative variables we used the Chi-square test (X²). Results: The mean age was 38.26 ± 12.43 years, 84.4% of which were men, and 80.5% were paraplegics. Thirty-one were caused by motor vehicle crashes and twenty-nine were by gunshot; 61% of them were fully disabled. As for the pain, 44.2% reported severe pain and 29.8% moderate, 50.6% felt no pain above the lesion, but 58.4% felt it below. Thirty-nine patients reported feeling burning pain, 40% reported that the pain came in the first year after SCI. Pain intensity was 5.44 ± 3.18 points, with 5.20 ± 3.07 in men and 6.75 ± 3.54 in women; for tetraplegic individuals it was 4.13 ± 3.18 and with 5.76 ± 3.12 in the paraplegics. For 27 patients the pain worsened if they remained in the same position, improved to 22 by performing physiotherapy, and to 21 with a change in position. For 68.8% of the patients the pain did not interfere with their DLAs. Twenty-eight used analgesics. It was significantly mentioned that the presence of pain below the lesion interferes with the DLAs (p=0.04) and appears in the first year after injury above and below the lesion (p=0.05 and p=0.01), respectively. Conclusion: Pain was prevalent in those with injured spinal cords, more evident in women, and for the majority arose in the first year after injury and interferes with their DLA. Physiotherapy and a change of position decreased the pain. Therefore, orientations and interventions by the multidisciplinary team should be immediate after the injury, because the prevention or reduction of this complication will lead to an improved quality of life and the re-adaptation of the patient to their family and social life.
