ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Las infecciones en el territorio maxilofacial, son cuadros frecuentes, de origen polimicrobiano, con manifestaciones clínicas muy variables y que están asociadas a múltiples vías de ingreso de los microorganismos al territorio. Un gran porcentaje de estas infecciones se origina en la cavidad oral, principalmente en lesiones bacterianas que sufren los dientes. La compleja anatomía de la cabeza y el cuello, permiten que muchas de estas infecciones se diseminen por espacios profundos, llegando a comprometer órganos o regiones anatómicas adyacentes, que pueden llevar a cuadros clínicos de alto riesgo vital. Los casos clínicos presentados en este artículo corresponden a pacientes tratados en el hospital San Juan de Dios a causa de procesos infecciosos del territorio maxilofacial, por equipos multidisciplinarios.


ABSTRACT: Infections in the maxillofacial territory are frequent cases of polymicrobial origin, with very variable clinical manifestations and are associated with multiple entering pathways of microorganisms in the territory. A large percentage of these infections originate in the oral cavity, mainly in bacterial lesions that undergo experienced by the teeth. The complex anatomy of the head and neck allows many of these infections to spread through deep spaces, leading to compromising adjacent organs or anatomical regions, which can lead to high-risk clinical conditions. The clinical cases presented in this article correspond to patients treated at the San Juan de Dios hospital because of infectious processes of the maxillofacial territory, by multidisciplinary teams.

ABSTRACT

Tumor de Pott (Pott‘s Puffy tumor) é uma comorbidade caracterizada por um ou mais abscessos sub-periosteais do osso frontal associados a osteomielite subjacente. As etiologias incluem trauma e sinusite, entre outras. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 17 anos que se apresentou com abaulameto doloroso, calor local e flutuação na região frontal à direita há um mês, bem como cefaléia holocraniana e hipertermia. O diagnóstico de Tumor de Pott como uma complicação de uma sinusite frontal foi estabelecido pela clínica e confirmado por tomografia computadorizada de crânio. Foi tratada com sucesso com esquema inicial de amoxicilina mais clavulanato, o qual foi substituído por ciprofloxacina, associados à craniotomia, com craniectomia do osso acometido. Esta é uma doença que por ser infreqüente muitas vezes não é diagnosticada. Deste modo enfatizamos o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces como forma de evitar seqüelas neurológicas.


Pott‘s Puffy Tumor is a comorbidity characterized by one or multiple subperiosteal abscesses of the frontal bone associated with underlying osteomyelitis. Etiologies include trauma and sinusitis among others. Here we report the case of a 17-year-old female patient with painful bulging, local heat, and fluctuation in the frontal region on the right for a month, as well as holocranial headache and hyperthermia. The diagnosis of Pott‘s Puffy Tumor as a complication of frontal sinusitis was clinically established and confirmed by computerized tomography of the skull. It was successfully initially treated with amoxicilin + clavunate, followed by ciprofloxacin, combined with craniotomy and craniectomy of the affected bone. Because of its rarity, this disorder often goes underdiagnosed. Thus we emphasize an early diagnosis and treatment so as to avoid neurological sequels.
