Presentación de un meningocele lumbosacro en un adulto / Case Presentation of a ruptured lumbosacral meningocele in an adult patient

La espina bífida, o mielodisplasia, es una anomalía de origen multifactorial congénita que se presenta con mayor frecuencia durante el desarrollo embrionario. Se produce por el cierre parcial de los pliegues neurales conjuntamente con una fusión defectuosa de los arcos vertebrales. Su clínica es variable e incluye una serie de manifestaciones como expresión del compromiso neurológico. El diagnóstico se basa en la presencia de las manifestaciones clínicas ayudado de estudios imagenológicos. La corrección quirúrgica del defecto es la conducta terapéutica que se preconiza como adecuada. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 34 años de edad con mielomeningocele no corregido en edad infantil que se presenta con complicaciones infecciosas y secuelas neurológicas. Se administró esquema de antibioticoterapia con varios antibióticos de amplio espectro, y se decidió intervenir quirúrgicamente, con lo que se logró el cierre del orificio comunicante de la región espinal con el exterior. Además, se reconstruyó la zona aledaña al mielomeningocele para evitar posible sepsis del Sistema Nervioso Central. La paciente tuvo una evolución favorable y fue dada de alta hospitalaria a los 7 días posteriores a la intervención quirúrgica sin secuelas neurológicas(AU)

Spine bifida, or myelodysplasia, is a multifactorial congenital anomaly that occurs most frequently during embryonic development. It is produced by the partial closure of the neural folds together with a defective fusion of the vertebral arches. Its clinic is variable and includes a series of manifestations as an expression of neurological compromise. The diagnosis is based on the presence of clinical manifestations, aided by imaging studies. Surgical correction of the defect is the therapeutic conduct that is recommended as adequate. This report presents the case of a 34-year-old patient with uncorrected myelomeningocele in childhood who presented with infectious and neurological sequelae complications(AU)

Abstract Introduction Traffic accidents are an important public health problem; however, little is known about their consequences. Objective To analyze disabilities in traffic accident victims. Methods Cross-sectional study, based on primary data from a sample of victims of non-fatal traffic accidents, attended at selected emergency services in Mato Grosso in September 2014. The collection instrument was based on the International Classification Checklist Functionality, Disability, and Health. Results 228 victims of traffic accidents were evaluated, predominantly young men, motorcyclists. Body function deficiencies most affected were sensory and pain (49.3%) and neuromusculoskeletal (45.8%), while those of body structure were related to movement (85.5%); both presenting moderate severity. Regarding activity limitation and participation restriction, problems related to mobility predominated (42.0%), with moderate severity (30.5%). Among the environmental factors, services, systems, and policies stood out as barriers (66.3%) and the support and relationship with family and friends as facilitators (40.9%). Conclusion Approximately half of the victims of traffic accidents had disabilities. The study fills an important gap for understanding this public health problem.

A prospective observational study to describe magnetic resonance imaging findings in perinatal asphyxia in terms of severity, outcome and neurological sequel in term and preterm babies

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a significant cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. MRI is useful for assessing the severity and pattern of brain injuries. There is less data of MRI findings of perinatal asphyxia from India and the subcontinents. This prospective observational study was done to describe MRI brain findings in neonates with perinatal asphyxia with respect to various determinants.Methods:' Initial MRI brain was done when babies were stable after fulfilling inclusion criteria. Immediate outcome was assessed at the end of hospital stay. They were followed up for presence of any sequel up to 1 year. Repeat MRI brain was done in few selected babies. Data was collected and statistically analyzed.Results: Total 55 babies were included in the study (term 27, preterm 28). There were 9 babies in stage 1, 17 babies in stage II and 22 babies in stage III. MRI brain findings were normal in 8 and abnormal in 47 patients. There were Deep gray matter injury (DG) in 22, Para Sagittal subcortical white matter injury (PS) in 6, Germinal matrix haemorrage (GMH), intraventricular haemorrage (IVH) and Periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) in 12 and Mixed pattern of injury in 7 babies. Findings among 9 expired babies were: 4 (44.4%) DG, 2 (22.2%) GMH+IVH and 3 (33.3%) mixed. There was neurological sequel in 13 babies (48.1%).' Babies with normal MRI initially had no sequel.Conclusion: Brain injury due to perinatal asphyxia follows several patterns according to gestational age and severity. Early and accurate recognition of these patterns with the help of MRI brain helps in managing the baby and predicting the prognosis.

Carpectomía de fila proximal versus artrodesis de cuatro esquinas en pacientes con lesiones de SLAC y SNAC / Proximal carpectomy versus four-cornered arthrodesis in patients with lesions SLAC and SNAC

Resumen: Las lesiones por el colapso escafosemilunar avanzado y el colapso avanzado por seudoartrosis del escafoides son consecuencia de un traumatismo que origina la fractura de escafoides y la consecuente seudoartrosis, resultando en una cinemática anormal de la muñeca y en una lesión de ligamento escafosemilunar, respectivamente. Las opciones quirúrgicas actuales para el tratamiento incluyen artrodesis parcial y carpectomía de la línea proximal del carpo. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, transversal y descriptivo en el período comprendido de Enero de 2010 a Diciembre de 2015. Se estudiaron 52 pacientes operados con artrodesis de cuatro esquinas y 19 pacientes manejados con carpectomía. Resultados: Del total de 71 pacientes, 62 fueron masculinos y nueve femeninos. Para el procedimiento de carpectomías, fueron 14 varones y cinco mujeres, para los pacientes con artrodesis de cuatro esquinas se incluyeron 48 masculinos y cuatro femeninos. Se identificaron 48 pacientes con colapso avanzado por seudoartrosis del escafoides y 23 pacientes con colapso escafosemilunar avanzado. Se realizaron 19 carpectomías y 52 artrodesis de cuatro esquinas del total de pacientes, 65 de ellos cursaron sin ninguna complicación, tres pacientes con retardo de la consolidación, dos con dolor residual, y uno con proceso infeccioso superficial. Discusión: La técnica de artrodesis de cuatro esquinas implica mayor tiempo de cirugía y de costos en relación con la carpectomía; sin embargo, la artrodesis tiene una reincorporación más rápida al trabajo con mejoría del dolor con respecto a la carpectomía; la decisión final en nuestra institución dependerá del caso y de la actividad del paciente.

Abstract: Advanced scafosemilunar collapse (SLAC) and advanced scaphoid pseudoarthrosis (SNAC) collapse are the result of trauma causing scaphoid fracture and the consequent pseudoarthrosis resulting in abnormal kinematics of the wrist and a scapholunate ligament injury, respectively. Current surgical options for SLAC/SNAC treatment include partial arthrodesis, carpal proximal row resection. Material and methods: Retrospective, cross-cutting and descriptive study was carried out in the period from January 2010 to December 2015. 52 patients operated on with 4-cornered arthrodesis and 19 patients with carpectomy were studied. Results: 71 patients, 62 male patients and 9 female patients were analysed. For the carpectomy procedure were 5 female patients, for patients with four-corner arthrodesis 48 male patient and 4 female patient were included. 48 patients with SNAC and 23 patients with SLAC were identified. 19 carpectomies and 52 arthrodesis of four corners of the total patients 65 of them were carried without any complications, 3 patients with delay of consolidation two with residual pain, and one with superficial infectious process. Discussion: The four-corner arthrodesis technique involves longer surgery and costs in relation to carpectomy, however arthrodesis has a faster return to pain-improvement work with respect to carpectomy; the final decision will depend on the case, the patient's activity.

Introducción: Los ahogamientos son una amenaza grave y desatendida de salud pública, constituyen la primera causa de muerte en niños <3 años. Más del 90% de esas muertes ocurren en países de bajos y medianos ingresos. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los marcadores pronósticos tempranos de mala evolución neurológica en niños ahogados con paro cardiorrespiratorio que ingresaron en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, de observación y analítico. Se estudiaron pacientes entre el mes de vida y los 15 años que ingresaron en la Unidad de Cuidados Críticos, entre el 1 de enero de 2010 y el 31 de diciembre de 2015. Se examinaron las siguientes variables al ingreso: edad, sexo, ácido láctico, pH, exceso de base, bicarbonato y glucemia plasmática, puntaje PRISM, lugar del accidente y supervisión de las víctimas. Resultados: Ingresaron 11 pacientes con diagnóstico de ahogamiento y paro cardiorrespiratorio. La mediana de la edad fue de 29 meses. El 54% eran niñas y el 48%, varones. Tres pacientes fallecieron. Entre los supervivientes, tres ni- ños sufrieron daño neurológico grave. El peor pronóstico se asoció con ácido láctico >6 mmol/l y glucemia >300 mg% al ingresar. El puntaje PRISM mostró una relación directamente proporcional a la Pediatric Cerebral Performance Categorization Scale Conclusión: En nuestra población, se asociaron a mal pronóstico la lactacidemia >6 mmol/l, la glucemia plasmática >300 mg% y el puntaje PRISM elevado en los grupos de peor pronóstico (AU)

Introduction: Drowning is a serious and neglected threat in public health, it is the leading cause of death in children under 3 years. Over 90% of these deaths occur in low and middle income countries. The objective of this work is to identify early prognostic markers of poor neurological outcome in drowned children with cardiorespiratory arrest admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Materials and Methods: Retrospective, observational and analytical study. Patients between the month of life and 15 years admitted to the Critical Care Unit between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2015 were studied. The following variables were examined on admission: age, sex, lactic acid, pH, base excess, bicarbonate, and plasma glucose levels, PRISM score, scene and supervision of the victims. Results: Eleven patients were admitted with a diagnosis of drowning and cardiac arrest. The median age was 29 months. 54% were female and 48% male. Three patients died. Among the survivors, three children suffered severe neurological damage. Poor prognosis was associated with lactic acid >6 mmol/l, glucose >300 mg% at admission. The PRISM score was directly proportional to the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Categorization Scale. Conclusion: In our population, poor prognosis was associated with the presence of lactate >6 mmol/l, plasma glucose >300 mg% and a high PRISM score in the worst prognosis group.(AU)
