ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El neumomediastino es la presencia de aire en el mediastino, tiene incidencia variable que oscila entre 1/80 000 y 1/42 000 a nivel mundial, genera una diversidad de características clínicas, puede ser secundario a entidades torácicas o extra torácicas; dentro de las causas extratorácicas, podemos asociarlo a procedimientos dentales siendo de vital importancia considerar la posibilidad y la asociación a dichos procedimientos para su diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuado. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de sexo femenino de 23 años, que 24 horas previas a su ingreso, se realizó procedimiento dental tipo exodoncia del tercer molar inferior izquierdo, en el que se usó instrumental manual y neumático, que debió ser suspendido; la paciente presentó dolor intenso más dificultad respiratoria, posterior a ello dolor torácico opresivo, mandibular y en cuello de lado izquierdo, acompañado de enfisema subcutáneo en hemicara izquierda, cuello bilateralmente y subclavicular izquierdo. EVOLUCIÓN: Paciente es ingresada con diagnóstico de neumomediastino secundario a procedimiento dental para tratamiento antibiótico de amplio espectro y vigilancia, durante su hospitalización por tres días permanece estable, afebril con mejoría clínica general. CONCLUSIÓN: El neumomediastino es una complicación poco frecuente tras intervenciones odontológicas, se debe sospechar por el uso de instrumental neumático que disecan los tejidos blandos faciales, del cuello y tórax; la paciente tuvo una evolución favorable en base al diagnóstico y tratamient


BACKGROUND: Neumomediastinum is defined as the presence of air in the mediastinum, It has variable incidence that oscillates between 1/80000 and 1/420000, generates a diversity of clinical characteristics. It can be secondary to thoracic or extra thoracic entities, within extrathoracic causes; it can be associated with dental procedures, being of vital importance consider the possibility and the association to this procedure to get to an adequate diagnosis and treatment. CASE REPORT: A 23-year-old female patient who, 24 hours prior to admission, underwent a dental procedure such as a third-molar left third molar extraction, in which manual instruments and pneumatics dental lathe were used, which had to be suspended; the patient presented severe pain plus respiratory difficulty, after that she presented oppressive chest pain, mandibular and left side neck, accompanied by subcutaneous emphysema in the left side of the face, neck bilaterally and left subclavicular EVOLUTION: The patient was hospitalize with a diagnosis of neumomediastinum secondary to dental procedure to receive treatment with broad spectrum antibiotic and surveillance, during her hospitalization for three days she remains stable, afebrile with general clinical improvement. CONCLUSIONS: The neumomediastinum is a rare complication after odontological interventions. It should be suspected when pneumatic instrument lathe are used that dissect facial, neck and thorax soft tissues; the patient had a favorable evolution based on the diagnosis and early treatment proposed by the doctors according to the patients symptoms.

ABSTRACT

A 50-year-old male, a tobacco smoker, who was known to have ulcerative colitis presented with dry cough, chest pain, dysponea and frequent passage of blood and mucous mixed stools. Physical examination revealed clubbing, subcutaneous emphysema of upper chest and auscultatory findings of crunching sound over pre-cordial area and basal crepitations. Spirometry was suggestive of restrictive pattern. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of thorax revealed pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, bilateral diffuse centrilobular nodules and ground-glass haziness with mosaic pattern along with posterior basal fibrotic changes. The present case documents the uncommon pulmonary involvement of spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema diffuse parenchymal lung disease, in a patient with ulcerative colitis.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A ocorrência de enfisema subcutâneo na parede torácica durante procedimento cirúrgico onde se realizou infiltração de anestésico pode sugerir a presença de pneumotórax e suas possíveis complicações. A ocorrência de pneumotórax durante mamoplastia de aumento já foi descrita. Contudo, não foram encontrados na literatura pesquisada, relatos de presença isolada de enfisema subcutâneo nesse tipo de procedimento. O objetivo deste relato foi ressaltar a importância de adequada monitoração do paciente no intra-operatório, da integração dos membros da equipe e descrever o enfisema subcutâneo, isolado, em paciente submetida à inclusão de próteses mamárias. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente com 27 anos, 1,70 m, 54 kg, apresentava hipomastia bilateral, tendo sido submetida à inclusão de próteses mamárias em plano retroglandular. O procedimento foi realizado sob anestesia geral inalatória, associada à infiltração de solução anestésica, em plano subcutâneo, da área a ser manipulada. Durante a operação percebeu-se crepitação, característica de enfisema subcutâneo, em extensa área anterior do tórax. Não houve alteração nos parâmetros de monitoração da paciente. A radiografia realizada no pós-operatório confirmou o quadro clínico e descartou a ocorrência de outras complicações. CONCLUSÕES: A ocorrência de enfisema subcutâneo durante inclusão de próteses mamárias pode ser um dado inocente, mas é importante verificar as condições clínicas da paciente e afastar a possibilidade de pneumotórax.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Subcutaneous emphysema of the thoracic wall during a surgical procedure with infiltration of local anesthetics may suggest the presence of pneumothorax and its complications. The development of pneumothorax during breast augmentation has already been reported; however, we did not find any reports in the literature on isolated subcutaneous emphysema during this type of procedure. The objective of this report was to emphasize the importance of adequate intraoperative monitoring of the patient, integration of team members, and describe the isolated subcutaneous emphysema in a patient during breast augmentation. CASE REPORT: A 27 years old patient with 1.70 m and 54 kg, with bilateral hypomasty, underwent breast augmentation in a retroglandular plane. It was done under inhalational general anesthesia associated with infiltration of an anesthetic solution in the subcutaneous tissue in the area to be manipulated. During the procedure, crepitation, characteristic of subcutaneous emphysema, was observed over a large area of the anterior thorax. There were no changes in monitoring parameters. Postoperative chest X-rays confirmed the clinical diagnosis and ruled out the presence of other complications. CONCLUSIONS: Subcutaneous emphysema during breast augmentation can be an innocent sign, but it is important to evaluate the patient to rule out the presence of a pneumothorax.

ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infections may have different clinical presentations that may range from asymptomatic bacteriuria to purulent collections and severe sepsis. We report 6 diabetic patients, 3 presenting with a renal carbuncle and 3 with an emphysematous pyelonephritis. All required medical and surgical treatment and had a good evolution. Two carbuncles were caused by beta-hemolitic type B streptococcus. This is the second notification of this agent as causative of renal abscesses, probably reaching the kidney through hematogenous dissemination from cutaneous foci

ABSTRACT

Os autores descrevem caso de menina que aos 11 anos de idade apresentou quadro de escabiose eczematizada, acompanhada de artrite aguda aligoarticular remitente em um dia. Após 14 meses, desenvolveu quadro clássico de dermatomiosite juvenil, que cursou com pneumotórax, pneumomediastino e enfisema subcutâneo espontâneos, com acometimento infeccioso pulmonar conseqüente à terapêutica imunossupressora introduzida. Apesar do diagnóstico tardio, da rápida atividade da doença e das múltiplas intercorrências, o controle clínico-laboratorial foi conseguido, devido à corticoterapia e ao diagnóstico e tratamento precoces das complicaçöes
