ABSTRACT

El secuestro pulmonar es una malformación congénita del tracto respiratorio inferior, rara e importante. En niños y adultos suele presentarse con infecciones pulmonares a repetición o crónicas severas. Se describió un caso de una paciente de 19 años de edad que tuvo un cuadro de sepsis respiratoria bajas a repetición. En los estudios de imágenes de tórax se evidenció opacidad homogénea en hemitórax derecho. Fue intervenida quirúrgicamente; se le realizó una lobectomía inferior derecha la cual fue diagnóstica para secuestro pulmonar, con evolución satisfactoria(AU)


Pulmonary sequestration is a rare and important congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract. In children and adults, it usually presents with severe chronic or repeated lung infections. A case of a female 19-year-old patient who had recurrent lower respiratory sepsis is reported. Homogeneous opacity was evident in the chest imaging studies in the right hemithorax. She underwent surgery. A lower right lobectomy was performed, which was diagnostic for pulmonary sequestration, with satisfactory evolution(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Las malformaciones pulmonares congénitas son una causa poco frecuente de morbilidad neonatal. Algunas de ellas tienen un origen común, lo que permite identificar lesiones combinadas. Su diagnóstico puede realizarse de forma prenatal mediante ultrasonido, con las limitaciones de que solo se realiza en centros especializados y que depende de la pericia del operador. La asociación entre el secuestro pulmonar y la malformación congénita de la vía aérea se ha descrito aproximadamente en 40-60 casos desde 1949, cuando se observó por primera vez. Muchas lesiones no son perceptibles en la vida intrauterina. Sin embargo, en el periodo neonatal se presentan síntomas respiratorios recurrentes que en algunos casos están asociados con una malformación pulmonar. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de una lactante diagnosticada con secuestro pulmonar a las 24 semanas de edad gestacional. Recibió tratamiento quirúrgico intrauterino con reporte de resolución completa de la malformación en ultrasonidos posteriores. Fue valorada por neumología pediátrica a los 4 meses de edad. Se realizó una angiotomografía y se confirmó la presencia de secuestro pulmonar, por lo que se realizó una lobectomía. El estudio histopatológico reportó secuestro pulmonar extralobar con malformación congénita de la vía aérea pulmonar tipo 2. Estas lesiones combinadas se identificaron mediante un estudio histopatológico. El tratamiento de elección fue quirúrgico. Conclusiones: Ante la confirmación de una malformación, destaca la importancia de realizar la búsqueda de otras malformaciones que pudieran estar asociadas.


Abstract Introduction: Congenital pulmonary malformations are a rare cause of neonatal morbidity. Some of them have a common origin, which allows the identification of combined lesions. Its diagnosis can be made prenatally by ultrasound, with the limitation that this study is performed in specialized centers and depends on the expertise of the operator. The association of pulmonary sequestration and congenital malformation of the airway has been described in approximately 40-60 cases since its first description in 1949. Many lesions are not perceptible in intrauterine life and in the neonatal period there are recurrent respiratory symptoms that in some cases are associated with a congenital pulmonary malformation. Case report: We report the case of a young infant, who was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration at 24 weeks of gestational age, undergoing intrauterine surgical treatment with a report of complete resolution of the malformation in posterior ultrasounds. She was valued by pediatric pneumology at 4 months of age, where angiotomography was performed and the presence of pulmonary sequestration was confirmed by lobectomy. The histopathological study reported extralobar pulmonary sequestration with congenital malformation of the pulmonary airway type 2. These combined lesions were identified by histopathological study. The treatment of choice was surgical. Conclusions: Upon the confirmation of a malformation, we emphasize the importance of performing a screening in order to search for other that could be associated.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe an unusual clinical presentation of intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration in a 2-year, 9 month-old patient and assess diagnostic and treatment aspects of this pathology. Case description: An undefined intra-abdominal mass was identified in the right adrenal region in a male fetus. Postnatal evaluation with ultrasound images, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory testing was insufficient to determine the nature of the lesion. After two years, laparoscopic resection of the mass and histopathological examination of the surgical specimen allowed to establish the diagnosis of intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Comments: This malformation can be monitored clinically; however, surgical excision is often performed, probably due to the impossibility of attaining diagnosis with non-invasive methods, such as in the present case, in which the lesion appeared in an unusual position for intra-abdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Therefore, the surgical approach seems to be the key to attain the diagnosis and establish the conduct for this type of congenital malformation.


Objetivo: Descrever apresentação clínica incomum de sequestro pulmonar extralobar intra-abdominal em um paciente de dois anos e nove meses e avaliar aspectos diagnósticos e de tratamento dessa patologia. Descrição do caso: Uma massa intra-abdominal indefinida em topografia suprarrenal direita de feto masculino. A avaliação pós-natal com imagens de ultrassom, tomografia computadorizada, ressonância magnética e testes laboratoriais não foi suficiente para determinar a natureza da lesão. Após dois anos, a resseção laparoscópica da massa e o exame histopatológico do espécime cirúrgico permitiram estabelecer o diagnóstico de sequestro pulmonar extralobar intra-abdominal. Comentários: Essa malformação pode ser monitorada clinicamente; entretanto, a excisão cirúrgica frequentemente é feita, provavelmente devido à impossibilidade de diagnóstico com métodos não invasivos, como ocorreu no presente caso, na qual a lesão apresentou-se em posição não habitual para sequestro pulmonar extralobar intra-abdominal. Desse modo, a abordagem cirúrgica parece ser a chave para o diagnóstico e a condução desde tipo de malformação congênita.

ABSTRACT

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract comprising of a nonfunctioning lung tissue mass that lacks normal communication with the tracheobronchial tree. The diagnosis may be easily missed as many of the symptoms of bronchopulmonary sequestration overlap with that of other pulmonary diseases. Bronchopulmonary sequestration can be complicated by recurrent infections, hemorrhage and malignant transformation and, therefore, needs to be timely diagnosed and resected to decrease both morbidity and mortality. A high degree of suspicion in the differential diagnosis helps diagnose the positive cases. The parenchymal abnormalities associated with bronchopulmonary sequestration are best visualized using computed tomography, although their appearance is variable. We report the case of a 14 years old boy with intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration with the sole manifestation of recurrent pneumonias

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir los hallazgos clínicos de pacientes tratados por secuestro pulmonar en el Hospital de Niños Roberto del Río, entre los años 2000 y 2012. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo. Se revisaron las fichas clínicas de todos los pacientes atendidos en el Hospital entre el año 2000 y 2012 con diagnóstico de secuestro pulmonar confirmado por anatomía patológica. Resultados: Se registraron 16pacientes, 8 niños y 8 niñas. Del total 9 fueron secuestros extralobares y 7 intralobares. La sospecha diagnóstica fue por imagen de neumonía persistente en el 44 por ciento de los casos, distrés respiratorio neonatal en el 25 por ciento, ecografía antenatal en el 19 por ciento y neumonía repetida en el 12 por ciento. El 75 por ciento de los secuestros estaba ubicado en el lóbulo inferior izquierdo, el 19 por ciento en lóbulo inferior derecho y el 6 por ciento en lóbulo superior derecho. La técnica quirúrgica de elección fue la toracotomía abierta. El 56 por ciento de los pacientes se operó antes del año de vida (31,5 por ciento antes de las 2 semanas de vida). La evolución postoperatoria fue buena en el 69 por ciento de los casos, mientras que un 12,5 por ciento presentó atelectasia, 12,5 por ciento fístula broncopleural y 6 por ciento neumotórax residual. La mediana de estadía hospitalaria fue de 9 días. No se registró mortalidad. Conclusiones: Se presenta la experiencia de esta patología en el Hospital Roberto del Río enfatizándose la importancia de la sospecha diagnóstica.


Objective: To describe our experience with sixteen children treated for pulmonary sequestration at the Children 's Hospital Roberto del Rio, between 2000 and 2012. Method: We reviewed retrospectively the clinical charts of all those patients up to 15 years old, who were treated for pathologically proven pulmonary sequestration in our hospital, between 2000 and 2012. Results: Sixteen patients were recorded, 8 boys and 8 girls that were diagnosed and/or treated between the newborn period and 14 years old. Nine of them had extralobar sequestration and 7 intralobar. The diagnosis was suspected for persisting pneumonia in 44%, neonatal respiratory distress in 25%, prenatal ultrasound in 19%, and recurrent pneumonia in 12%. Seventy-five percent of sequestrations were located in the left lower lobe, 19% in the right lower lobe and 6% in the right upper lobe and all of them were operated via thoracotomy. Fifty-six percent underwent surgery before one year of age (31.5% before 2 weeks of life) and 69% of patients did well postoperatively. Postoperative atelectasis were detected in 12.5%, bronchopleural fistula in 12.5% and residual pneumothorax in 6%. The average hospital stay was 9 days and no mortality was registered. Conclusions: Our experience is similar to the previously reported series and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis in the treatment of pulmonary sequestration in children.

ABSTRACT

El secuestro pulmonar es una afección congénita que consiste en la presencia de una masa quística de tejido pulmonar afuncional que puede carecer de una obvia comunicación con el árbol traqueobronquial y recibe toda o la mayor parte de su irrigación sanguínea de vasos anómalos provenientes de la circulación sistémica. Teniendo en cuenta que la presentación de esta afección resulta rara comparada con otras afecciones pulmonares (entre 1 y 2 por ciento de todas las resecciones pulmonares) y que además lo más frecuente resulta su tratamiento definitivo antes de la edad adulta, se presenta el caso de un hombre de 44 años que acudió a consulta por presentar episodios frecuentes de neumonías desde hacía más de 10 años, que fueron diagnosticados como bronquiectasias. Se discuten los hechos más significativos del origen embriológico de esta afección, características anatomopatológicas, clasificación, diagnóstico imaginológico, detalles del tratamiento quirúrgico y evolución posoperatoria(AU)


Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital affection consisting in the presence of a cystic mass of no-functional pulmonary tissue without an obvious communication with tracheobronchial tree and that receives all or most of its bloodstream of the anomalous vessels from systemic circulation. Taking into account that presentation of this affection is rare compared to other pulmonary affections (between the 1 percent and the 2 percent of all pulmonary resections) and that also the more usual is its definitive treatment before adulthood. The case of man aged 44 is presented coming to consultation due to frequent episodes of pneumonias from more 10 years ago diagnosed as a bronchiectasis. The more significant facts of embryology origin of this affection including: anatomical and pathological features, imaging diagnosis, surgical treatment details, and postoperative course(AU)

ABSTRACT

O sequestro pulmonar é uma malformação incomum, representando 0,5-6 por cento de todas as malformações pulmonares, sendo geralmente diagnosticado na infância. Dos dois tipos de sequestro pulmonar, intralobar e extralobar, este último é o menos freqüente. O presente relato descreve o caso de um paciente do sexo feminino, de 32 anos, com quadro de dor toracoabdominal e achados de radiografia e TC de tórax revelando consolidação e derrame pleural. A conduta inicial com toracocentese evidenciou hemotórax. A seqüência diagnóstica através da videotoracoscopia permitiu o diagnóstico de sequestro extralobar e a consequente conduta de conversão para toracotomia para ressecção da lesão com ligadura segura do pedículo vascular intercostal.


Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon condition that accounts for 0.5-6 percent of all pulmonary malformations and is typically diagnosed in childhood. Of the two forms of pulmonary sequestration, intralobar and extralobar, the latter is less frequently encountered. The current report describes the case of a 32-year-old female patient with chest and abdominal pain. Imaging (chest X-rays and CT scans of the chest) revealed consolidation and pleural effusion. The initial thoracocentesis revealed hemothorax. Subsequent diagnostic video-assisted thoracoscopy revealed extralobar pulmonary sequestration. Consequently, the therapeutic decision was to make the conversion to thoracotomy in order to resect the lesion and safely ligate the intercostal vascular pedicle.

ABSTRACT

Uma paciente com seqüestro pulmonar e variação anatômica da veia do lobo médio, que drenava diretamente na veiapulmonar inferior, foi submetida a lobectomia inferior direita. Nem sempre os cirurgiões estão atentos a esta possibilidade.Geralmente, a veia pulmonar inferior é ligada e seccionada, sem a necessária atenção quanto às suas tributárias. A identificação da variação anatômica, pelos métodos de imagem, como a tomografia computadorizada e a angiorressonância do tórax, é muito importante, pois a ligadura inadvertida da veia pulmonar inferior causa o bloqueio da drenagem venosa do lobo médio para o lobo inferior. O conhecimento da freqüência dos diferentes tipos de drenagem venosa é importante para os cirurgiões que realizam ressecções pulmonares.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar retrospectivamente os prontuários de pacientes com malformações pulmonares submetidos a tratamento operatório e verificar a evolução clínica até o diagnóstico definitivo. MÉTODOS:Analisamos os prontuários dos pacientes com malformações pulmonares operados no Hospital São Paulo-Universidade Federal de São Paulo/Escola Paulista de Medicina-de 1969 a 2004. Cada prontuário foi analisado quanto aos seguintes aspectos: quadro clínico, diagnóstico, tratamento prévio, tratamento operatório e complicações hospitalares. Os critérios de inclusão foram os seguintes: ter diagnóstico de malformação pulmonar, ter sido submetido à ressecção pulmonar e ter prontuário com dados completos. RESULTADOS: A análise dos prontuários revelou que 60 pacientes com diagnóstico de malformações pulmonares foram operados-27 casos de cisto broncogênico, 14 de ensifema lobar congênito, 10 de seqüestro pulmonar e 9 de malformação adenomatóide cística. A idade variou de 4 dias a 62 anos (média de 17,9 anos). Houve predominância do sexo masculino (55 por cento). Noventa e dois por cento dos pacientes apresentavam sintomas (média de duração, 15,37 meses). Dos 60 pacientes operados, 27 (45 por cento) receberam tratamento domiciliar ou hospitalar com antibiótico antes da operação. Quanto às complicações, observamos morbidade de 23 por cento e mortalidade de 3,3 por cento. A duração dos procedimentos operatórios realizados em nossos pacientes variou de 1 a 8 h (média, 3,2 h). CONCLUSÕES: A falha ou atraso no diagnóstico das malformações pulmonares resultou em tratamentos e hospitalizações desnecessárias e em complicações infecciosas recorrentes e freqüentes. Acreditamos que o tratamento definitivo é a operação, a qual é curativa e tem baixa morbidade e mortalidade.


OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the medical charts of patients with pulmonary malformations submitted to surgical treatment and to investigate the clinical evolution prior to the definitive diagnosis. METHODS: We analyzed the medical charts of patients with pulmonary malformations operated on at the São Paulo Hospital-Federal University of São Paulo/Paulista School of Medicine-from 1969 to 2004. Each medical chart was analyzed as to the following aspects: clinical profile; diagnosis; previous treatment; surgical treatment; and nosocomial complications. The inclusion criteria were having received a diagnosis of pulmonary malformation, having undergone pulmonary resection, and chart data being complete. RESULTS: The analysis of the medical charts revealed that 60 patients diagnosed with pulmonary malformations-27 cases of bronchogenic cyst, 14 cases of congenital lobar emphysema, 10 cases of pulmonary sequestration, and 9 cases of cystic adenomatoid malformation-underwent surgery. Ages ranged from 4 days to 62 years (mean, 17.9 years). There was a predominance of males (55 percent). Ninety-two percent of the patients presented symptoms (mean duration: 15.37 months). Of the 60 patients undergoing surgery, 27 (45 percent) received preoperative home or hospital treatment with antibiotics. Regarding complications, we observed that morbidity was 23 percent, and mortality was 3.3 percent. Surgical times ranged from 1 to 8 h (mean, 3.2 h). CONCLUSIONS: Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of pulmonary malformations resulted in unnecessary treatments and hospitalizations, as well as in frequent, recurrent infectious complications. We believe that the definitive treatment is surgery, which is curative and has low morbidity and mortality rates.

ABSTRACT

Esophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, bronchopulmonary malformations and cystic lung diseases are the common neonatal thoracic surgical lesions encountered in practice. The availability of antenatal ultrasonography has lead to these lesions being detected before birth. Antenatal diagnosis can be made with a fair degree of accuracy in tertiary fetal medicine centres. Antenatal intervention is limited in a very few centres in the western world and not being done in India at present. The outcome of these babies with antenatal diagnosis of thoracic lesions has changed in the last decade. Earlier intervention is now possible in cystic lung disease before infectious complication has set in. All these lesions are managed exclusively in well developed neonatal surgery units with excellent outcome in the western world. The present study reviews the antenatal detection, clinical presentation, interventional/surgical procedures [antenatally and postnatally] and outcome of these common neonatal thoracic surgical lesions.

ABSTRACT

Background: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation, charactarized by an abnormal segment of bronchopulmonary tisue, irrigated by an anomalous systemic artery. Objective: To report the clinical course of an infant with an intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration and review the most relevant aspects of this lung malformation. Case-report: A six months-old infant, treated for a pneumonia involving the right lower lobe, with persistence of the consolidation image for more than six weeks. Because of a computed tomography (CT) that showed an image suggesting a bronchopulmonay sequestration, the infant was scheduled for surgery, confirming the presence of the intralobar type of the malformation, which was removed without incidents. Conclusion: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung malformation, but it has to be considered in the presence of recurrent pneumonia or persisting consolidation images.


Introducción: El secuestro pulmonar es una malformación congénita poco frecuente, caracterizada por un segmento anormal de tejido broncopulmonar irrigado por una arteria anómala de origen sistémico. Objetivo: Presentar el caso de un lactante menor con un secuestro pulmonar intralobar y revisar los aspectos más relevantes de este tipo de malformación congénita. Caso Clínico: Lactante menor de 6 meses de edad, tratada por una neumonia del lóbulo inferior izquierdo, con persistencia de la imagen de condensación por más de 6 semanas. Por este motivo se le realizó una Tomografía axial computada (TAC) que mostró una imagen sugerente de secuestro pulmonar, por lo que fue sometida a cirugía, corroborándose la variedad intralobar de esta malformación, la cual fue resecada sin inconvenientes. Conclusiones: El secuestro pulmonar es una malformación congénita poco frecuente, pero que se debe considerar ante la presencia de neumonías recurrentes o imágenes de condensación persistentes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El pulmón esofágico es una malformación congénita muy infrecuente que se produce por una alteración en el desarrollo normal del intestino anterior. Consiste en la presencia de tejido pulmonar conectado con el esófago. Clínicamente se puede manifestar como neumonías recurrentes, dificultad respiratoria o disnea que aparece junto con la alimentación. Objetivo: Reportar el primer paciente portador de esta malformación tratado en nuestra institución. Caso Clínico: Lactante masculino, 4 meses de edad, con neumonías recurrentes del lóbulo superior derecho. El estudio con imágenes y endoscopía, confirmó la presencia de un pulmón supernumerario que estaba comunicado con el tercio medio del esófago. El paciente fue sometido a una resección quirúrgica de la malformación. Evoluciona favorablemente con mejoría de sintomatología. Conclusión: El pulmón esofágico es una malformación poco frecuente que debe ser sospechada en pacientes con sintomatología respiratoria recurrente. El estudio con imágenes y endoscopía permite precisar el diagnóstico.

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary sequestrations are defined by the presence of a non functional pulmonary parenchyma with an abnormal vascularisation. Their incidence ranges from 1.1% to 1.8% of all the malformations in the general population. Two types of sequestrations are described: - Intralobar sequestrations: the most common, localised within a normal parenchyma. - Extralobar sequestrations: totally separate from the lung with their own pleural covering. We report two cases of sequestrations. In the first case, the radioclinical presentation was strongly suggestive of this diagnosis in a 32 - year old woman with recurrent hemoptysis, airspace opacity in the left retrocardiac region and a systemic vascularisation of this mass on tomodensitometry. Pathological studies after surgery confirmed the diagnosis of intralobar sequestration type I in the classification of PRYCE. In the second case a thoracoscopy performed on a 14 - year-old boy who had a serohematic pleural effusion, revealed a left costodiaphragmatic mass. Surgical removal of this mass confirmed its extralobar pulmonary nature

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El secuestro pulmonar, malformación congénita caracterizada por tejido pulmonar embrionario quístico no funcionantecon vascularización de una arteria sistémica anómala, es poco conocido por su baja incidencia. Se clasifican en intralobares (75 por ciento) y extralobares (25 por ciento). Son frecuentes a izquierda y en lóbulos inferiores (60 por ciento- 90 por ciento). La mayoría presenta neumopatías inflamatorias repetidas en un mismo lugar. Objetivo: Describir características de secuestros pulmonares operados. Material y Método: Estudio descriptivo-retrospectivo. Período enero 1988 - junio 2003. La información se obtuvo de fichas clínicas y registro de biopsias. Se describen edad, sexo, características clínicas, métodos diagnósticos, tratamiento quirúrgico, evolución y hallazgos anatomopatológicos. Resultados: Total 8 pacientes, 6 mujeres y 2 hombres. Edad promedio 22 años, rango: 2-63, mediana: 14. La presentación fue procesos infecciosos en 5 casos, desgarro hemoptoico en 1 y 2 pacientes asintomáticos. Los síntomas y signos son inespecíficos. Uno presento otra malformación congénita. La radiografía y la tomografía axial computada presentaron imágenes inespecíficas. En 1 caso se realizó aortografía. Se planteó diagnóstico preoperatorio en 3 pacientes. el pulmón y los lóbulos más afectados fueron derechos e inferiores respectivamente. el intralobar fue más frecuente en 7 casos. Se realizó lobectomía con identificación del vaso sistémico, que se originó en aorta torácica con más frecuencia y fue único en todos. No hubo morbimortalidad. En el seguimiento están todos asintomáticos. Conclusión y Discusión: Los secuestros pulmonares son infrecuentes, se presentan generalmente en jóvenes como neumopatías inflamatorias a repetición y tienen excelente pronóstico postoperatorio.
