ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is the most significant complication after salvage total laryngectomy in patients who have received previous treatment with radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Objective: Our purpose is to review the fistula rate in radiated patients undergoing salvage total laryngectomy, to determine if the use of pectoralis major flap interposition reduces the incidence and duration of fistula and to examine other risk factors. Methods: We made a retrospective review of patients undergoing salvage total laryngectomy for exclusively larynx cancer after failure of primary curative radiotherapy between 2000 and 2017. General data from patients, risk factors and other complications were analyzed. Results: We identified 27 patients whose mean age was 66.4 years, mainly male (92.5%). The primary closure group without pectoralis major flap included 14 patients, and the group with pectoralis major flap closure included 13 patients. Pharyngocutaneous fistula was present in 15 patients (55.5%). Global pharyngocutaneous fistula rate was higher in the group of patients without pectoralis major flap comparing with those were the flap was interposed (78.6% versus 30.8%, p = 0.047). Also the pharyngocutaneous fistulas which need to be repaired with surgery (64.3% versus 7.7%, p = 0.03) and large pharyngostomes (64.3% versus 0%, p = 0.0004) were present in a higher rate in the group closed primary without pectoralis major flap. We did not find other risk factors with statistical significance. Oral diet initiation (84 days versus 21.5 days, p = 0.039) and the duration of hospitalization (98.3 days versus 27.2 days, p = 0.0041) were much lower in patients with a preventive pectoralis major flap. Two patients died as a consequence of complications of large pharyngostomes. Conclusions: Prophylactic pectoralis major flap reduced the incidence, severity and duration of fistula and should be considered during salvage total laryngectomy.


Resumo Introdução: A fístula faringocutânea é a complicação mais significativa após laringectomia total de resgate em pacientes que receberam tratamento prévio com radioterapia com ou sem quimioterapia. Objetivo: Revisar a taxa de fístula em pacientes irradiados submetidos a laringectomia total de resgate, para determinar se o uso de interposição de retalho do peitoral maior reduz a incidência e a duração da fístula e examinar outros fatores de risco. Método: Fizemos uma revisão retrospectiva de pacientes submetidos à laringectomia total de resgate para câncer exclusivamente laríngeo após falha da radioterapia curativa primária entre 2000 e 2017. Dados gerais dos pacientes, fatores de risco e outras complicações foram analisados. Resultados: Foram identificados 27 pacientes com média de 66,4 anos, principalmente do sexo masculino (92,5%). O grupo de fechamento primário sem retalho de peitoral maior incluiu 14 pacientes e o grupo de fechamento com retalho de peitoral maior incluiu 13 pacientes. Fístula faringocutânea esteve presente em 15 pacientes (55,5%). A taxa global de fístula faringocutânea foi maior no grupo de pacientes sem retalho de peitoral maior em comparação com aqueles que receberam o retalho (78,6% vs. 30,8%, p = 0,047). Além disso, as fístulas faringocutâneas que precisaram ser reparadas através de cirurgia (64,3% vs. 7,7%, p = 0,03) e grandes faringostomias (64,3% vs. 0%, p = 0,0004) apresentaram uma taxa mais alta no grupo fechado primariamente sem retalho do peitoral maior. Não encontramos outros fatores de risco com significância estatística. O início da dieta oral (84 dias vs. 21,5 dias, p = 0,039) e a duração da internação (98,3 dias vs. 27,2 dias, p = 0,0041) foram muito menores nos pacientes com uso preventivo do retalho do peitoral maior. Dois pacientes morreram em consequência de complicações de grandes faringostomias. Conclusões: O uso profilático do retalho do peitoral maior reduziu a incidência, a gravidade e a duração da fístula e deve ser considerado durante a laringectomia total de resgate.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: The pectoralis major flap is a reconstructive option to consider in the treatment of pharyngocutaneous fistula after a total laryngectomy. There are not large studies assessing variables related to pharyngocutaneous fistula recurrence after removal of the larynx. Our objectives were to review the results obtained with this type of treatment when pharyngocutaneous fistula appears in laryngectomized patients, and to evaluate variables related to the results. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our results using either a myocutaneous or fasciomuscular pectoralis major flap to repair pharyngocutaneous fistula in 50 patients. Results: There were no cases of flap necrosis. Oral intake after fistula repair with a pectoralis major flap was restored in 94% of cases. Fistula recurrence occurred in 22 cases (44%), and it was associated with a lengthening of the hospital stay. Performing the flap as an emergency procedure was associated with a significantly higher risk of fistula recurrence. Hospital stay was significantly shorter when a salivary tube was placed. Conclusions: The pectoralis major flap is a useful approach to repair pharyngocutaneous fistula. Placing salivary tubes during fistula repair significantly reduces hospital stay and complication severity in case of pharyngocutaneous fistula recurrence.


Resumo Introdução: O retalho do músculo peitoral maior é uma opção a ser considerada no fechamento de fístula faringocutânea pós-laringectomia total. Não há grandes estudos que avaliem as variáveis relacionadas à recorrência da fístula faringocutânea após esse procedimento. Nossos objetivos foram avaliar os resultados obtidos com esse tipo de tratamento em pacientes laringectomizados com fístula faringocutânea e as variáveis relacionadas aos resultados. Método: Revisamos retrospectivamente os nossos resultados em 50 pacientes nos quais um retalho miocutâneo ou fasciomuscular do músculo peitoral maior foram utilizados para reparar a fístula faringocutânea. Resultados: Não houve casos de necrose de retalho. Após o reparo da fístula com um retalho do músculo peitoral maior, a ingestão oral foi restaurada em 94% dos casos. Houve recorrência da fístula em 22 casos (44%), a qual foi associada à duração da hospitalização. O uso do retalho como procedimento de emergência foi associado a um risco significativamente maior de recorrência da fístula. A permanência hospitalar foi significativamente menor quando utilizado um tubo de derivação salivar. Conclusões: O uso do retalho do músculo peitoral maior é uma abordagem útil para reparar a fístula faringocutânea. A colocação de tubos de derivação salivar durante o reparo da fístula reduz significativamente o tempo de hospitalização e a gravidade das complicações em caso de recorrência da fístula faringocutânea.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de una paciente mujer de 53 años procedente de Piura con un tiempo de enfermedad de 20 meses, caracterizado por dolor en sitio de herida quirúrgica por colecistectomía abierta realizada hace 3 años, asociado a presencia de una masa en dicha zona, posteriormente se absceda y comienza a drenar secreción alimentaria. Los estudios de imágenes revelaron una masa dependiente de colon transverso en contacto con estómago y pared abdominal que presentaba fistulas hacia piel. Dicha masa fue extraída durante la cirugía con resultado anatomopatológico de adenocarcinoma mucinoso de colon. El caso representó un reto diagnóstico para el equipo médico y en vista de las diversas manifestaciones clínicas del cáncer de colon, sugerimos mantenerlo presente como diagnóstico diferencial en cuadros de absceso de pared abdominal y fistulizaciones entéricas.


We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with a time of illness of 20 months, characterized by pain at the site of surgical intervention for opened cholecystectomy 3 years ago, associated with a presence of a mass in said area, with the following abscess formation and fistulization of food content. Imaging studies revealed a mass dependent of the transverse colon, in contact with stomach and abdominal wall and presenting fistulas to the skin. Said mass was extracted during surgery with anatomopathological result of mucinous colon adenocarcinoma. The case represented a diagnostic challenge for the medical team and in view of the variaty of clinical manifestations of colonic cancer, we suggest that it should be consider as a differential diagnosis in cases of abdominal wall abscess and enteric fistulas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The development of a tubocutaneous fistula due to endometriosis in a post-cesarean section surgical scar is a rare complication that generates significant morbidity in the affected women. Surgery is the treatment of choice in these cases. Hormonal therapies may lead to an improvement in symptoms, but do not eradicate such lesions. In this report, we present a 34-year-old patient with a cutaneous fistula in the left iliac fossa with cyclic secretion. Anamnesis, a physical examination, and supplementary tests led us to suggest endometriosis as the main diagnosis, which was confirmed after surgical intervention.


RESUMO O desenvolvimento de fístula tubocutânea secundária à endometriose em cicatriz cirúrgica após cesariana é uma complicação rara, que gera importante morbidade às mulheres acometidas. A cirurgia é o tratamento de escolha nesses casos. Terapias hormonais podem conduzir a uma melhora dos sintomas, mas, de forma alguma, levam à erradicação de tais lesões. No presente relato, temos uma paciente de 34 anos de idade que apresentava uma fístula cutânea em fossa ilíaca esquerda com secreção cíclica. Anamnese, exame físico e exames complementares nos levaram a aventar como principal hipótese diagnóstica a endometriose, que foi confirmada após intervenção cirúrgica.

ABSTRACT

El traqueostoma persistente es la complicación tardía más frecuente asociada al uso de traqueostomía. Se reportan tres casos de pacientes que se les realizó un cierre exitoso del traqueostoma persistente mediante técnica de cierre primario por planos con colgajo invertido. Las ventajas del método utilizado son que representa una alternativa simple, susceptible de realizar con anestesia local y de manera ambulatoria, con excelentes resultados estéticos, mejorando significativamente la calidad de vida de estos pacientes.


Persistent tracheostoma is the most common late complication associated with the use of tracheostomy. We report three cases in which patients underwent a successful closure of persistent tracheostoma using primary closure in layers with inverted flap technique. The advantages of this method are that it represents a simple alternative and is able to be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis, with excellent aesthetic results, significantly improving the quality of life of these patients.

ABSTRACT

Los quistes branquiales de primer arco son una malformación congénita de baja frecuencia. Se desarrollan por la fusión incompleta de la hendidura faríngea entre el primer y el segundo arco branquial. Pueden permanecer silentes por mucho tiempo y manifestarse cuando se sobreinfectan, causando significativa morbilidad. Por lo general, se presentan en la infancia, pero muchas veces su diagnóstico es tardío ya que son difíciles de diferenciar de adenopatías u otras masas, debiendo ser considerados dentro del diagnóstico diferencial de masa cervical y parotídea, especialmente en pacientes jóvenes. La cirugía es el tratamiento definitivo, requiriendo una escisión completa del quiste y su trayecto fistuloso para evitar las recurrencias. Debido a su localización intra-parotídea y complejidad morfológica, es necesario conocer la anatomía en detalle para evitar lesionar el nervio facial. En esta revisión, se pretende presentar las características clínicas y resultados quirúrgicos en una paciente lactante con diagnóstico de quiste de primer arco, asícomo efectuar una revisión de la literatura.


First branchial arch cysts are very infrequent congenital malformations. Their development is due to an incomplete fusion of the pharyngeal cleft between the first and second branchial arch. They can remain silent for a very long time and manifest when they become infected, causing significant morbidity. In general, they present in child-hood, but many times its diagnosis occurs on a late onset since they are difficult to differentiate from lymphadenopathies or other masses. So, they should be considered on the differential diagnosis of cervical and parotid masses, especially in young patients. Surgery is its definitive treatment. Complete excision of the cyst and its fistula must be performed to avoid recurrences. Due to its intraparotid localization and morphological complexity it is necessary to understand the anatomy in detail to avoid facial nerve le-sions. In this revision, we aim to present clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes in an infant with the diagnosis of first branchial arch cyst and to review the literature.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACTKidney disease presenting with cutaneous fistula is a rare condition. We present a case of a 90-year-old woman with dementia who had no prior urological problems and had a cutaneous fistula in the left lumbar region. A fistulogram and computer tomography examination revealed a large staghorn calculus with signs of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in the left kidney and renal fistulisation to the psoas muscle, skin and bronchi. To our knowledge this is the first report in the literature of coexisting renal fistulisation to the psoas major muscle, skin and bronchi. This report illustrates how computed tomography in combination with fistulography can resolve the diagnostic dilemma that pertains to the complex spread of the disease in cases involving nephrocutaneous fistula. Furthermore, the report shows how a renal calculus, even asymptomatic, can cause a serious medical condition, and highlights the importance of early medical intervention.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Pharyngocutaneous fistula after larynx and hypopharynx cancer surgery can cause several damages. This study's aim was to derive a clinical decision rule to predict pharyngocutaneous fistula development after pharyngolaryngeal cancer surgery.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including all patients performing total laryngectomy/pharyngolaryngectomy (n = 171). Association between pertinent variables and pharyngocutaneous fistula development was assessed and a predictive model proposed.RESULTS: American Society of Anesthesiologists scale, chemoradiotherapy, and tracheotomy before surgery were associated with fistula in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis, only American Society of Anesthesiologists maintained statistical significance. Using logistic regression, a predictive model including the following was derived: American Society of Anesthesiologists, alcohol, chemoradiotherapy, tracheotomy, hemoglobin and albumin pre-surgery, local extension, N-classification, and diabetes mellitus. The model's score area under the curve was 0.76 (95% CI 0.64-0.87). The high-risk group presented specificity of 93%, positive likelihood ratio of 7.10, and positive predictive value of 76%. Including the medium-low, medium-high, and high-risk groups, a sensitivity of 92%, negative likelihood ratio of 0.25, and negative predictive value of 89% were observed.CONCLUSION: A clinical decision rule was created to identify patients with high risk of pharyngocutaneous fistula development. Prognostic accuracy measures were substantial. Nevertheless, it is essential to conduct larger prospective studies for validation and refinement.


INTRODUÇÃO: Fístula faringocutânea após cirurgia de câncer de laringe e hipofaringe causa diversos danos. Nosso objetivo foi derivar uma regra de decisão clínica (RDC) para predizer o desenvolvimento da fístula faringocutânea após cirurgia.MÉTODO: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo incluindo todos os pacientes submetidos à laringectomia total e faringolaringectomia (n = 171). Analisou-se a associação entre as variáveis pertinentes e o desenvolvimento da fístula e foi proposto um modelo preditivo.RESULTADOS: Na análise univariada, a ASA, quimioradioterapia (QRT) e traqueostomia antes da cirurgia foram associadas à fístula. Na análise multivariada, somente a ASA manteve-se estatisticamente significante. Por regressão logística, derivamos um modelo preditivo incluindo: ASA, álcool, QRT, traqueostomia, hemoglobina e albumina pré-operatórias, extensão local, N, DM. A curva ROC do modelo foi 0,76 (95% CI 0,64−0,87). O grupo de alto risco teve especificidade 93%, Likelihood positivo 7,10 e valor preditivo positivo 76%. Incluindo os grupos de médio baixo, médio alto e alto risco, temos sensibilidade de 92%, Likelihood negativo 0,25 e valor preditivo positivo 89%.CONCLUSÃO: Criamos uma RDC para identificar os pacientes de alto risco ao desenvolvimento da fístula faringocutânea. As medidas de acurácia prognóstica foram substanciais. Entretanto, é essencial conduzir estudos prospectivos maiores para validação/refinamento do modelo.

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas odontogénicas son canalizaciones anormales originadas a partir de procesos infecciosos de los ápices radiculares, las cuales puede adoptar distintas morfologías en piel. Se presenta el caso de hombre de 40 años, con una lesión en mejilla derecha de 2 años de evolución. El estado de las piezas dentarias, a la inspección, era deficiente. Debido a la sospecha clínica, se solicitó una ecografía de partes blandas que fue compatible con una fístula odontogénica. Estas lesiones, muchas veces son subdiagnosticadas, lo cual limita y retrasa el tratamiento adecuado.


Odontogenic cutaneous sinus are abnormal tracts originated from infectious processes of the root canal, which can show different morphologies on the skin. We present a 40 year old man, who had a lesion on his right cheek of 2 years of duration. The tooth pieces were compromised. Due to the clinical suspicion, a soft tissue ultrasound was requested which result was consistent with odontogenic cutaneous sinus. These injuries are often underdiagnosed, limiting and delaying a proper treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Fístula faringocutânea é uma das maiores complicações pós-operatórias de laringectomia total e faringolaringectomia, podendo causar graves efeitos adversos ao paciente e à sociedade. Nosso objetivo é identificar todos os fatores preditivos e as classificações do risco descrito para a formação da fístula. Método: Pesquisa racional foi realizada para identificação de todos os estudos sobre fatores preditivos e classificações/probabilidade de risco ao desenvolvimento da fistula faringocutânea, publicados até abril de 2012 (n = 846). Os estudos incluídos foram analisados e os dados, a identificação, a qualidade metodológica e os resultados foram registrados. Resultados: Um total de 39 estudos foi incluído. As variáveis relacionadas foram deficiência nutricional, ASA, alto consumo de álcool, anemia e hipoalbuminemia, comorbilidades, N avançado, localização/extensão do tumor primário, tratamentos pré- cirúrgicos radioterapia/ quimioradioterapia, traqueostomia de emergência, status das margens cirúrgicas, duração da cirurgia, experiência do cirurgião, complicações locais da ferida cirúrgica, transfusão de sangue intraoperatória e relação entre sonda nasogástrica e alimentação oral. Conclusão: Nos estudos, muitos fatores de risco são associados ao desenvolvimento da fístula faringocutânea. Entretanto, ainda não existe um consenso sobre a seleção dos fatores mais influentes. Foram encontrados somente dois sistemas de classificações de riscos, e nenhum deles foi preditivo do desenvolvimento da fístula faringocutânea. .


Objective: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is considered one of the major complications in the postoperative period after total laryngectomy/pharyngolaryngectomy, leading to a severe adverse impact for the patient and society. This study aimed to identify all the described pharyngocutaneous fistula predictive factors and risk classifications. Methods: Research was conducted to identify all the studies assessing predictive factors and risk classification for pharyngocutaneous fistula development published until April of 2012 (n = 846). The included studies were analyzed and data regarding their identification, methodological quality and results were recorded. Results: A total of 39 studies were included. The variables consistently reported as associated with fistula development were nutritional deficiency, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, high consumption of alcohol, anemia and hypoalbuminemia, co-morbidities, advanced N stage, location and extent of primary tumor, pre-radiotherapy and pre-chemoradiotherapy treatment, emergency tracheotomy, surgical margin status, surgery's duration, surgeon's experience, local complications of the wound, performance of intraoperative blood transfusion and relationship between nasogastric tube and oral feeding. Conclusion: Several risk factors were associated with pharyngocutaneous fistula formation in the included studies. However, there is still no consensus in the most pertinent selection. Only two classification systems were retrieved and they were not able to accurately predict pharyngocutaneous fistula. .

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incidência de fístula faringocutânea após laringectomia total e tentar identificar os fatores preditores. MÉTODOS: No período de maio de 2005 a abril de 2010, 93 pacientes foram submetidos à laringectomia total. Foram avaliadas as complicações per e pós-operatórias e comparadas com as seguintes variáveis: sexo, estado nutricional, traqueostomia prévia, localização do tumor primário, tipo de operação realizada, estadiamento de acordo com o TNM, tratamento prévio com quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia, utilização de retalhos para reconstrução e margem cirúrgica. Todos os pacientes apresentavam a neoplasia em estádio avançado segundo o TNM. RESULTADOS: 14 (15,1%) pacientes evoluíram com fístula salivar no pós-operatório. O tempo médio de aparecimento da fístula salivar foi 3,5 dias, com desvio padrão de 13,7 dias. Comparando a fístula salivar com as variáveis TNM, tipo de operação e esvaziamento cervical, traqueostomia prévia, utilização de retalho miocutâneo, rádio e quimioterapia pré-operatória e margem cirúrgica, não foi observado diferença estatisticamente significativa (p>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A incidência de fístula salivar foi 15,1% e não foi encontrado fator preditor para sua formação.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy and try to identify its predictors. METHODS: From May 2005 to April 2010, 93 patients underwent total laryngectomy. We evaluated complications during and after surgery and compared them with the following variables: gender, nutritional status, previous tracheotomy, tumor location, type of surgery, TNM staging, prior treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, use of flaps for reconstruction and surgical margin. All patients presented with advanced neoplastic disease according to TNM. RESULTS: 14 (15.1%) patients developed postoperative salivary fistula. The mean time to onset of salivary fistula was 3.5 days, with a standard deviation of 13.7 days. Comparing salivary fistula with TNM variables, type of operation and neck dissection, prior tracheotomy, use of flap, preoperative radio and chemotherapy and surgical margin, there was no statistically significant difference (p> 0,05). CONCLUSION: The incidence of salivary fistula was 15.1% and no predictive factor for its formation was found.

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas gastrointestinales asociadas con abdomen abierto posterior a cirugía abdominal mayor son una complicación grave. El manejo es extremadamente difícil y la mortalidad bastante alta a pesar de los modernos avances médicos. Aquellos pacientes que sobreviven al daño metabólico y fisiopatológico inicial, requieren en su mayoría cierre quirúrgico de la fístula lo cual es técnicamente complejo. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una neoplasia de rectosigma que se abordó por laparoscopia y desarrolló una fístula enteroatmosférica sobre la incisión de Pfannestiel que se utilizó para la extracción de la pieza. Conclusión: El cierre asistido por vacío artesanal y el manejo nutricional adecuado permiten la mejoría en pacientes con fístulas complejas logrando las condiciones adecuadas para el cierre definitivo.


The gastrointestinal fistula associated to posterior open abdominal trauma or abdominal surgery implies severe complications. The handling of these cases is extremely hard and mortality is very high despite medical advances. Those patients who survive the initial metabolic and phisycopathological damages require, on most cases, a surgical closure of the fistula which is a very complex procedure technically. We describe the case of a patient with a rectosigmoid neoplasm that was addressed laparoscopically and enteroatmospheric fistula just developing on phannestiel incision was used to extract the neoplasm. Conclusion: The closure assisted by “hand made vacuum” and adequate nourishment allows recovering patients with complex fistulas to achieve adequate conditions for definitive closure.

ABSTRACT

A fístula faringocutânea (FFC) é a complicação mais comum após a laringectomia total. OBJETIVOS: Estabelecer a incidência dessa complicação e analisar seus fatores predisponentes. MÉTODO: Este estudo é uma coorte histórica transversal que incluiu 94 pacientes submetidos à laringectomia total. Os seguintes aspectos foram relacionados ao surgimento de FFC: gênero, idade, sítio do tumor, estadiamento patológico conforme o TNM, o tipo de esvaziamento cervical realizado, radioterapia e traqueostomia prévias e o uso de grampeador para fechamento faríngeo. Nos casos de FFC, considerou-se o dia pós-operatório de seu diagnóstico, duração e abordagem terapêutica. RESULTADOS: FFC foi diagnosticada em 20 pacientes (21,3%). Houve incidência significativamente maior na de FFC no estadiamento T4 comparado com T2/T3 (p = 0,03). Os demais aspectos não apresentaram diferença estatística. Entretanto, 40,9% dos pacientes que se submeteram à traqueostomia prévia desenvolveram fístula, contra 21,1% dos pacientes fora dessa condição. CONCLUSÕES: Estadiamento avançado do tumor primário é um fator prognóstico para FFC.


Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication after total laryngectomy. OBJECTIVES: To establish the incidence of this complication and to analyze the predisposing factors. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional study of a historical cohort including 94 patients who underwent total laryngectomy. The following aspects were correlated to the occurrence of PCF: gender, age, tumor site, TNM staging, type of neck dissection, previous radiation therapy, previous tracheotomy, and use of stapler for pharyngeal closure. The following were considered in PCF cases: the day into postoperative care when the fistula was diagnosed, duration of occurrence, and proposed treatment. RESULTS: Twenty (21.3%) patients had PCF. The incidence of PCF was statistically higher in T4 tumors when compared to T2 and T3 neoplasms (p = 0.03). The other analyzed correlations were not statistically significant. However, 40.9% of the patients submitted to tracheostomy previously had fistulae, against 21.1% of the patients not submitted to this procedure. CONCLUSION: Advanced primary tumor staging is correlated with higher incidences of PCF.

ABSTRACT

Orocutaneous fistulas or cutaneous sinus, a tract of dental origin, is an uncommon but welldocumented condition that usually requires emergency treatment. Such condition may be misdiagnosed by physicians and dentists and may sometimes be confused with bone and skin tumor, osteomyelitis, congenital fistula, salivary gland fistula, pyogenic granuloma, infected cyst, deep mycotic infection, and other pathologies. A case of facial sinus tract that was initially misdiagnosed by a physician as a nonodontogenic lesion is presented. Nonsurgical endodontic therapy was the treatment of choice for this case. Facial cutaneous sinus tracts must be considered of dental origin. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment minimize patient discomfort and esthetic problems, reducing the possibility of further complications such as sepsis and osteomyelitis.


A fístula orocutânea de origem dentária é uma condição incomum, bem documentada e geralmente requer tratamento de urgência. Esta condição pode ser confundida por médicos e dentistas com lesões ósseas, de pele, nas glândulas salivares, osteomielite, granuloma piogênico, cisto infectado, infecção fúngica, entre outras. Um caso de fístula facial que foi inicialmente diagnosticado por um médico como uma lesão não-odontogênica é apresentado e discutido. O tratamento de escolha foi a endodontia do dente envolvido, sem necessidade de cirurgia. A possibilidade de infecção dentária deve ser considerada em casos de fístula cutânea na região orofacial. O diagnóstico precoce e tratamento imediato podem minimizar o desconforto do paciente e problemas estéticos, além de reduzir a possibilidade de outras complicações, como osteomielite e sepse.

ABSTRACT

La fístula cutánea dental es una patología de difícil diagnóstico. Se presenta como una lesión supurativa crónica e indolora, cuya localización no siempre guarda relación con la pieza dental afectada. Su diagnóstico requiere un alto índice de sospecha, que habitualmente se confirma con radiografía. Se presentan seis casos que se manifestaron con lesiones de larga evolución, con supuración intermitente y apariencia clínica variable. A todos se les realizó ecografía de partes blandas para demostrar el trayecto fistuloso. Para determinar la localización del foco osteomielítico, a dos pacientes se les solicitó además una tomografía axial computada y a otros dos una radiografía periapical. La mayoría de las fístulas tuvo su origen en la arcada dental inferior.


Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract is a condition difficult to diagnose. It appears as a painless, chronic suppurative lesion, with a location not always related to the affected tooth. Its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, usually confirmed by radiography. We report six cases, all of them presenting with long lasting lesions, with intermittent drainage and variable clinical appearance. An ultrasonography was done in every patient, in order to demonstrate the sinus tract. To determine the location of the osteomyelitic focus, in two patients a computed tomography was done, and in other two a periapical radiography. Most sinus tracts were originated in the lower dental arch.

ABSTRACT

Pacientes com ferimentos penetrantes plantares com presença de corpo estranho são atendidos em serviços de emergência, clínicas ortopédicas e dermatológicas. As características clínicas dessas lesões são pouco citadas em periódicos e livros textos dermatológicos. Relatamos um caso de corpo estranho plantar em que a história clínica e o exame dermatológico foram decisivos para o diagnóstico.


Patients presenting with plantar puncture wounds with presence of foreign bodies are treated in emergency departments, dermatology and orthopedic clinics. The clinical features of these lesions are rarely cited in journals and textbooks of dermatology. We report a case of foreign body in the plantar surface of the foot, in which clinical history and dermatological examination were decisive for the diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las fístulas colocutáneas representan una patología grave que requiere un tratamiento complejo e intervención multidisciplinaria adaptada a cada caso en particular. Los objetivos de esta presentación son evaluar la factibilidad de la utilización de un método no quirúrgico de tratamiento de esta patología, el tiempo de cierre parietal y la restitución de la ingesta. Diseño: presentación de casos. Pacientes y método: Durante el período comprendido entre el 1 de enero de 2007 y el 30 de abril de 2009 se trataron con sistema de vacío y compactación 9 pacientes con fístulas colocutáneas, 3 hombres y 6 mujeres. La media etaria fue de 55 años con un rango entre 18 y 73. El método se aplicó tanto en el ámbito privado como en el hospitalario. El tratamiento quirúrgico definitivo de esta patología será motivo de otra presentación. Resultados: la aplicación de un método conservador y la oportunidad quirúrgica dependen inicialmente del estado general del paciente y de la forma de presentación de la fístula. En aquellos casos en que se decide el tratamiento quirúrgico como primera opción debe priorizarse el cierre abdominal seguro ya que es clave para evitar la recidiva de la fístula. La mortalidad global continúa elevada en pacientes fistulizados con factores agravantes. Se logro el cierre de la fístula en 8 de 9 pacientes. El tiempo de cierre y de cicatrización parietal completa disminuyeron con el sistema de vacío y compactación y fue posible la alimentación rápida y segura desde el comienzo del tratamiento. Conclusiones: La estrategia debe adecuarse a cada caso en forma individual. El SI.VA.CO. demostró ser una herramienta segura y costo-efectiva en el tratamiento de las fistulas colocutáneas de pacientes seleccionados para tratamiento conservador, definitivo o temporizador.


Introduction: Colocutaneous fistula represents a serious problem that require complex and multidisciplinary treatment adapted to each case. The objectives of this presentation are to evaluate the feasibility of using a nonsurgical method of treatment of this condition, the wall closure time and the return of the oral intake. Desing: case report presentation. Patients and methods: between January 1st, 2007 and April 30, 2009 were treated with vacuum and compaction system 9 patients with colocutaneuos fistula, 3 men and 6 women. The mean age was 55 years ranging between 18 and 73. The definitive surgical treatment of this condition will be grounds for another presentation. Results: fistula closure was possible in 8 of 9 patients. The closure time and full wall healing decreased with vacuum system compaction and oral intake was possible and safe from the start of treatment. Conclusions: The strategy should be tailored to each case individually. Vacuum system proved to be secure and cost-effective in patients selected for conservative treatment, definitive and those who needed time to get better conditions for a surgical approach.
