ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El dispositivo intrauterino (DIU) es un método anticonceptivo muy popular, eficaz y seguro. Aunque posee complicaciones bien descritas como es la migración, la que puede ser a otros órganos dentro de la cavidad peritoneal. La fístula uteroyeyunal es un evento clínico poco frecuente, pero de gran repercusión si no es diagnosticada y tratada. Se presenta el caso de una paciente usuaria de DIU, el que migra a cavidad abdominal, con posterior formación de fístula uteroyeyunal.


ABSTRACT The intrauterine device is a popular, efficient and safe contraceptive. Although it has some well described complications, such as migration, which may be to the different organs inside of the peritoneal cavity. The uterus-jejunal fistula is a rare clinical event, but with great repercussion if it is not well assessed and treated properly. We present the clinical case of a patient with a migrated intrauterine device and a fistula uterus-jejunal formation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the treatment strategy for subcutaneous fistula secondary to cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL) in thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) cases.@*METHODS@#In the study, 186 CSFL cases diagnosed with TSS and operated in general spine group of Department of Orthopedics, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed, of which eleven had subcutaneous fistula secondary to CSFL and were regularly followed up. Treatment strategy for subcutaneous fistula depended on the severity of CSFL and the recovery rate of thoracic myelopathy. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was utilized to evaluate the neurologic status of these patients preoperatively and postoperatively. Statistical analysis was conducted between preoperative and postoperative JOA scores.@*RESULTS@#All of the 11 patients were regularly followed up for at least 24 months. Six of them had ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) combined with ossification of ligamentum flavum (OLF), all of them undertook "cave-in" 360° circumferential decompression of the spinal cord with instrumentation. Five cases had OLF only, and received En bloc resection of lamina and OLF and fixation. The follow-up period ranged from 30 months to 131 months, and averaged at (85±34) months. Preoperative symptoms lasted from 3 months to 8 years, and the median was 18 months. Drainages were placed for 2-6 days, and averaged at (4.2±1.1) days. Ten cases appeared with fever during the perioperative period, the maximum body temperature was (37.3-39.7) °C. Prolonged antibiotics were applied in two cases with high fever. Ten cases were treated with conservative methods, CSFL were completely absorbed during the follow-up time, of which compressive dressing was utilized in 8 cases, and punctures combined with compressive dressing were used in 2 cases. For only 1 case, conservative therapy failed and reoperation was required because of neurological deterioration arising from CSF pseudocyst. For these 11 cases, preoperative JOA score arose from (3.8±1.6) preoperatively to (8.9±1.2) at the end of the final follow-up, the recovery rate was 70.8%. No infection of wound or central nerve system were noticed, and neither were unhealing wound.@*CONCLUSION@#Most TSS cases with subcutaneous fistula secondary to CSFL could be cured by conservative methods, and reoperation is required only if myelopathy caused by cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst is identified.

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

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach with a pedicled nasoseptal flap for pituitary adenoma and skull base reconstruction, especially with respect to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula.Method Ninety-one consecutive patients with pituitary adenomas were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach by the single team including the otorhinolaryngologists and neurosurgeons. Postoperative complications related to the flap were analyzed.Results Intra- and postoperative CSF fistulae were observed in 36 (40%) and 4 (4.4%) patients, respectively. Among the 4 patients, lumbar drainage and bed rest healed the CSF fistula in 3 patients and reoperation for revision was necessary in one patient. Other flap-related complications included nasal bleeding in 3 patients (3.3%).Conclusion The endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach is most suitable for a two-surgeon technique and a pedicled nasoseptal flap is a reliable technique for preventing postoperative CSF fistula in pituitary surgery.


Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado com a criação do flap naso-septal pediculado para reconstrução da base do crânio em cirurgias de resseção de adenoma de hipófise, especialmente nos casos que ocorrem fístula líquido cefalorraquidiano (FLC).Método Noventa e um pacientes consecutivos portadores de adenoma de hipófise foram retrospectivamente revisados. Complicações pós-operatórias relacionadas ao flap foram analisadas.Resultados Fístulas líquido cefalorraquidiano intra e pós-operatórias foram observadas em 36 (40%) e 4 (4,4%) dos pacientes, respectivamente. Entre os 4 pacientes, drenagem lombar e repouso absoluto foram suficientes para o fechamento da fístula e intervenção cirúrgica foi necessária em apenas um paciente. Outra complicação relacionada ao flap foi o sangramento em 3 (3,3%) dos pacientes.Conclusão O acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado é melhor aplicado quando realizado por dois cirurgiões e o flap naso-septal é uma técnica eficaz para prevenção de fístula pós-operatória em cirurgias de hipófise.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Although rare, the atrioesophageal fistula is one of the most feared complications in radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation due to the high risk of mortality. Objective: This is a prospective controlled study, performed during regular radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, to test whether esophageal displacement by handling the transesophageal echocardiography transducer could be used for esophageal protection. Methods: Seven hundred and four patients (158 F/546M [22.4%/77.6%]; 52.8±14 [17-84] years old), with mean EF of 0.66±0.8 and drug-refractory atrial fibrillation were submitted to hybrid radiofrequency catheter ablation (conventional pulmonary vein isolation plus AF-Nests and background tachycardia ablation) with displacement of the esophagus as far as possible from the radiofrequency target by transesophageal echocardiography transducer handling. The esophageal luminal temperature was monitored without and with displacement in 25 patients. Results: The mean esophageal displacement was 4 to 9.1cm (5.9±0.8 cm). In 680 of the 704 patients (96.6%), it was enough to allow complete and safe radiofrequency delivery (30W/40ºC/irrigated catheter or 50W/60ºC/8 mm catheter) without esophagus overlapping. The mean esophageal luminal temperature changes with versus without esophageal displacement were 0.11±0.13ºC versus 1.1±0.4ºC respectively, P<0.01. The radiofrequency had to be halted in 68% of the patients without esophageal displacement because of esophageal luminal temperature increase. There was no incidence of atrioesophageal fistula suspected or confirmed. Only two superficial bleeding caused by transesophageal echocardiography transducer insertion were observed. Conclusion: Mechanical esophageal displacement by transesophageal echocardiography transducer during radiofrequency catheter ablation was able to prevent a rise in esophageal luminal temperature, helping to avoid ...


Resumo Introdução: Apesar de rara, a fístula átrio-esofágica é uma das complicações mais temidas na ablação por radiofrequência da fibrilação atrial pelo alto risco de mortalidade. Objetivo: Este é um estudo prospectivo controlado, realizado durante a ablação por radiofrequência da fibrilação atrial regular, para testar se o deslocamento do esôfago ao manipular o transdutor de ecocardiografia transesofágica poderia ser usado para a proteção de esôfago. Métodos: Setecentos e quatro pacientes (158 mulheres e 546 homens [22,4%/77,6%]; 52,8±14 [17-84] anos), com EF média igual a 0,66±0,8 e com fibrilação atrial refratária ao tratamento medicamentoso, foram submetidos à terapia híbrida com ablação por radiofrequência (isolamento convencional das veias pulmonares e ninhos de fibrilação atrial e ablação de taquicardia de background) com deslocamento do esôfago o mais longe possível do alvo da radiofrequência por manuseio do transdutor de ecocardiografia transesofágica. A temperatura luminal esofágica foi monitorada com e sem deslocamento em 25 pacientes. Resultados: O deslocamento esofágico significativo foi de 4 a 9,1 centímetros (5,9±0,8 cm). Em 680 dos 704 pacientes (96,6%), isso foi o suficiente para permitir a entrega completa e segura de radiofrequência (30W/40ºC/cateter irrigado ou 50W/60ºC/cateter de 8 milímetros) sem sobreposição do esôfago. As alterações médias de temperatura luminal esofágica com e sem deslocamento de esôfago foram de 0,11±0,13ºC versus 1,1±0,4ºC, respectivamente, P<0,01. A radiofrequência teve que ser interrompida em 68% dos pacientes sem deslocamento de esôfago devido ao aumento da temperatura luminal esofágica. Não houve nenhum caso, suspeito ou confirmado, de fístula átrio-esofágica. Foram observados apenas dois sangramentos superficiais causados por inserção do transdutor de ecocardiografia transesofágica. Conclusão: O deslocamento mecânico do esôfago pelo transdutor de ecocardiografia transesofágico durante ...

ABSTRACT

Otite média (OM) é considerada doença potencialmente grave em razão dos riscos de complicações que podem ocorrer em sua evolução. OBJETIVO: Estabelecer a incidência anual de complicações intratemporais de OM e avaliar prospectivamente os pacientes por meio da análise dos aspectos epidemiológicos e clínicos. MÉTODO: Estudo de coorte contemporânea. Durante o período de um ano, os pacientes admitidos em um Hospital Universitário, com diagnóstico de OM e de complicação intratemporal (CIT) de OM foram incluídos no estudo. Os dados avaliados foram: idade, sexo, tipo de complicação intratemporal, tratamento e desfecho clínico. A incidência geral das complicações e de cada complicação foi determinada. RESULTADOS: 1.816 pacientes foram diagnosticados com OM. Em 592 (33%) indivíduos, o diagnóstico foi de otite média crônica; em 1224 (67%) o diagnóstico foi de otite média aguda. CIT de OM foi diagnosticada em 15 pacientes, perfazendo uma incidência anual de CIT 0,8%. Foram identificados 19 diagnósticos de CIT em 15 pacientes. Fístula labiríntica foi diagnosticada em sete (36,8%) indivíduos, mastoidite em cinco (26,3%), paralisia facial periférica em quatro (21,1%) e labirintite em três (15,8%). CONCLUSÃO: A incidência das complicações intratemporais permanece significativa quando comparada à de países desenvolvidos. A otite média crônica colesteatomatosa é a etiologia mais frequente das complicações intratemporais. A fístula labiríntica é a complicação intratemporal mais comum.


Otitis media (OM) is considered a potentially severe disease due to the risk of complications. OBJECTIVE: To establish the annual incidence of intratemporal complications (ITC) resulting from OM and to prospectively assess patients for epidemiological and clinical factors. METHOD: This prospective cohort study included patients admitted during one year at a university hospital diagnosed with intratemporal complications of OM. Patients were analyzed for age, gender, type of intratemporal complication, treatment, and clinical outcome. The overall incidence of complications and the specific incidence rates of each type of complication were determined. RESULTS: 1,816 patients were diagnosed with OM; 592 (33%) had chronic OM; 1224 (67%) had acute OM. Fifteen patients were diagnosed with OM ITC, adding up to an annual incidence of 0.8%. Nineteen diagnoses of ITC were made in 15 patients. Seven (36.8%) patients were diagnosed with labyrinthine fistula, five (26.3%) with mastoiditis, four (21.1%) with peripheral facial palsy, and three (15.8%) with labyrinthitis. CONCLUSION: The incidence of intratemporal complications remains significant when compared to the rates seen in developed countries. Chronic cholesteatomatous otitis media is the most frequent etiology of intratemporal complications. Labyrinthine fistula is the most common intratemporal complication.

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

Introdução: O câncer de laringe é um dos mais comuns a atingir região da cabeça e pescoço, representando 25% dos tumores malignos que acometem essa área. Quando diagnosticada precocemente, essa neoplasia tem cura; mas, na maioria dos casos, os pacientes são submetidos à faringolaringectomia e laringectomia total, nos quais a complicação mais grave é a fístula faringocutânea. O presente estudo trata das principais implicações da fístula faringocutânea e os cuidados de enfermagem em pacientes submetidos à laringectomia total. Objetivo: Descrever as principais implicações da complicação fístula faringocutânea para subsidiar a assistência de enfermagem. Método: Estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, com coleta de dados nas bases Lilacs, Medline, Pubmed e Google acadêmico, dos quais foram selecionadosquatro artigos que se adequavam aos critérios de seleção do estudo. Resultados: Como resultados, todos os autores enfatizam que a fístula faringocutânea é a maior, e mais frequente complicação em pacientes submetidos à laringectomiatotal, com uma diversidade de fatores elencados na literatura que resultam na formação dessa fístula; a identificaçãodesses fatores de risco é imprescindível para o planejamento da assistência de enfermagem perioperatória. Conclusão:Há escassez de estudos sobre os fatores de risco para a formação da fístula faringocutânea e os cuidados de enfermagem. O enfermeiro deve atuar no ensino para prevenção dessa complicação, assegurar recuperação fisiológica e reabilitação do paciente, além de favorecer a cicatrização, diminuindo riscos de infecção, tempo de internação, gastos hospitalarese promover melhora da qualidade de vida desses pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Aortoenteric fistula (AEF) developed after treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a rare but usually fatal complication. We report a rare case of AEF bleeding after endovascular stent grafting for AAA which was managed angiographically. An 81-year-old man presented with hematochezia and acute abdominal pain for 1 day ago. Four years ago, an aortic stent was implanted in the infrarenal aorta for AAA. Endoscopies were performed to evaluate the hematochezia. Evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding was observed, but a clear bleeding point was not detected on upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography performed subsequently showed that the bleeding point was located in the fourth portion of the duodenum as an AEF caused by an inflammatory process in the stent-graft. Intra-arterial angiography showed a massive contrast leakage into the bowel via a small fistula from around the aortic stent graft site. Embolization was successfully performed by injecting a mixture of glue and lipiodol into the AEF tract. The patient was discharged with no evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding after the embolization.

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

Aorto-cavitary fistulae are rare complications of infective endocarditis. The diagnosis, in the absence of concomitant aortic valve disease, replacement of aortic valve with homograft or prosthetic valve, periannular abscess and negative blood culture, requires a high index of suspicion and has important prognostic and management significance. The sensitivity of the Modified Duke Criteria is challenged in this case report with a documented right sinus of valsalva fistula to the right ventricle seen on transthoracic echocardiography.


Los fístulas aorto-cavitarias son complicaciones raras de la endocarditis infecciosa. El diagnóstico - en ausencia de la enfermedad concomitante de la válvula aórtica, el reemplazo de válvula aórtica con homoinjertos o válvulas protésicas, absceso perianular, y cultivo de sangre negativo - requiere un alto índice de sospecha, y reviste gran importancia para la prognosis y el tratamiento. En este reporte de caso, se cuestiona la sensibilidad de los Criterios de Duke Modificados, con la documentación de una fístula del seno de valsalva derecho hacia el ventrículo derecho, observada en una ecocardiografía transtorácica.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: As fístulas liquóricas otológicas espontâneas (FLOEs) são entidades raras. Geralmente manifestam-se em crianças com meningite e perda sensorioneural profunda e em adultos com quadro de otite média com efusão. Objetivo: Descrever o quadro clínico, o diagnóstico e o tratamento cirúrgico de uma paciente com FLOE. Relato do Caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 57 anos, com história de hipoacusia, plenitude aural e tinnitus à direita há 10 anos. Após colocação de tubo de ventilação à direita em outro serviço, iniciou otorreia líquida, transparente e constante em grande quantidade. O diagnóstico foi realizado através da cisternocintilografia, sugestiva de fístula liquórica; e da cisternotomografia que mostrou área de deiscência óssea em região de tegmen tympani à direita, velamento parcial de células mastóideas e de orelha média à direita, além concentração do meio de contraste no espaço sub-aracnoídeo à direita menor em relação ao lado esquerdo. Através de via transmastoídea foi localizada fístula liquórica e meningoencefalocele na região de tegmen tympani à direita. O fechamento da fístula foi realizado através do uso de retalho de músculo temporal, cola de fibrina e Surgicel®. Comentários Finais: Em adultos com história clínica sugestiva de otite média com efusão recorrente, a hipótese diagnóstica de fístula liquórica deve ser levantada. A investigação deve prosseguir com exames de imagem, destacando-se a cisternotomografia. O tratamento cirúrgico nesta paciente, através da técnica transmastoídea, se revelou eficaz a curto e a longo prazo...


Introduction: The spontaneous otological CSF leaks are rare entities. Usually they manifest themselves in children with meningitis and deep sensorineural hearing loss and in adults with middle otitis and effusion clinical picture. Objective: To describe the clinical picture, diagnosis and surgical treatment of a patient with CSF otological. Case Report: A female sex patient, 57 years old, with hearing loss, aural fullness and right ear tinnitus case history 10 years ago. After insertion of tympanostomy tubes on the right in another service, it began liquid, transparent and constant otorrhea in large quantities. The diagnosis was performed by suggestive cisternoscintigraphy of CSF leak, and by cisternography that showed that the area of bone dehiscence in the tegmen tympani region to the right, partial opacification of mastoid cells and middle ear to the right, besides concentration of contrast medium in sub-arachnoid space to the lower right compared to the left side. Through transmastoid via was located the CSF leak and meningoencephalocele in the region of the right tegmen tympani. The closure of the fistula was accomplished through the use of the temporal muscle flap, fibrin glue and Surgicel®. Final Comments: In adults with symptoms suggestive of recurrent otitis media with effusion, the diagnosis of CSF fistula should be raised. The research should proceed with imaging, highlighting the CTC. Surgical treatment in this patient using the transmastoid technique has proved effective in the short and long term...

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula is the most serious complication after transsphenoidal surgery. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence of CSF fistula after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for tumor removal in sellar region; to discuss associated factors and methods used for sellar closure. METHOD: Retrospective study of 67 patients (73 surgeries) operated via transsphenoidal endoscopy at Hospital Vall D'Hebron and Hospital Clinic of the Universidad de Barcelona, Spain. The data collected included: age, sex, hospitalization stay, suprasellar extension of the lesion, type of tumor, evidence of intraoperative CSF fistula, complications of postoperative CSF fistula, previous surgery and radiotherapy. RESULTS: Six patients (8.2 percent) had postoperative CSF fistula, and their average hospitalization was 5 days longer with resulting complications: two of whom had pneumoencephalus and two with meningitis. No association was found between the data collected and postoperative CSF fistula. CONCLUSION: The rate of CSF fistula after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery from the present study is contained within the literature. Unlike other reports, no association between the variables and postoperative CSF fistula was found in this report.


A fístula liquórica pós-operatória é a complicação mais séria após cirurgia transesfenoidal. OBJETIVO: Analisar a incidência de fístula liquórica após cirurgia endoscópica transesfenoidal para remoção de tumores selares, discutir fatores associados e método utilizado para fechamento selar. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo de 67 pacientes (73 cirurgias) operados via endoscopia transesfenoidal no Hospital Vall D'Hebron e Hospital Clínic da Universidad de Barcelona, Espanha. Os dados coletados foram: idade, sexo, dias de internação, extensão supra-selar da lesão, tipo de tumor, evidência de fístula liquórica intra-operatória, complicações da fístula liquórica pós-operatória, cirurgia e radioterapia prévias. RESULTADOS: Seis pacientes (8.2 por cento) tiveram fístula liquórica pós-operatória. Nestes a média de internação hospitalar foi 5 dias maior e tendo complicações decorrentes: dois com pneumoencéfalo e dois com meningite. Não se encontrou associação entre os dados coletados e fístula liquórica pós-operatória. CONCLUSÃO: A taxa de fistula liquórica após cirurgia transesfenoidal endoscópica do presente estudo está dentro da literatura. Ao contrário de outros relatos, nesta pesquisa não foi encontrada associação entre as variáveis e fístula liquórica pós-operatória.

ABSTRACT

Tracheo-innominate artery fistula [TIF] is a rare, life threatening and catastrophic complication, which may occur 7 to 14 days after surgery. The Incidence Rate of TIF is 0.1-1% and survival rate of patient is 14.3%. Herein, we describe TIF in a patient 50 days post tracheotomy, based on our research, it appears that our case is the first finding with the latest onset of TIF after tracheotomy, which now has been improved by early diagnosis and surgical treatment

ABSTRACT

La fístula perilinfática corresponde a una patología infrecuente en la práctica otorrinolaringológica diaria. Esta puede tener un origen congénito, de aparición espontánea o más frecuentemente postraumática, presentando habitualmente la triada clínica de hipoacusia, tinnitus y vértigo. A continuación se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 50 años atendida en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile, ingresada por un cuadro con clínica compatible, de inicio súbito luego de una perforación timpánica traumática autoinferida.


Perilymphatic fistula is an infrequent pathology in standard otorhinolaryngological practice. Fistulas of this sort may be of congenital, spontaneous or, more frequently post traumatic origin, normally presenting with the clinical triad of hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. The case of a 50 year old patient presenting with clinically compatible symptoms of sudden appearance after a self-infringed traumatic tympanic perforation is discussed.
