RESUMO
Os autores selecionaram um grupo de pacientes com apnéia do sono e aneurismas cerebrais e procuraram correlacionar com casos de sobrepeso e obesidade, encontrando 80% de pacientes com obesidade do sexo feminino, com idades entre49 e 72 anos (média de 60,6 anos), todas submetidas a gastroplastia prévia, e tendo sido submetidas a repetidos regimes para emagrecer , com 60% de aneurismas rotos, todos Hunt-Hess entre III e V e Fisher 4 .. Aqueles com sobrepeso, idadeentre 53 e 70 anos ( média 60,5 anos), 50% tabagistas, 75%com aneurismas rotos, com gradação Hunt-Hess 3.3 em média,e Fisher de 3.3 em média. Concluir sobre a correlação é muito incipiente e mais estudos devem ser feitos neste sentido.
ABSTRACT
The authors have selected a group of patients with sleep apnea and brain aneurysms and sought to correlate with cases of overweight and obesity. They have found a high incidence of bleeding among those patients in both groups of obesity, most of them at computed tomography with Fisher score of III to IV,in patients with ruptured aneurysms (60% of rupture in severe obesity and 75% in overweight), and clinical status of Fisher I Vin obese patients and 3.3 in over weighed patients. Beyond any doubts, further studies should be accomplished to establish a strong correlation between associated obesity and sleep apnea and the patophysiology of brain aneurysms.
