RESUMEN
Con el objetivo de resaltar el valor diagnóstico de la resonancia magnética en la encefalopatía bilirrubínica se presenta el caso clínico de un recién nacido de 37 semanas de edad gestacional que reingresa al octavo día de vida por ictericia constatándose cifras de bilirrubina indirecta de 30,1 mg/dl. La disminución de las mismas se logró con exanguinotransfusión, fototerapia intensiva y adecuado aporte. Se solicita resonancia magnética de cráneo que informa, a nivel de ambos globos pálidos y subtalámico, un aumento de la señal en T1 y T2; contribuyendo al diagnóstico de encefalopatía bilirrubínica aguda.
ABSTRACT
In order to highlight the value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of bilirubin encephalopathy, the clinical case of a 37 week of gestational age newborn is presented. The newborn was readmitted to hospital with jaundice on the eighth day of life, indirect bilirubin being 30.1 mg/dl. This level was decreased with exchange transfusion, intensive phototherapy and the appropriate oral supply. Magnetic resonance imaging of the skull was requested, revealing T1 and T2 hyperintensity within the globus pallidus, and the subthalamic nuclei; which contributed to the diagnose of acute bilirubin encephalopathy.
