ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La migraña confusional aguda se trata de un estado de confusión transitorio que se suele acompañar de cefalea. Es una entidad poco descrita en la literatura, que normalmente se presenta en la adolescencia. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Se describen 3 pacientes adolescentes con esta patología, atendidos en nuestro hospital, uno de ellos en seguimiento previo por migraña. El primero presentó un trazado electroencefalográfico interictal enlentecido que ameritó iniciar aciclovir intravenoso, aunque limitó la clínica con haloperidol intravenoso; el segundo presentó pérdida de conocimiento e hipotonía prolongada, y el último estaba en seguimiento previo por migraña sin profilaxis. En todos, la resonancia magnética cerebral fue normal. La evolución de nuestros pacientes fue satisfactoria, con recuperación completa y sin nuevos episodios confusionales. CONCLUSIÓN: La migraña confusional aguda se trata de una entidad poco frecuente que requiere ser conocida para estudiarla en el diagnóstico diferencial del cuadro confusional agudo. Hay pocos casos publicados, por lo que la experiencia terapéutica es escasa y controvertida. Nuevas series de mayor tamaño podrían sugerir los tratamientos más idóneos y ayudar a conocer mejor la evolución de estos pacientes


INTRODUCTION: Acute confusional migraine is a transient confusional state, and in some cases headache is not present. It is a rare manifestation, with few cases in the literature, most of them in adolescence. CLINICAL CASES: We report 3 cases in adolescents with this pathology, one of them with past medical history of migraine. The first one presented a slowed interictal electroencephalogram that merited initiating intravenous acyclovir, although it limited the clinic with intravenous haloperidol; the second one presented a loss of consciousness and prolonged hypotonia, and the last one was in previous follow-up due to migraine without prophylaxis. Magnetic resonance image was normal in all of them. The follow up of our patients was good, with full recovery and without new confusional episodes. CONCLUSION: Acute confusional migraine is a rare entity that needs to be known to study it in the differential diagnosis of acute confusional symptoms. There are few published cases, so the therapeutic experience is scarce and controversial. New series with larger sample size could suggest the most suitable treatments and help to better understand the evolution of these patients

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Un tercio de las crisis febriles son complejas. Su manejo no ha suscitado un consenso como en el caso de las crisis febriles simples. El objetivo de este estudio es estimar la rentabilidad de los exámenes complementarios y el riesgo de enfermedad intracraneal grave asociada. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo desde el año 2003 hasta el 2011 de los pacientes ingresados en un hospital de tercer nivel con criterios de convulsión febril compleja de 6 meses a 6 años, excluyendo los casos con afección neurológica previa. De los pacientes seleccionados, se recogieron variables epidemiológicas, clínicas, pruebas complementarias y complicaciones. RESULTADOS: Se encontró a 65 pacientes (31 mujeres y 34 varones) de los cuales 44 tuvieron crisis repetidas en las primeras 24 h y 15 presentaron crisis focales. El 90% de la recurrencia ocurrió antes de 15 h. La edad media fue de 20,7 meses y la temperatura fue de 39,1 ± 0,12 ° C . En ningún paciente se encontró afección intracraneal grave durante su ingreso. El electroencefalograma no ofreció información de ayuda para su diagnostico. La neuroimagen fue normal en todos los casos estudiados. CONCLUSIONES: La incidencia de complicaciones en la convulsión febril compleja en nuestra serie no justificó el ingreso ni el estudio sistemático con pruebas complementarias cuando la exploración neurológica era normal. El electroencefalograma de rutina no parece estar justificado


INTRODUCTION: Although one third of febrile seizures are complex, a consensus has still not been reached on how to manage them, as is the case with simple febrile seizures. The objective of this study is to estimate the usefulness of complementary examinations and the risk of associated serious intracranial pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted from 2003 until 2011 on patients from 6 months to 6 years presenting with a complex febrile seizure admitted to a tertiary care hospital, excluding the cases with previous neurological disease. Epidemiological and clinic variables were collected, as well as complementary tests and complications. RESULTS: We found 65 patients (31 females and 34 males), of whom 44 had repeated seizures in the first 24 hours, with 15 having focal seizures. The vast majority (90%) of the recurrences occurred before 15 hours. The mean age was 20.7 months and temperature was 39.1±0.12 ◦C. None of the patients had severe intracranial pathology. The electroencephalogram gave no helpful information for the diagnosis. Neuroimaging was normal in all studied cases. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of complications in complex febrile seizure in our series did not justify the systematic admission or the systematic study with complementary tests when the neurological examination was normal. The routine electroencephalogram does not appear to be justified
