ABSTRACT

Intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B (IND B) is an infrequent disease due to hyperplasia of the parasympathetic submucous plexus which causes alteration of intestinal motility, giving rise to symptoms of constipation and subocclusive manifestations. The disease is difficult to diagnose. It requires high clinical suspicion and should include differential diagnosis of patients with repeated subocclusive manifestations in order to make an early and correct diagnosis and avoid complications derived from unnecessary surgery that worsens the prognosis. We present the case of a 33-year-old Moroccan male who was admitted to our hospital on 2 occasions in 11 months, requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for five months. The immunohistochemical analysis of the ileostomy and colostomy stoma led to a diagnosis of IND B. Eighteen months later, the patients is leading a normal life and has recovered the 25 kilos lost following the dietary indications and with the enzymatic supplements.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La cateterización de vías venosas centrales puede presentar como rara complicación la formación de un pseudoaneurisma en una arteria adyacente por punción inadvertida de ésta. Caso clínico. Mujer de 45 años que, tras ser intervenida de cirugía bariátrica, presentó complicaciones que requirieron reingreso en el hospital y estancia en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, necesitándose una vía central subclavia izquierda para su tratamiento. Tras el alta, la paciente refirió la aparición de masa pulsátil súbita en la región laterocervical izquierda que resultó un pseudoaneurisma subclavio, tratado con éxito mediante implante endovascular de stent recubierto vía femoral derecha. Conclusiones. En la arteria subclavia, el tratamiento quirúrgico sigue siendo complejo, particularmente si es necesario abordar el tórax o en pacientes de alto riesgo. En los últimos años, el uso de técnicas endovasculares en las lesiones de la arteria subclavia, tanto traumáticas como iatrogénicas, han minimizado las complicaciones del tratamiento quirúrgico


Introduction. A rarely observed complication deriving from catheterisation of central venous lines is the formation of a pseudoaneurysm in an adjacent artery owing to accidental puncture. Case report. Here we report the case of a 45-year-old female who, following bariatric surgery, developed as series of complications that required readmission to hospital and a stay in the Intensive Care Unit; treatment was established with a left-side subclavian central line. After being discharged from hospital, the patient reported the sudden appearance of a pulsatile mass on the left side of the neck, which turned out to be a subclavian pseudoaneurysm and was successfully treated by implanting a covered stent via the right femoral. Conclusions. Surgical treatment is still complex in the subclavian artery, and more so if it is necessary to approach the thorax or in high-risk patients. In recent years, the use of endovascular techniques to treat both traumatic and iatrogenic lesions in the subclavian artery have minimised the complications deriving from surgical treatment

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La aparición de aneurismas en los injertos vasculares de vena umbilical humana se describió por primera vez en 1982. El tratamiento más habitual ha sido la cirugía. La llegada de las técnicas endovasculares ha incrementado las posibilidades terapéuticas que podemos ofrecer al paciente así como ha minimizado las complicaciones de la cirugía. Caso clínico. Paciente de 76 años con isquemia crónica de extremidades inferiores, intervenido en varias ocasiones (simpatectomía lumbar izquierda, bypass femoropoplíteo izquierdo a primera porción con politetrafluoroetileno en 1989 y bypass femoropoplíteo izquierdo a tercera porción con bioprótesis homóloga en 1994). Durante el seguimiento apareció dilatación aneurismática en aloinjerto diagnosticado mediante eco-Doppler. Se completó el estudio con tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) y angiografía por resonancia magnética. Como tratamiento, se implantó stent recubierto Viabahn de 8 × 100 mm, quedando el aneurisma completamente excluido. A los seis meses de seguimiento no se aprecian endofugas ni migración, y permanece permeable según eco-Doppler y TAC. Conclusión. El avance en las técnicas endovasculares permite un tratamiento rápido y sencillo de los aneurismas de injertos infrainguinales, especialmente útil en pacientes técnicamente complicados o de alto riesgo quirúrgico


INTRODUCTION. The appearance of aneurysms in human umbilical vein vascular grafts was first reported in 1982. Surgical intervention has been the most common treatment until now. The advent of endovascular techniques has expanded the possible therapeutic options that we can offer the patient, while at the same minimising the complications that can result from the intervention. CASE REPORT. We report the case of a 76-year-old patient with chronic ischaemia in both lower extremities who had been submitted to surgery on several occasions (left-side lumbar sympathectomy, a femoral-popliteal polytetrafluoroethylene bypass in the first portion of the left-hand side in 1989 and a femoral-popliteal bypass in the third portion with a homologous bioprosthesis in 1994). During the follow-up an aneurysmal dilatation appeared in the allograft, as diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound recording. The study was completed with computerised axial tomography (CAT) and magnetic resonance angiography. Treatment consisted in the placement of an 8 × 100 mm Viabahn covered stent, after which the aneurysm was completely excluded. At three months’ follow-up no endoleaks or migration were detected and, according to Doppler ultrasound and a CAT scan, patency is preserved. CONCLUSION. The progress being made in endovascular techniques allows fast, simple treatment of aneurysms in infrainguinal grafts, which is especially useful in technically complicated patients or those with a high surgical risk

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La embolia paradójica es un raro evento dentro de los fenómenos isquémicos centrales o periféricos que necesariamente requieren un proceso trombótico venoso o cardíaco más una comunicación derecha-izquierda, habitualmente cardíaca. El correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento es fundamental en el manejo de esta inusual patología para prevenir recurrencias posteriores. Caso clínico. Mujer de 35 años con antecedentes de obesidad mórbida y encamamiento continuado de cuatro días, que acudió por presentar un cuadro isquémico agudo de la extremidad superior izquierda con pérdida de todos los pulsos a ese nivel acompañado de disnea, hipoxemia e hipocapnia. Se realizó una arteriografía urgente que evidenció el cuadro isquémico agudo sobre la arteria subclavia, de probable origen embólico, y ante la sospecha de embolismo pulmonar concomitante se realizó igualmente una angiografía pulmonar que confirmó un tromboembolismo pulmonar masivo, y se intuyó al mismo tiempo una comunicación derecha izquierda por el llenado simultáneo de arteria pulmonar y aorta; se sospechó, por tanto, de la existencia de un embolismo paradójico. La embolectomía se realizó sin incidencias, y el embolismo pulmonar se trató mediante fragmentación local más perfusión de uroquinasa durante 24 horas con estancia perioperatoria en unidad de cuidados intensivos más implante de filtro de cava temporal. Controlada la situación clínica de la paciente, se continuó el estudio con el diagnóstico posterior de foramen oval permeable mediante ecografía transesofágica que se cerró mediante abordaje percutáneo femoral e implante de oclusor tipo Amplatzer (PFO). Se dio de alta a la paciente tras completar el paso a anticoagulación oral ya que en todo momento estuvo bajo tratamiento con heparina sódica en perfusión. Conclusiones. La embolia paradójica supone un mínimo porcentaje de todos los casos de isquemias agudas. No obstante, se debe sospechar de su existencia ante casos atípicos de episodios isquémicos, asociados o no a clínica de trombosis venosa profunda, y valorarse siempre de manera individualizada dada la falta de estrategia definida ante esta inusual patología (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is characterized by an intense inflammatory infiltrate in the gastric mucosa, which is chemoattracted by different cytokines. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) seems to play an important role in the recruitment of circulating neutrophils, and modulation of IL-8 secretion seems to be a strain marker. This study was designed to examine IL-8 concentrations in the gastric mucosa and their relationship with H. pylori phenotype and histologic findings. METHODS: Gastric biopsies were obtained from the antrum and corpus in 106 patients (69 Hp-positive and 37 Hp-negative). IL-8 levels in the gastric mucosa were analyzed by ELISA and Hp phenotype was determined with a western blot test. RESULTS: 75% of H. pylori strains were CagA+ and 54.2% were VacA+. The Houston classification was used for histologic findings. No association between gastric atrophy or intestinal metaplasia and Hp phenotype was found. The highest IL-8 levels were found in CagA+ infected gastric mucosa, but the difference with respect to infection by a VacA+ strain was not statistically significant. IL-8 levels were highest when neutrophils were the predominant cell in the gastric inflammatory infiltrate (p < 0.05). IL-8 levels were higher in patients with atrophic gastritis than in patients with nonatrophic gastritis (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with H. pylori infection, IL-8 levels are higher than in Hp-negative patients regardless of Hp phenotype. There is an association between IL-8 and a neutrophilic infiltrate. Perpetuation of a chronic infiltrate could lead to more severe lesions such as atrophic gastritis or intestinal metaplasia, as deduced from the IL-8 levels found in these types of lesion.
