ABSTRACT

La miastenia gravis es una enfermedad que se caracteriza por fatiga y debilidad muscular de predominio proximal, como son los músculos oculares, funciones bulbares, de las extremidades y de los músculos respiratorios. La evolución de la enfermedad suele ser fluctuante. Es la alteración más común dentro de las enfermedades que afectan a la transmisión neuromuscular. Los síntomas derivan de la agresión inmunológica contra la membrana postsináptica de la unión neuromuscular. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 36 años que acude a consulta por parestesias al comer, que ceden espontáneamente a los pocos minutos. Dos semanas después es ingresado por diplopía y disfagia. Tras la sospecha de miastenia gravis, se realizan las pruebas complementarias pertinentes, concluyendo en el diagnóstico de miastenia gravis generalizada seronegativa asociada a timoma.(AU)


Myasthenia gravis is a disease characterised by mainly proximal muscle fatigue and weakness. For example, the eye muscles, bulbar function, limb and respiratory muscles. Clinical course of the disease is usually variable. This is the most common abnormality within diseases that affect neuromuscular transmission. Symptoms arise from immunological aggression against the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction. We report the case of a 36-year-old man who consulted for paraesthesia whilst eating, which went away spontaneously after a few minutes. Two weeks later he was admitted for diplopia and dysphagia. After suspecting myasthenia gravis the relevant additional tests were performed, which led to a diagnosis of seronegative generalised myasthenia associated with thymoma.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una paciente expuesta a humo de tabaco ambiental en su hogar durante más de 35 años en un reducido espacio. Fue diagnosticada de una tumoración renal (carcinoma de células de transición de pelvis renal), siendo una causa de este tipo de tumores el consumo de tabaco. Pretendemos generar una reflexión sobre el tabaquismo pasivo en el hogar e incorporar nuestro consejo antitabaco en este sentido a nuestros pacientes. Según datos del Ministerio de Sanidad en España, se estima que la exposición al aire contaminado por el humo del tabaco en personas no fumadoras causa, cada año, la muerte alrededor de 1.498 personas (AU)


The present is the case of a female patient exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in her home for more than 35 year-old in a reduced space. She was diagnosed a renal tumor (transitional cells carcinoma of the renal pelvis), being this type of tumor caused by tobacco consumption. Our intention is to generate some thinking around passive tobacco exposure in the home while incorporating our anti-smoking advice to this regard to our patients. According to data from the Spanish Ministry of Health, the exposure of non-smokers to air polluted by tobacco smoke causes 1,498 deaths each year (AU)
