ABSTRACT

Asistir a pacientes que presentan un meningocele gigante y en edad adulta es una rareza clínica, debido en parte a que es una malformación disráfica con una incidencia baja y a que el índice de supervivencia de los recién nacidos con éstas patologías era menor en épocas anteriores, pese a la benignidad de la malformación. Aportamos a la literatura existente los casos de dos pacientes que nacieron con un disrafismo espinal abierto y que no fueron operados en su momento, llegando a la edad adulta con voluminosos sacos meningocutáneos que tuvieron que ser extirpados, por presentar en el caso de más edad, un absceso con fistulización sin salida de LCR que no mejoró con tratamiento tópico y antibiótico. En el otro caso por sospecha de malignización debido a crecimiento progresivo de la malformación durante el último año, endurecimiento de la piel y dolor. El estudio anatomopatológico de los sacos resecados demostró la existencia de una degeneración carcinomatosa. En nuestros casos y en los pocos casos encontrados en la bibliografía parece que la irritación crónica del LCR y la existencia de células multipotenciales en el saco meningocélico pueden favorecer la malignización de los tejidos que recubren el mismo. La posible malignización descrita en la escasa literatura existente, a la que aportamos nuestros dos casos, sugiere como tratamiento de elección la exéresis quirúrgica de estas lesiones congénitas lo más precozmente posible (AU)


A giant meningocelic sac has not been usually described in adult patients, due to the fact that it shows a low incidence and few newborn have survived to date though the malformation is benign. We report two cases of patients born with the described malformation and who were not operated at that time, so they reached adulthood with bigger sacs. They needed surgery to remove the sacs, for a different reason. The older one had a fistulous abcess but the LCR did not come out, and it did not improved by the application of topic and antibiotic treatment. The other patient showed a progressive growth of the malformation during the last year, skin hardening and pain. The histological study of the dried sacs proved the existence of a carcinomatous degeneration. In the patients we have treated, it seems that a chronic irritation of the LCR and the appearance of multipotent cells in the meningocele may favour the malignancy of the tissues surrounding the sac. This possible malignancy, already described in the bibliography, suggests a prompt elective surgical treatment of the patients with these congenital lesions as soon as possible (AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentamos en este trabajo nuestra experiencia en la cirugía de reconstrucción mamaria mediante colgajos locales en doble V. Esta técnica ,descrita por primera vez en el año 1998 por Bolivar de Souza, es sencilla; los colgajos se caracterizan por su facilidad de rotación y trasposición así como por una buena vascularización. Proporciona resultados estéticos satisfactorios asegurando una adecuada forma y posición de la mama gracias a un implante de silicona y favorece la movilidad de la región axilar. Este método, que no pretende sustituir a las técnicas habituales de reconstrucción mamaria, supone una alternativa válida para aquellas pacientes que no presentan graves secuelas debidas a radiodermitis (AU)


We report our experience in breast reconstruction surgery by means of cutaneous flaps in double V. This technique, developed by Bolivar de Souza in 1998, is easy to carry out; the flaps can be easily rotated and transposed, and they are well-vascularized. It achieves good aesthetic result and guarantee an adequate shape and positioning of the breast thanks to a mammary implant, getting good mobility for the axillary region. This technique does not intend to substitute the current techniques used in breast reconstruction, but it represents as an alternative for those patients who don’t suffer from severe cutaneous radiodermitis (AU)
