ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Nocardia infection (nocardiosis) is usually acquired by inhalation; so pulmonary nocardiosis is the most common clinical presentation. Extrapulmonary localization occurs through hematogenous dissemination or contiguous spread. Nocardia can involve the central nervous system in a very reduced number of patients, mainly in immunocompromised. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman with a history of aggressive systemic mastocytosis, treated with chemotherapy 1 year ago. Patient reported intense headache, disorientation, and blurry vision without other symptoms being diagnosed with a rare brain nocardiosis by Nocardia cerradoensis . Neither bacteremia nor pulmonary involvement was detected. Brain PET/CT illustrated 18 F-fluorocholine avidity on brain abscesses.

La luxación cerrada sin fractura asociada de tobillo es una entidad extremadamente rara. Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 35 años que se lesionó mientras jugaba fútbol. El tratamiento consistió en reducción cerrada seguido de inmovilización con una botina de yeso durante 6 semanas y descarga de la extremidad las primeras 10 semanas. A los 12 meses de seguimiento, el paciente había retomado la práctica deportiva con un rango de movimiento completo. Se revisó la bibliografía existente y se propone una nueva clasificación(AU)
