Antecedentes y objetivo: La pérdida de peso es un motivo frecuente de consulta que abarca múltiples posibilidades diagnósticas. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las características de los pacientes que acuden a consulta por pérdida de peso y establecer la relación de esta con las neoplasias. Método: Se analizaron datos demográficos, pérdida de peso cuantificada, sintomatología acompañante y diagnóstico de los pacientes que acuden a consulta por este motivo, durante el año 2015. Resultados: Se incluyeron 226 pacientes, de los cuales el 44,2% presentaba una pérdida de peso≥5% en los 6 meses previos. El diagnóstico más frecuente en este grupo fueron las neoplasias, mientras que en el resto de los pacientes fueron las enfermedades digestivas. Se establece relación entre una pérdida de peso≥5% y la presencia de neoplasias. Conclusión: Una pérdida de peso superior al 5% en los 6 meses previos se asocia con la presencia de enfermedades neoplásicas, lo que exige un estudio diagnóstico exhaustivo
Background and objective: Unintentional weight loss is frequent reason to visit a doctor and it has multiple diagnostic possibilities. The objective of this study is to examine the background of the patients who seek consultation for weight loss and to establish the relationship between weight loss and neoplasia. Method: An analysis was performed on the demographic data, quantified weight loss, accompanying symptomatology, and diagnosis of patients who sought medical advice for unintentional weight loss during the year 2015. Results: A total of 226 patients were included, of whom 44.2% of them had an intentional weight loss ≥ 5% in 6 months. The most frequent diagnosis in this group was a neoplasia, whereas in the rest of patients the most common diagnosis was a gastrointestinal disease. In light of this study we can conclude that there is a relationship between unintentional weight loss≥5% and the presence of neoplasia. Conclusion: An unintentional weight loss greater than 5% in the previous 6 months is associated with the presence of neoplastic diseases, and therefore requires further diagnostic study

The cranial nerves, due to its location, are not infrequently involved in the nasopharyngeal neoplasm evolutionary course. In this paper we describe two cases in which the neoplastic infiltration in both cavernous sinuses brought the appearance of an acute bilateral ophthalmolegia on. This symptomatology meant, in the first case, the onset of disease. In the second one, it was the reason of consultation. Later we discuss the topographic location of the damages in both cavernous sinuses considering the observed neurological shortcomings. Finally we approach a short revision of the causes of bilateral ophthalmoplegia found in literature, as well as an evaluation of different radiological diagnosis methods for this kind of damages.
