ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Zinner es una alteración en el desarrollo embriológico poco común, que consiste en la asociación de una dilatación quística de la vesícula seminal con agenesia renal ipsilateral. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 14 años diagnosticado de síndrome de Zinner a raíz de un cuadro de orquiepididimitis izquierda y hematuria. Entre los antecedentes personales del paciente destaca una agenesia renal izquierda con función renal conservada. Debido a la sospecha clínica se realizó una resonancia magnética (RM), en la que se objetivó uréter izquierdo dilatado y tortuoso, confirmándose su desembocadura en vesícula seminal izquierda. Clínicamente suele manifestarse con episodios recidivantes de epididimitis, trastornos miccionales o alteraciones eyaculatorias, pudiendo aparecer a cualquier edad, aunque lo más frecuente es durante la segunda y tercera décadas de la vida. La RM es la técnica diagnóstica de elección. El tratamiento depende directamente de la clínica. La cirugía suele reservarse para los pacientes sintomáticos o para aquellos quistes que se detectan a una edad temprana, para evitar posibles complicaciones


Zinner syndrome is a rare embryological development disorder. It is the association of a cystic dilation of the seminal vesicle with ipsilateral renal agenesis. The case is presented as a 14-year-old male diagnosed with Zinner syndrome as a consequence of an orchiepididymitis and hematuria episode. Among his medical history, a left renal agenesis is highlighted with preserved renal function. Due to the clinical suspicion, a MRI was performed in which it was observed a dilated and tortuous left ureter, being able to confirm its opening in the left seminal vesicle. Zinner syndrome is clinically presented with recurrent epididymitis episodes, voiding disorders or ejaculatory alterations, being able to appear at any age, although the most common is during the second and third decade of life. MRI is the diagnostic method of choice. Treatment relies on the clinic. Surgery is usually reserved for symptomatic patients or for those cysts that are detected at an early age, in order to avoid possible complications

ABSTRACT

La tortícolis consiste en una postura cefálica anómala con inclinación de la cabeza hacia un lado y rotación del mentón hacia el lado contrario. No es un diagnóstico en sí mismo sino un signo clínico que aparece en patologías de diferente gravedad. La etiología en la edad pediátrica difiere a la edad adulta existiendo un diagnóstico diferencial muy amplio. Presentamos tres casos clínicos atendidos en nuestro servicio con etiologías poco frecuentes y realizamos una revisión de la tortícolis en la edad pediátrica


Torticollis is an anomalous head posture related with the body axis with cervical rotation and contralateral tilt of the head. It ́s not a diagnosis in itself but a clinical sign with a broad differential diagnosis. The aetiology in children differs from adults. We report three cases with non-frequent aetiolo-gies and review literature about this topic in the pediatric age

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los pediatras estamos poco familiarizados con la patología de la mama de niños y adolescentes, debido en parte a su baja incidencia en la edad pediátrica y al escaso conocimiento que tenemos de. las diferentes patologías que pueden asentar en ella. Es importante ampliar nuestros conocimientos en esta patología, sobre todo en relación con la patología del adolescente, para así mejorar el manejo de estas patologías. Material y métodos. Revisamos las historias de 7 pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Urgencias y en las consultas de Pediatría en relación a patología de la mama, y revisamos la bibliografía al respecto. Conclusiones. Queremos hacer hincapié en las diferentes patologías de la mama en la edad pediátrica para facilitar el diagnóstico y manejo de esta patología (AU)


Introduction. Pediatricians are not very familiar with breast diseases of children and adolescents due to the low incidence in pediatric age and our spare knowledges. It's important to improve our understanding, above all concerning the adolescent group. Material and methods. We reviewed the medical records of 7 patients attended in the emergency department or in the consulting rooms of the hospital diagnosed of different breast diseases. We also reviewed the related references. Conclusion. We want to remember the different breast diseases to case diagnosis and management of these pathologies (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Introducir una escala de alerta clínica precoz en nuestra práctica habitual, evaluar su utilidad para prevenir el deterioro evitable en niños hospitalizados y capacitar al personal para comunicar la información y responder de forma efectiva. Material y métodos. Valoración de la aplicación de una escala de alerta clínica precoz incluida en la historia clínica electrónica, en pacientes hospitalizados de 0 a 15años (febrero 2014-septiembre 2014). La puntuación máxima era 6. Se requería evaluación del personal de enfermería cuando era >2 o conjunta médico-enfermera cuando era >3. Indicadores de seguimiento: porcentaje de pacientes con escala; porcentaje de registros completos; porcentaje de escalas >3; porcentaje de registros >3 con aviso al médico; porcentaje de cambios de tratamiento derivados del aviso y pacientes trasladados a la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos (UCIP) o fallecimientos no detectados por la escala. Resultados. La escala se aplicó al 100% de pacientes ingresados (931), realizándose 7.917 tomas, con el 78,8% de registros completos. El 1,9% de las tomas fueron >3 y en el 70,5% se cumplió el aviso al médico. En el 14% de registros >3 se registró intensificación del tratamiento o solicitud de pruebas complementarias. Un paciente precisó traslado a UCIP (puntuación 2) y no hubo fallecimientos. La preocupación de los familiares/personal quedó registrada en el 80% de tomas. Conclusiones. Las escalas de alerta clínica precoz infantil permiten homogeneizar la monitorización, unificar formularios y mejorar los registros. La escasa aparición de complicaciones graves que requieran ingreso en UCIP y fallecimientos obligan a buscar otras variables de resultado para su evaluación (AU)


Objectives. The aims of this study were to introduce a paediatric early warning score (PEWS) into our daily clinical practice, as well as to evaluate its ability to detect clinical deterioration in children admitted, and to train nursing staff to communicate the information and response effectively. Material and methods. An analysis was performed on the implementation of PEWS in the electronic health records of children (0-15 years) in our paediatric ward from February 2014 to September 2014. The maximum score was 6. Nursing staff reviewed scores >2, and if >3 medical and nursing staff reviewed it. Monitoring indicators: % of admissions with scoring; % of complete data capture; % of scores >3; % of scores >3 reviewed by medical staff, % of changes in treatment due to the warning system, and number of patients who needed Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admission, or died without an increased warning score. Results. The data were collected from all patients (931) admitted. The scale was measured 7,917 times, with 78.8% of them with complete data capture. Very few (1.9%) showed scores >3, and 14% of them with changes in clinical management (intensifying treatment or new diagnostic tests). One patient (scored 2) required PICU admission. There were no deaths. Parents or nursing staff concern was registered in 80% of cases. Conclusions. PEWS are useful to provide a standardised assessment of clinical status in the inpatient setting, using a unique scale and implementing data capture. Because of the lack of severe complications requiring PICU admission and deaths, we will have to use other data to evaluate these scales (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pediatras estamos muy concienciados sobre nuestro papel en el diagnóstico del maltrato, ya que si éste no se diagnostica y denuncia a tiempo, puede traer graves consecuencias en los niños, tanto físicas como psíquicas. Sin embargo, como médicos, también podemos incurrir en diagnósticos erróneos de maltrato, con la importancia que esta falsa afirmación supone desde el punto de vista legal y familiar. Material y métodos: Revisamos las historias de cuatro pacientes con patologías diversas que fueron diagnosticados inicialmente de maltrato. En todos ellos se encontró una causa médica que explicaba sus patologías y descartaba nuestra hipótesis inicial de maltrato. Conclusiones: Como pediatras, debemos estar alerta sobre los signos y síntomas que pueden hacernos pensar en maltrato. Sin embargo, también debemos conocer las patologías que pueden parecer efectos de un maltrato, y siempre debemos pensar en los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales cuando se nos plantea un posible caso de maltrato (AU)


Backgrounds: Paediatricians are concerned about our role in diagnosis of child abuse, due to the terrible consequences, both physical and psychological, that children can suffer if it’s not diagnosed and reported on time. However, as doctors, we can fall into misdiagnosis, with the importance of this wrong statement means legally and in their families. Material and methods: We have reviewed four medical records with different diseases. All of them were initially diagnosed of child abuse, but in all we found a medical cause that explained their diseases and child abuse could be ruled out. Conclusions: As paediatricians, we must be alert about signs and symptoms that might make us think about child abuse. However, we also must know diseases that can simulate child abuse and we must consider an alternative diagnoses always than we were thinking about the possibility of physical or sexual child abuse (AU)

ABSTRACT

La aparición de alteraciones significativas de la repolarización durante episodios de taquicardia supraventricular no es un hecho infrecuente. A menudo, estos episodios cursan con dolor torácico, lo que puede hacer pensar en una enfermedad coronaria. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 9 años de edad, tratado en nuestro centro por un episodio de taquicardia supraventricular y dolor torácico, con posterior depresión del segmento ST que no se normalizó hasta horas después del episodio. Se realiza una revisión de las taquicardias paroxísticas supraventriculares por vía accesoria y se discute el valor diagnóstico y la etiología de las alteraciones de la repolarización durante las taquicardias supraventriculares (AU)


Repolarization abnormalities during supraventricular tachycardias are not unusual. They are frequently accompanied by chest pain, this may lead to a false diagnosis of coronary ischemia. We present a 9-year-old child with an episode of supraventricular tachycardia, chest pain and pronounced ST-segment depression treated in our hospital. A review about paroxysmal atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia is presented. Diagnostic value and aetiology of repolarization abnormalities during supraventricular tachycardias are discussed (AU)

ABSTRACT

El liquen escleroso es un trastorno mucocutáneo que afecta típicamente a mujeres en la etapa posmenopáusica. Aunque es una entidad poco conocida por los pediatras, hasta un 7-15% de los casos se dan en niñas prepuberales. Presentamos 3 casos de niñas diagnosticadas de liquen escleroso. En todos los casos, el diagnóstico inicial fue erróneo; de ahí la importancia de conocer este cuadro (AU)


Lichen sclerosus is a chronic mucocutaneous disorder that affects typically post-menopausical women. Although it's not well known by pediatricians, up to 7-15% of all cases happen in pre-puberal girls. We reported three cases of lichen esclerosus. In all three cases, the initial diagnosis was wrong, so the importance of knowing this cutaneous disorder (AU)

ABSTRACT

La litiasis renal es una patología típica del adulto, y menos frecuente en la edad pediátrica, por lo que no siempre se piensa en ella. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 3 años de edad con un cálculo uretral, previamente diagnosticado de infección de orina, que acudió al servicio de urgencias con síntomas de obstrucción urinaria, provocados por la expulsión en ese momento del cálculo (AU)


Urolithiasis is a typically adult disease, infrequent in the paediatric age, so we rarely think about it. We present the case of a 3 years old child with a urethral lithiasis, previously diagnosed of urinary infection, who presented with symptoms of urinary obstruction, caused by the expulsion of a urethral stone at that moment (AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentamos los casos de dos niñas de 13 y 11 años de edad, previamente sanas, que consultaron en nuestro servicio de urgencias pediátricas por presentar úlceras dolorosas genitales agudas que aparecieron en el contexto de un proceso febril. Las exploraciones complementarias descartaron tanto una enfermedad venérea como el resto de causas habituales de úlceras genitales. En ambos casos las lesiones desaparecieron en un periodo de 2 semanas sin secuelas(AU)


We present the cases of two girls, 13 and 11 aged respectively, who had previously been healthy, that consulted in our pediatric emergency because of painful acute genital ulcers that appeared in the context of a febrile process. The complementary examinations ruled out both veneral disease and the other usual causes of genital ulcerations. In both cases, the lesions disappeared in a period of two weeks without sequelae(AU)
