ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓ: Els abscessos parafaringi I retrofaringi són infeccions profundes del coll que solen associar-se a l'antecedent d'infecció de vies respiratòries altes. Ocasionalment poden ser causats per traumatismes com els que comporten algunes manipulacions mèdiques, per exemple, la col·locació de mascareta laríngia, molt utilitzada en cirurgia pediàtrica. CAS CLÍNIC: Es presenta el cas d'una nena de 6 anys amb torticoli de 8 dies d'evolució I febre de 24 hores, sense cap altra simptomatologia. La pacient havia estat intervinguda quirúrgicament sota anestèsia general amb col·locació de mascareta laríngia 36 hores abans de l'inici del quadre, sense incidències. En l'exploració, destaca una contractura cervical bilateral amb flexió del cap a la dreta, I a l'analítica es troba leucocitosi amb predomini de neutròfils I augment de la proteïna C reactiva. Es fa una ressonància magnètica cervical en què s'observa un abscés d'extensió parafaríngia I retrofaríngia, I s'indica una punció percutània ecoguiada de l'àrea abscessificada, que resulta positiva per a S. pyogenes. S'ingressa la pacient amb antibioteràpia endovenosa I s'aconsegueix la millora clínica I radiològica de l'abscés. COMENTARIS: Els abscessos cervicals profunds s'han de considerar davant de simptomatologia obstructiva I inflamatòria de la via aèria I el tracte digestiu superior, I símptomes locals o dolor al moviment cervical. El diagnòstic es basa en les troballes radiològiques, analítiques I microbiològiques, I cal instaurar antibioteràpia endovenosa empírica amb cobertura per a estafilococs, estreptococs I anaerobis. Tot I que aquests abscessos en la majoria de casos són secundaris a l'extensió d'infeccions del tracte respiratori superior, hi ha altres causes que cal considerar


INTRODUCCIÓN: Los abscesos retrofaríngeo y parafaríngeo son infecciones profundas del cuello que suelen asociarse al antecedente de infección de vías respiratorias altas. Ocasionalmente pueden ser causados por traumatismos como los que resultan de algunos procedimientos médicos, por ejemplo, la colocación de la mascarilla laríngea, muy utilizada en cirugía pediátrica. CASO CLÍNICO: Se presenta el caso de una niña de 6 años con tortícolis de 8 días de evolución y fiebre de 24 horas, sin otra sintomatología. La paciente había sido intervenida quirúrgicamente bajo anestesia general con colocación de mascarilla laríngea 36 horas antes del inicio del cuadro, sin incidencias. A la exploración, destaca una contractura cervical bilateral con flexión de la cabeza hacia la derecha, y en la analítica se encuentra leucocitosis con predominio neutrofílico y ligero aumento de proteína C reactiva. Se realiza una resonancia magnética cervical donde se observa un absceso de extensión parafaríngea y retrofaríngea, y se practica una punción percutánea ecoguiada de la zona abscesificada, que resulta positiva para S. pyogenes. La paciente ingresa con antibioterapia endovenosa y se consigue mejoría clínica y radiológica del absceso. COMENTARIO: Los abscesos cervicales profundos deben considerarse ante sintomatología obstructiva e inflamatoria de la vía aérea y del tracto digestivo superior, y síntomas locales o dolor al movimiento del cuello. El diagnóstico se basa en los hallazgos radiológicos, analíticos y microbiológicos y se debe instaurar antibioterapia endovenosa empírica con cobertura para estafilococos, estreptococos y anaerobios. Aunque en la mayoría de casos estos abscesos son secundarios a la extensión de infecciones del tracto respiratorio superior, existen otras causas que deben considerarse


INTRODUCTION: Retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal abscesses are deep neck infections that are usually associated with superior airway infections in children. However, they could also be caused by injuries secondary to medical procedures such as the placement of laryngeal masks, which are frequently used in pediatric surgery. CASE REPORT: A 6-year-old female presented to the emergency room with an 8-day history of torticollis and 24 hours of fever with no other associated symptomatology. She had undergone surgery under general anesthesia using a laryngeal mask 36 hours prior, without immediate complications. In the physical examination, the patient had bilateral cervical contracture with right bending. The blood examination showed leukocytosis with predominance of neutrophils and increase of C-reactive protein. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an abscess with parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal extension, and a percutaneous ultrasound-guided puncture of the abscessed area was performed, which resulted positive for S. pyogenes. The patient received intravenous antibiotic therapy and achieved clinical and radiological resolution of the abscess. COMMENTS: Deep neck abscesses should be considered in children with obstructive and inflammatory symptomatology of the airway and upper digestive tract and also local symptoms as neck pain. Diagnosis is based on radiological, analytical and microbiological findings and empirical intravenous antibiotics, with coverage for staphylococcus, streptococcus and anaerobics. Although in most cases these abscesses are secondary to the spread of upper respiratory tract infections, other causes should be considered

ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de un varón joven cuya clínica inicial fue ictus de repetición y en el que el estudio radiológico mostró una osificación completa del ligamento estilohioideo bilateral, articulado doblemente en su extensión y que comprimía la carótida interna (AU)


We report a case of a young man with transient syncopes as a first clinical manifestation. Neck radiographic examination showed a bilateral calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, doubly articulated in its extension and compressing the internal carotid artery (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term anatomic and functional results after partial and total autologous cartilage palisade type III tympanoplasties to assess the efficacy of cartilage palisades in preventing recurrent cholesteatoma. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective data bank and patient review. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: The study population included all patients with more than 36 months follow-up who underwent tympanoplasty or tympanomastoidectomy for previously untreated cholesteatoma using partial or total autologous cartilage palisade graft associated with a reconstruction of the ossicular chain from October 1, 1992, to October 31, 1998. INTERVENTION: Tympanoplasty or tympanomastoidectomy using autologous cartilage palisade graft for partial or total reconstruction of the tympanic membrane and the ossicular chain. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anatomic results, i.e., closure of the perforation, rate of retraction pockets, recurrent cholesteatoma, and reperforation rate related to the use of autologous cartilage were clinically evaluated. Postoperative speech reception thresholds, speech discrimination scores, and postoperative air-bone gap were compared with preoperative levels. The outcomes of canal wall up and canal wall down procedures were compared. RESULTS: Closure of the tympanic membrane was achieved in 98.3% of patients. Speech reception thresholds did not change significantly. Speech discrimination scores were stable or improved in all patients. Postoperative air-bone gap was less than 10 dB in 29.8% of patients and between 11 and 20 dB in 32.3%. The complication rate of the tympanoplasty in general was 0.67%. The rate of recurrences of cholesteatoma was 2.2%. No complications could be related to the use of cartilage. CONCLUSIONS: The cartilage palisade technique is effective for the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane and also prevents new retractions and recurrences of cholesteatoma. The functional results show that autologous cartilage grafts are able to transmit sound.
