ABSTRACT

Con el fin de estudiar el tipo de lesiones óseas en pacientes con lepra de alta terapéutica y su evolución, se ha estudiado a un grupo de 16 pacientes con antecedentes de lepra, mediante las radiografías realizadas a lo largo de su evolución. Las lesiones que se observaron con mayor frecuencia en los pies fueron las reabsorciones óseas en falanges (50% de los pacientes), osteoartritis infecciosa (43%), y pérdida o amputaciones de dedos, incluso en algunos casos con pérdida completa del antepié (5 pacientes). En las manos la lesión más frecuente en nuestra muestra fue del adelgazamiento de falanges con pérdida parcial de uno o más dedos. A lo largo de la evolución radiográfica se puede apreciar el empeoramiento progresivo de las reabsorciones óseas, con mayor adelgazamiento de falanges y metatarsianos a lo largo de los años hasta llegar a producir amputaciones (AU)


A study of 16 leprosy patients and their radiological files was carried out to evaluate the bone lesions in leprosy. The most frequent lesions were bone resorption in phalanges (50%) of patients), infectious osteoarthritis (43%), and finger lose or amputation, even complete lose of phalanges and metatarsals (5 patients). The most frequent lesion in hands was the phalanx narrowing, with partial amputation of one or more. We can appreciate the progressive worsening of the lesions following the radiographic evolution: year-by-year the bone resorption became increasingly severe, and finally amputation appears (AU)

ABSTRACT

A man with lumbar back pain underwent magnetic resonance imaging that showed vertebral and iliac bone lesions. A vertebral biopsy was performed in order to rule out malignancy. Pathology showed non-necrotizing granulomas. The patient had been diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis 20 years earlier and this time the diagnosis made was vertebral sarcoidosis. Osseous infiltration is seen in 13% of patients with sarcoidosis, most of them with long-term disease. Iliac sarcoidosis has seldom been reported, and there are no cases of both iliac and vertebral sarcoidosis in the literature.

ABSTRACT

Antiphospholipid syndrome can be associated with several neurological manifestations. The most common symptom is headache. It has also been associated with cognitive dysfunction, probably due to ischemia. A high prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies has been found in patients with epilepsy and in transverse myelitis. The most common thrombotic manifestation is stroke. Venous thrombosis can also be found, yet it is less frequent. A stroke in a young person obliges to rule out the antiphospholipid syndrome. The neurological manifestations can mimic multiple sclerosis. Thus, determination of antiphospholipid antibodies is recommended in the study of patients with atypical manifestations of multiple sclerosis. Other manifestations associated with antiphospholipid antibodies include chorea, neurosensorial deafness, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and psychotic disorders.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome antifosfolipídico puede asociarse a diversas manifestacionesneurológicas. El síntoma más frecuente es la cefalea. También seha asociado a disfunción cognitiva, probablemente de origen isquémico.Se ha encontrado una alta prevalencia de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicosen los pacientes con epilepsia y también en la mielitis transversa.La manifestación trombótica más frecuente es la enfermedadcerebrovascular. También pueden producirse trombosis venosas, peroson menos frecuentes. La existencia de un accidente isquémico cerebralen una persona joven obliga a descartar la existencia de un síndromeantifosfolipídico. En ocasiones pueden existir manifestacionesneurológicas que semejan una esclerosis múltiple, por lo que en elestudio de los pacientes con esclerosis múltiple atípica se recomiendala determinación de anticuerpos antifosfolipídicos. Otras manifestacionesque se han asociado con los anticuerpos antifosfolipídicosson la corea, la neuropatía óptica, la hipertensión intracraneal idiopática,la sordera neurosensorial, el síndrome de Guillain-Barré y lostrastornos psicóticos
