ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Andrés Avelino Cáceres (1836-1923) fue un destacado político y militar peruano que ocupó la presidencia en dos periodos y lideró al ejército peruano durante la Guerra del Pacífico, por lo que es considerado un héroe nacional. Al inicio de su carrera militar, durante el sitio a la ciudad de Arequipa en 1858, sufrió una lesión ocular cuya cicatriz se observa en las fotografías que se le tomaron posteriormente a lo largo de su vida, lo que hizo que fuera apodado "El Tuerto" aunque al parecer su agudeza visual estuvo indemne. En este trabajo describiremos las circunstancias en las que se produjo la lesión oftálmica de Andrés Avelino Cáceres, las secuelas que pudo tener este traumatismo oftálmico y el tratamiento médico que pudo haber recibido, en base al propio relato del héroe y a las imágenes suyas que se conservan.


ABSTRACT Andrés Avelino Cáceres (1836-1923) was a prominent Peruvian politician and military man who held the presidency for two terms and led the Peruvian army during the Pacific War, for which he is considered a national hero. At the beginning of his military career, during the siege of the city of Arequipa in 1856, he suffered an eye injury whose scar can be seen in the photographs that were taken of him later throughout his life, which led to him being nicknamed "El Tuerto". We will describe the circumstances in which the ophthalmic injury of Andrés Avelino Cáceres occurred, the consequences that this ophthalmic trauma could have had and the treatment he could have received, based on the hero's own story and the images of him that are preserved.

ABSTRACT

El acceso transconjuntival asociado a cantotomía lateral ha sido utilizado para permitir una mejor visualización de fracturas del piso de órbita. Esta técnica ha reportado entropión, ectropión y complicaciones en el reposicionamiento tarsal. Para disminuir la morbilidad descrita, hemos complementado este acceso con otra técnica denominada "Cantolisis Lateral" la que ha sido ampliamente utilizada como tratamiento de urgencia para hematoma retrobulbar, con pocos reportes sobre su utilidad en el tratamiento de las fracturas orbitarias. Reportamos los resultados post operatorios de la aplicación de la técnica cantolisis lateral como complemento al acceso transconjuntival en una serie de casos de 16 pacientes. La distopía cantal y la discontinuidad del tarso inferior fueron las complicaciones más frecuentes reportadas. Sin embargo, los pacientes no se percataron de ellas. No se reportaron ectropión ni entropión.


Transconjunctival approach associated with lateral canthotomy has been used to allow a better visualization of orbital floor fractures. This technique has reported entropion, ectropion and complications in tarsal repositioning. To decrease the described morbidity, we have complemented this approach with another technique called "Lateral Cantholysis" which has been widely used as an emergency treatment for retrobulbar hematoma, with few reports about its usefulness in the treatment of orbital fractures. We report the postoperative results of the application of the lateral cantholysis technique as a complement to the transconjunctival approach in a case series of 16 patients. Cantal dystopia and lower tarsal discontinuity were the most frequent complications reported. However, patients were not aware of them. No ectropion or entropion were reported.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La reconstrucción de las paredes orbitarias fracturadas es compleja debido a la gran cantidad de parámetros volumétricos que posee. Una restitución inadecuada de ellas habitualmente está asociada a secuelas postquirúrgicas en el paciente. El contar con herramientas que optimicen la restitución de la forma anatómica de la órbita en su reconstrucción es de vital importancia, y la utilización de nuevas tecnologías ha permitido mejorar los resultados quirúrgicos, tanto anatómicos como funcionales. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar dos herramientas quirúrgicas que permiten optimizar los resultados terapéuticos en pacientes con fractura de órbita, que son el modelo estereolitográfico con imagen en espejo y la tomografía computada intraoperatoria. Se presentan las características de estas herramientas, su utilización en tres casos de pacientes con fractura orbitaria y los resultados obtenidos en el post operatorio.


ABSTRACT: The reconstruction of fractured orbital walls is complex due to the many volumetric parameters involved. An inadequate restitution of these walls may be associated with postsurgical sequelae in the patient. Is vitally important to count with tools that optimize the restitution of the orbit's anatomic shape during its reconstruction, and the use of new technologies has allowed the improvement of the surgical results, both anatomical and functional. The aim of this article is to show two surgical tools that allow to optimize the therapeutic results in patients with orbital fracture, which are stereolithographic models with mirror image technique, and intraoperative computed tomography. Their characteristics, their use in three cases of patients with orbital fractures, and the postoperative results are shown.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: El neumomediastino se define como la presencia de aire o gas dentro de los planos fasciales del mediastino. Por lo general, es un fenómeno secundario a perforaciones traumáticas del tracto aerodigestivo. El neumomediastino secundario a una fractura orbitaria es un evento raro. Se asocia a complicaciones potencialmente mortales como el neumotórax, el neumopericardio y la mediastinitis. Objetivo: Describir un caso de neumomediastino secundario a una fractura aislada de piso orbitario y su manejo médico-quirúrgico. Caso clínico: Paciente de sexo femenino de 42 años que sufre traumatismo en regiones facial, cervical y torácica desarrollando secundariamente un enfisema subcutáneo panfacial y un neumomediastino, el cual se resuelve exitosamente. Discusión: El neumomediastino secundario a una fractura aislada de piso orbitario es un evento muy raro. El aire puede descender a lo largo de los espacios fasciales hasta el mediastino. En este sentido, sonarse la nariz es un factor de riesgo para desarrollar esta pa-tología. Conclusión: Ocurrido un trauma maxilofacial puede presentarse enfisemas de espacios profundos de la cabeza, cuello e incluso el mediastino.


Introduction: Pneumomediastinum is defined as the presence of air or gas within the fascial planes of the mediastinum. It is usually a phenomenon secondary to traumatic perforations of the aerodigestive tract. Pneumomediastinum secondary to an orbital fracture is a rare event. And it is related to life-threatening complications such as pneumothorax, pneumopericardium and mediastinitis. Aim: To describe a case of pneumomediastinum secondary to an isolated orbital floor fracture and its medical-surgical management. Clinical case: A 42-year-old female patient who suffers trauma to the facial, cervical and thoracic regions, secondary development of a subcutaneous panfacial emphysema and pneumomediastinum, which resolves successfully. Discussion: Pneumomediastinum following an isolated orbital floor fracture is a very rare event. The air can descend along the fascial spaces to the mediastinum. In this sense, blowing your nose is a risk factor to develop this pathology. Conclusion: After a maxillofacial trauma, emphysema of the deep spaces of the head, neck and even the mediastinum can occur

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence and evolution of diplopia as a complication of orbital fractures in adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A review was conducted on medical records of all consecutive adults with orbital fracture referred between January 2014 and December 2015. An analysis was made of the incidence of diplopia secondary to fracture in the acute phase and its evolution. A descriptive study was performed on the variables related to patients, fractures, and fracture and diplopia treatment. RESULTS: The study included 39patients with a mean age of 48years (17-85). Of all the patients, 17 (43.6%) presented with diplopia in the acute phase. Differences were found between the groups with and without diplopia in relation to muscle entrapment diagnosed by orbital computed tomography, duction limitation, and fracture surgery ≤1week (P=.02, P=.00, P=.04, respectively). Out of the 17patients with diplopia, 12 had a mean follow-up of 18weeks (1-72), and in 10 (83.3%) diplopia was resolved in a mean time of 10weeks (1-72). There were spontaneous resolution in 4 (33.3%) patients, and resolution after fracture surgery in 4 (57%) of the 7 that underwent surgery. In 4cases (33.3%) prisms were prescribed, and 2 (16.6%) required strabismus surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Diplopia secondary to orbital fracture in adults is frequent, but it is resolved in most cases spontaneously or after fracture surgery. A few patients will require prisms and/or strabismus surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Orbital emphysema, or the presence of air in orbital tissues, is normally associated with an injury although it can arise when a Valsalva maneuver causes an increase in upper airway pressure. This potential complication of an orbital wall fracture, usually in the ethmoid bone, occurs in 50% of such cases. On fracture, air passes from the nasal fossa, sinuses, or subcutaneous tissue. The condition is benign and transient in most cases, and loss of vision is rare. No protocol for treating orbital emphysema with serious complications in which vision is affected has been established. We report 9 cases of orbital emphysema, describing events leading to the fractures, radiologic findings, and treatments.


OBJETIVO: El enfisema orbitario, presencia de aire en la órbita, se asocia normalmente a un traumatismo, aunque en ocasiones puede ocurrir de forma espontánea por una maniobra de Valsalva, con el aumento de presión en la vía aérea superior. Es una complicación potencial de las fracturas de la pared orbitaria, y se observa hasta en el 50% de ellas. Se produce por el paso de aire de las fosas nasales y/o senos nasales a la órbita o al tejido subcutáneo, y la fractura de la pared etmoidales la causa más frecuente. En la mayoría de los casos se trata de un fenómeno benigno y transitorio, que rara vez evoluciona hacia la pérdida de visión. No obstante, en los casos graves con afectación de la visión no existe un protocolo establecido de tratamiento. Presentamos nueve casos de enfisema orbitario en los que exponemos los mecanismos implicados en las fracturas, los hallazgos radiológicos y las indicaciones terapéuticas.

ABSTRACT

Background: The selection of the biomaterial to be used for reconstruction of orbital floor fractures depends on several factors such as the size of the defect, walls involved, internal contours, restoration of appropriate volume, elapsed time of the trauma and surgeon's experience. A treatment option is the use of Marlex® mesh. Case report: We report an 18 years old male victim of physical aggression, referred to the emergency service, with an orbital floor trauma. Marlex® mesh was used for reconstruction of the defect. Postoperative clinical assessment and CT scans performed at 30 and 180 days, showed full functional recovery.


Introducción: La selección del material biológico que se utilizará para la reconstrucción de las fracturas del suelo de órbita se relaciona con varios factores como: el tamaño del defecto, las paredes que participan, la adaptación de los contornos internos, la restauración del volumen adecuado, el tiempo transcurrido del trauma y la experiencia del cirujano. Una opción de tratamiento es el uso de la malla de Marlex® para la reconstrucción de defectos de suelo de la órbita. Caso clínico: El presente estudio reporta un caso de paciente de sexo masculino, 18 años, llevado a la sala de urgencias del Hospital da Cidade de Passo Fundo-RS, Brasil, víctima de una agresión física, presentando traumatismo de piso de órbita en que se utilizó para la reconstrucción una malla Marlex®. El control post-operatorio clínico y la tomografía de 30 y 180 días mostraron una función totalmente restaurada.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente a quien la caída de un coco y el consecuente traumatismo sobre su cara. produjo una fractura del piso orbitario con atrapamiento muscular, diplopía no diagnosticada y confundida con un aneurisma cerebral. Se hacen consideraciones sobre este tipo de accidentes en playas arenosas donde abundan cocoteros. La comparación de su frecuencia con ataques de tiburón y acerca de cómo un artículo médico puede ser tergiversado por el autor y convertido en noticia de prensa como para obtener el Ig Premio Nobel de Medicina con base a "una investigación que no puede o no debe ser duplicada" logros que primero hacen reir y después pensar e intertan celebrar lo inusual, imaginativo y espolear el interés por la ciencia, la medicina y la tecnología


We present the clinical case of a patient who, after being hit the face by a falling coconut, with consequent trauma to his face, fractured his orbital floor with muscle entrapment and undiagnosed diplopia which was mistaken for a brain aneurysm. We make considerations about such accidents on sandy beaches where coconut trees abound, compare its frequency with shark attacks and discuss how a medical article can be misrepresented by its autor and become news in order to obtain the nomination for the Ig Nobel Prize for medicine based on "research that cannot or should not be duplicated; achievements that first make you laugh and then make you and try to celebrate the unusual, imaginative and spur interest in science, medicine and technology
