ABSTRACT

Introducción. El botulismo es un síndrome neuroparalítico hoy en día infrecuente, potencialmente fatal, causado por neurotoxinas de Clostridium botulinum. El origen es alimentario en el 25% de los casos. Caso clínico. Describimos el caso confirmado de botulismo alimentario en una paciente atendida en nuestro hospital en septiembre de 2020 y la sospecha de un segundo caso en un familiar de la paciente, no confirmado éste por las pruebas de laboratorio. La instauración en pocos días de una afectación bilateral de pares craneales, incluyendo disfagia, disnea y disartria, junto con midriasis y tetraparesia graves, precedida de diarrea, constituyó la presentación clínica en el primer caso; mientras que en su familiar cursó con síntomas inespecíficos y transitorios. Constatamos disautonomía consistente en hipotensión arterial en ambos casos. Teniendo en cuenta la situación pandémica en aquel momento, se descartó repetidamente la infección por SARS-CoV-2 antes de plantear alternativas diagnósticas. La neurotoxina B de C. botulinum fue detectada en las heces de la paciente, confirmando el diagnóstico de botulismo, que relacionamos con la ingesta de una conserva casera de alubias. Se completó el diagnóstico diferencial del cuadro descartando otras posibles etiologías. Conclusión. La sospecha clínica temprana, confirmada con los hallazgos de laboratorio y neurofisiológicos y que llevaron al manejo específico de la paciente, fueron cruciales para la evolución favorable. No fue necesario aplicar medidas de salud pública, a excepción de la notificación a sus allegados de la contaminación detectada. Conocer la existencia de esta patología puede contribuir a su pronóstico.(AU)


Introduction. Botulism is a potentially fatal neuroparalytic syndrome caused by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin. The 25% are food-borne botulism cases. Case report. We describe a confirmed case of botulism attended in our hospital in September 2020, together with a second case in a patient’s relative, suspected but not confirmed by laboratory tests. Clinical presentation consisted on general weakness, bilateral cranial palsy, mydriasis, and rapidly progressive tetraparesis in case 1, involving respiratory and swallowing function so she required hospitalization and support treatment. Non specific and transient symptoms occurred in case 2. SARS-CoV-2 infection was initially suspected in both cases due to pandemic situation in our country, ruled out by negative PCR. When B neurotoxin was detected in stool sample of patient 1 we confirmed the diagnosis of food-borne botulism probably linked to home-made conserved beans. Conclusion. Early clinical suspicion, together with laboratory and electromyography findings, and support treatment provided at hospital were crucial for favourable outcome. Being aware of this rare syndrom might contribute to its better management.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la seguridad ocular y sistémica de una combinación de lidocaína 2 por ciento y fenilefrina 1 por ciento administrada por vía intracameral para provocar midriasis intraoperatoria en la cirugía de catarata. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo de serie de casos en 70 ojos de igual número de pacientes sometidos a facoemulsificación con implante de lente intraocular. El grupo midriasis intraoperatoria en la cirugía lo conformaron 35 pacientes dilatados con una inyección intracameral de lidocaína y fenilefrina antes de la cirugía, mientras otros 35 ojos se dilataron de manera tradicional, con un colirio midriático previo. Para la seguridad ocular se evaluaron múltiples parámetros del examen oftalmológico pre- y posoperatorio. Resultados: La presión intraocular, el espesor corneal central, la densidad celular del endotelio corneal y el edema corneal posoperatorio como hallazgo del segmento anterior se comportaron de manera similar en ambos grupos de estudio. Se reportó una complicación transoperatoria en el grupo de manera tradicional y un caso con edema quístico macular posoperatorio en el grupo midriasis intraoperatoria en la cirugía que no representaron diferencias significativas. Conclusión: La inyección de lidocaína más fenilefrina intracameral es una opción segura tanto ocular como sistémica para provocar midriasis durante la facoemulsificación(AU)


Objective: Evaluate the ocular and systemic safety of a combination of 2 percent lidocaine and 1 percent phenylephrine administered intracamerally to achieve intraoperative mydriasis in cataract surgery. Methods: A prospective study was conducted of a case series of 70 patients (70 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. The intraoperative mydriasis group was composed of 35 patients dilated with an intracameral injection of lidocaine and phenylephrine before surgery, whereas another 35 eyes were dilated by the conventional method, with mydriatic eye drops. Ocular safety evaluation was based on the analysis of a wide variety of pre- and postoperative ophthalmological examination parameters. Results: Intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell density and postoperative corneal edema as an anterior segment finding, behaved in a similar manner in both study groups. An intraoperative complication was reported in the conventional method group and a case with postoperative cystoid macular edema in the intraoperative mydriasis group group, neither of them exhibiting significant differences. Conclusion: Intracameral lidocaine plus phenylephrine injection is a safe ocular and systemic option to achieve mydriasis during phacoemulsification(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Comparar los pacientes traumáticos con una puntuación de 3 en la escala de coma de Glasgow (Glasgow Coma Scale, GCS) en función de la reactividad pupilar e investigar los factores asociados a la mortalidad hospitalaria en los pacientes con GCS 3 y midriasis bilateral arreactiva.Método. Estudio observacional, prospectivo y multicéntrico. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes traumáticos recogidos con GCS 3 ingresados en las unidades de cuidados intensivos (UCI) participantes desde marzo 2015 hasta diciembre 2019. Se realizó un análisis de regresión logística para el estudio de los factores asociados a la mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes con GCS 3 puntos y midriasis bilateral arreactiva.Resultados. De los 933 pacientes con GCS 3 puntos, 454 (48,7%) presentaron pupilas simétricas y reactivas, 201 (21,5%) anisocoria arreactiva y 278 (29,8%) midriasis bilateral arreactiva. La mortalidad hospitalaria fue elevada en los 3 grupos: 32,5% con pupilas normales, 54,6% con anisocoria arreactiva y 91,0% con midriasis bilateral arreactiva. La edad, la puntación de 3 o más en el Abbreviated Injury Scale (cabeza) y el shock o shock refractario se aso-ciaron de forma significativa con la mortalidad hospitalaria, siendo la lesión difusa tipo I y II y la lesión masa evacuada factores protectores en los pacientes con 3 puntos en la GCS y midriasis bilateral arreactiva. De los 26 pacientes que sobrevivieron con GCS 3 y midriasis bilateral arreactiva, 12 (46,1%) tuvieron un GCS de 14-15 al alta hospitalaria.Conclusiones. La mortalidad hospitalaria de los pacientes traumáticos con 3 puntos en la GCS y midriasis bilateral arreactiva fue del 91%. La edad, la puntación de 3 o más en el Abbreviated Injury Scale (cabeza) y el shock o shock refractario se asociaron de forma significativa con la mortalidad hospitalaria, siendo la lesión difusa tipo I y II, y la lesión masa evacuada factores protectores en este grupo de pacientes.

Objectives. To compare patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 3 stratified according to pupillary reaction and to explore factors associated with in-hospital death in those with bilateral fixed dilated pupils.Methods. Prospective, observational, multicenter study. We included all patients with trauma and GCS scores of 3 admitted to the intensive care unit from March 2015 to December 2019. Factors associated with in-hospital mortality in the patients with bilateral dilated pupils were explored using multiple regression analysis.Results. Of the 933 patients included, 454 (48.7%) had responsive pupils, 201 (21.5%) had a single fixed dilated pupil, and 278 (29.8%) had bilateral dilation. Hospital mortality was high in all 3 groups: 32.5% in those with normal responsive pupils, 54.6% in those with a single unreactive pupil, and 91.0% in those with bilateral dilation. Factors significantly associated with in-hospital death were age, a score of 3 or more on the Abbreviated Injury Scale for the head, and shock or refractory shock. Types I or II diffuse lesions and evacuated mass lesions were protective in patients with GCS scores of 3 and bilateral dilated pupils. Twelve of the 26 patients (46.1%) with bilateral dilated pupils and GCS scores of 3 had GCS scores of 14 or 15 on discharge from the hospital.Conclusions. The in-hospital mortality was 91% in this study of trauma patients with GCS scores of 3 and bilateral dilated pupils. Factors significantly associated with in-hospital death were age, a score of 3 or more on the Abbreviated Injury Scale for the head, and shock or refractory shock.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia de una combinación de lidocaína 2 por ciento y fenilefrina 1 por ciento administrada intracameralmente para provocar midriasis intraoperatoria en la cirugía de catarata. Métodos: Realizamos un estudio prospectivo, comparativo, de serie de casos en 70 ojos de igual número de pacientes quienes fueron sometidos a cirugía de catarata mediante facoemulsificación con implante de lente intraocular, en el Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología "Ramón Pando Ferrer" entre septiembre del año 2017 y febrero de 2018. 35 pacientes fueron dilatados con una combinación de fenilefrina y lidocaína inyectada en la cámara anterior justo antes de la cirugía (grupo midriáticos intracamerales) y otros 35 ojos se dilataron con un colirio midriático como se realiza cotidianamente y de manera tradicional (grupo midriáticos tópicos). La eficacia se evaluó mediante la medición del diámetro pupilar (pupilometría) realizada con un compás quirúrgico en diferentes momentos de la cirugía en ambos grupos de estudio. Los resultados de ambos grupos se compararon entre sí. Resultados: En ambos grupos de pacientes se lograron diámetros pupilares superiores a los 7 mm justo antes de la capsulorrexis, aunque fueron ligeramente mayor en el grupo midriáticos tópicos (8,17 vs. 7,55 mm). En las mediciones posteriores todas las pupilometrías del grupo midriáticos intracamerales fueron superiores y se mantuvieron por encima de los 7 mm, mientras las del grupo midriáticos tópicos sufrieron una reducción paulatina hasta el final de la cirugía (5,68 mm). Conclusiones: La combinación de lidocaína más fenilefrina aplicada de manera intracameral es efectiva para provocar una midriasis adecuada y mantenida durante la cirugía de catarata(AU)


ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of the combination 2 percent lidocaine / 1 percent phenylephrine administered intracamerally to achieve intraoperative mydriasis in cataract surgery. Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted of a case series of 70 patients (70 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation at Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology from September 2017 to February 2018. Of the total eyes, 35 were dilated with a combination of phenylephrine and lidocaine injected into the anterior chamber just before surgery (MIC group), whereas the remaining 35 were dilated with mydriatic eye drops in the habitual traditional manner (MT group). Efficacy was evaluated in the two study groups measuring the pupil diameter (pupilometry) with a surgical compass at several moments during the surgery. The results for each group were compared. Results: In both groups patients achieved pupil diameters above 7 mm just before capsulorhexis, though values were slightly higher in the MT group (8.17 vs. 7.55 mm). Later measurement showed that in the MIC group all pupilometries were higher, remaining above 7 mm, whereas in the MT group they underwent gradual reduction until the end of surgery (5.68 mm). Conclusions: The combination of lidocaine and phenylephrine administered intracamerally is effective to achieve appropriate, sustained mydriasis during cataract surgery(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Durante la cirugía de catarata, la inducción de la dilatación de la pupila (midriasis) y el mantenimiento de un grado adecuado de esta a lo largo de toda la operación son elementos críticos para la eliminación y el reemplazo exitoso del cristalino. Una pupila pequeña o un cierre pupilar durante la cirugía hacen que esta sea un desafío desde el punto de vista técnico y aumente el riesgo de complicaciones transquirúrgicas, por lo que una midriasis adecuada y mantenida ha permanecido hasta nuestros días como un pilar fundamental para maximizar la seguridad y los resultados refractivos de la cirugía de catarata moderna. Esta midriasis se consigue habitualmente con la aplicación previa de colirios anticolinérgicos y simpaticomiméticos, con los cuales el tiempo de espera para la dilatación pupilar es frecuentemente más largo que el procedimiento quirúrgico; tienen una significativa absorción sistémica que pueden aumentar el riesgo de efectos secundarios cardiovasculares, y el efecto midriático tiende a desaparecer durante la cirugía. Con el objetivo de acceder a la información actualizada sobre los fármacos midriáticos más usados de modo intracameral, sus dosis y formas de aplicación durante la cirugía de catarata, se realiza el presente trabajo de revisión(AU)


ABSTRACT In cataract surgery, induction and maintenance of an adequate degree of pupil dilation (mydriasis) throughout the operation are critical elements for the successful removal and replacement of the crystalline lens. A small pupil or pupil closure during surgery pose a technical challenge and increase the risk of intraoperative complications. This is the reason why adequate, maintained mydriasis has remained to this day a fundamental pillar to maximize both safety and satisfactory refractive results in modern cataract surgery. Mydriasis is normally achieved with the previous application of anticholinergic and sympathomimetic eye drops, for which the waiting time for pupil dilation is often longer than the surgical procedure, they have significant systemic absorption which may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects, and the mydriatic effect tends to vanish during surgery. A bibliographic review was conducted with the purpose of accessing updated information about the most commonly used intracameral mydriatic drugs, their doses and modes of application during cataract surgery(AU)

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pharmacologic mydriasis and Peripheral Iridotomy (PI) on ocular biometry and anterior chamber parameters in primary angle closure suspects. METHODS: In this prospective interventional case series, 21 primary angle closure suspects were enrolled. Intraocular pressure, refraction, ocular biometry (Lenstar, LS900), and anterior chamber parameters (Pentacam HR) were measured at four occasions: before PI (before and after mydriasis with phenylephrine) and two weeks after PI (before and after mydriasis). The study was conducted on both eyes and only one eye per patient, in random, was included in the analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 60±7 years and 17 (81%) were female. There were no significant differences in intraocular pressure, refraction, keratometry, biometric and anterior chamber parameters between groups, except for anterior chamber volume, which showed increments with PI and mydriasis. The corresponding values for anterior chamber volume were as follows: 88.2±13.7mm(3) before PI, undilated; 106.3±18.8 before PI, dilated; 99.0±14.6 after PI, undilated, and 107.4±16.5 after PI, dilated (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed no change in the ocular biometric and anterior chamber parameters including iridocorneal angle after PI and/or pharmacologic mydriasis except for increments in anterior chamber volume. This factor has the potential to be used as a numerical proxy for iris position in evaluating and monitoring patients with primary angle closure suspects after PI.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Anisocorias are a relatively frequent reason for consultation in neuro-ophthalmology units. They remain a diagnostic challenge for specialists as they may be due to several etiological factors. In the absence of other accompanying symptoms, anisocorias are usually due to benign processes. Benign episodic mydriasis (BEM) is an isolated cause of intermittent pupil asymmetry, in which the pathophysiology is still not fully understood, and is predominant in young women with migraine. SUBJECTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS: We describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with BEM, assessed in a neuro-ophthalmology unit in a tertiary hospital. RESULTS: A total of 7 patients were diagnosed with BEM, all of them females, with a mean age of 33 ± 10 yrs. The patients presented with pupil asymmetry (n = 5) and blurred vision (n = 2), and 6 of the 7 patients had unilateral involvement. The duration of impairment varied from a few minutes to 48 hrs. Four patients (57%) had a clinical history of migraine without aura. The episodes in these 4 patients were recurrent (75%), often lasted for a few minutes (75%), and had associated blurred vision (50%). The neuroimaging studies were normal. DISCUSSION: BEM appears predominantly in young women. It is frequently related to a previous history of migraine, and the specialist must consider if it is a concomitant symptom of common migraine, migraine with aura, or ophthalmoplegic migraine. Although BEM has unilateral predominance, there may be alternation of the affected eye or even bilateral impairment during the same episode, which makes us question the adequacy of the term to describe the process. Imaging tests are not recommended in the absence of other accompanying symptoms, or in short-term episodes.

ABSTRACT

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD)[MIM182230] consisting of a heterogeneous and uncommon condition characterised by the classictriad: optic nerve hypoplasia, abnormalities of pituitary hormone, and defects of thebrain midline (including agenesis of the septum pellucidum and/or the corpus callosum; ithas also been described associated cortical malformations, it was referred to as SOD plus syndrome).We report the first known case in which the initial diagnostic sign of SOD was a bilateralmydriasis as a manifestation ofhypoplasia of both optic nerves, pituitary hypoplasia andcerebral dysgenesis with neuronal migration disorder.We discuss thedifferential diagnosis of congenital mydriasis.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 137 pacientes de ambos sexos ingresados en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clínico Quirúrgico Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba, en el periodo de enero 2005 a diciembre 2007, con el diagnóstico de trauma craneoencefálico grave, con el objetivo de conocer la repercusión de un grupo de factores pronósticos predeterminados y su influencia sobre el estado al egreso, así como las causas de muerte. La edad resultó ser una variable significativamente asociada a malos resultados. Las variables clínicas de mayor valor predictivo fueron: baja puntuación en la enfermedad granulomatosa crónica al ingreso, la midriasis paralítica bilateral, la hipotensión y la hipoxia. Además los grados IV y VI de Marshall, mostraron también una relación directa con malos resultados. Los fallecidos representaron el 59.85 por ciento de la serie y la contusión cerebral fue la primera causa de muerte. Se emitieron las conclusiones y recomendaciones pertinentes(AU)


A cross-sectional descriptive study with 137 patients of both sexes was realized in the Provincial Educational Clinical Surgical Hospital Saturnino Lora of Santiago de Cuba, in the period of January 2005 December 2007, with serious cranio-encephalic trauma diagnosis, with the aim of knowing the repercussion of a predetermined group of prognoses factor and their influence about the discharge status, as well as causes of death. Age turned out to be a significantly associated variable to bad results. The clinical variables of greater predictive value were: low score in the GCS to the entrance, the bilateral paralytic mydriasis, hypotension and hypoxia. Besides, degrees IV and VI of Marshall, also showed a direct relation with bad results. The deceases represented the 59,85 percent of the series and the cerebral contusion was the first cause of death. The pertinent conclusions and recommendations were emitted(AU)
