ABSTRACT

La encefalomielitis diseminada aguda es una enfermedad inflamatoria-desmielinizante inmunomediada que suele manifestarse tras una infección o vacunación en niños en edad escolar. Típicamente presenta una fase prodrómica con un cuadro pseudogripal seguida de una fase con clínica muy variada, pudiendo aparecer alteraciones neurooftalmológicas como oftalmoplejía o neuritis óptica.La etiología es variada, incluyendo enfermedades tumorales, vasculares, infecciosas, inflamatorias y desmielinizantes. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica y en las características de la resonancia magnética cerebral, prueba de imagen de elección. El estudio del líquido cefalorraquídeo puede servir de ayuda en la orientación del cuadro clínico.El pronóstico es favorable, con excelente respuesta a los corticoides e inmunoglobulinas y con mínimas secuelas a largo plazo en la mayoría de los casos.Presentamos el caso de un varón de 8años con enfermedad desmielinizante aguda por adenovirus cuya manifestación fue un síndrome del ocho y medio.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an immune mediated inflammatory-demyelinizing disease that usually manifests after infection or vaccination in school-age children. It typically presents a prodromal phase with flu-like symptoms, followed by a phase with varied clinical symptoms, neuro-ophthalmological alterations such as ophthalmoplegia or optic neuritis may occur.The differential diagnosis includes tumor, vascular, infectious, inflammatory and demyelinating diseases. Diagnosis is based on the clinical history and the characteristics of brain magnetic resonance imaging, the gold standard test. The study of the cerebrospinal fluid can help to guide the clinical picture.The prognosis is favorable, with an excellent response to corticosteroids and immunoglobulins, with minimal long-term sequelae in most cases.We report the case of an 8-year-old male with acute demyelinating disease due to adenovirus whose manifestation was an eight-and-a-half syndrome.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: El manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico en los pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico que desarrollan una afectación neuropsiquiátrica representa un reto, debido a la heterogeneidad de las formas en que puede presentarse y la ausencia de criterios diagnósticos. Objetivo: Reconocer las formas clínicas de presentación de los síndromes neuroftalmológicos que traducen afectación pontina. Presentación del caso: Hombre de 71 años con antecedente de lupus eritematoso sistémico con afectación neuopsiquiátrica, que de forma aguda desarrolla un cuadro emético en el curso de una emergencia hipertensiva seguido de una parálisis de la mirada horizontal hacia la izquierda, una oftalmoplejía internuclear posterior derecha y una parálisis facial izquierda. En la neuroimagen se constata una afectación multifocal con marcado daño pontino. Conclusiones: Reconocer las formas clínicas de presentación de estos trastornos neuroftalmológicos raros que generalmente se presentan de forma aguda/subaguda permite al neurólogo realizar el diagnóstico topográfico de la lesión a nivel protuberancial con elevada precisión desde la Sala de Urgencias, así como reducir los posibles diagnósticos diferenciales a una etiología vascular, desmielinizante u ocupativa de espacio(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: The diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who develop a neuropsychiatric involvement represents one of the biggest challenges due to the heterogeneity of the ways in which it can occur and the absence of diagnostic criteria. Objective: To recognize the clinical forms of presentation of neurophthalmological syndromes that express pontine involvement. Case presentation: Seventy-one-year-old man with history of systemic lupus erythematosus with neuropsychiatric involvement who acutely develops an emetic episode in the course of a hypertensive emergency followed by a paralysis of the horizontal gaze to the left, a right-sided posterior internuclear ophthalmoplegia and a left facial palsy. In the neuroimaging, a multifocal involvement with marked pontine damage is observed. Conclusions: Recognizing the clinical forms of presentation of these rare neurophthalmological disorders that generally occur in an acute or subacute form allows the neurologist to perform the topographic diagnosis of the lesion at a protuberancial level with high precision from the time when the patient attends the Emergency Department and reduces the possible differential diagnoses to a vascular, demyelinating or occupational etiology of space(AU)
