RESUMO

La enfermedad aislada del seno esfenoidal constituye sólo el 2%-3% de toda la patología sinusal y en la mayoría de los pacientes es de tipo inflamatorio. Asimismo, es poco frecuente la Invasión fúngica de dicho seno esfenoidal en un individuo sano e inmunocompetente, siendo extremadamente rara en niños. Nos planteamos recordar esta patología haciendo presentación de nuestra última experiencia y obtener conclusiones para mantener siempre un espectro amplio en cuanto a los diagnósticos diferenciales a tener en cuenta. El presente caso clínico expone la experiencia vivida en nuestro centro con una patología poco frecuente como es la aspergilosis esfenoidal aislada, con los antecedentes personales, características clínicas, métodos diagnósticos, pronóstico y tratamientos óptimos. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 73 años con historia de cefaleas intensas de larga evolución inicialmente sensibles a tratamiento analgésico, de localización retroocular bilateral, y que en los últimos 2 meses se hacen resistentes al tratamiento y comienzan a irradiarse a región naso-frontal derecha con mayor intensidad y con isonofobia, fotofobia, cortejo neurovegetativo, pérdida de peso, dolor cervical frecuente, intenso prurito ocular y ocasionalmente visión borrosa. Sin rinorrea, fiebre, ni ningún otro síntoma propio de un cuadro infeccioso. Los síntomas iniciales de la enfermedad del seno esfenoidal son poco precisos, de instauración insidiosa y crónica, y difíciles de caracterizar. Hasta el 70%, se manifiestan por alteraciones visuales que generalmente, Indican complicaciones inmediatas. Está asociada a peor pronóstico que en otras localizaciones por la posible extensión intracraneal precoz. Así, podemos considerar que la aspergilosis fulminante de senos paranasales en general, y del seno esfenoidal particularmente, representa una importante causa de morbi/mortalidad en pacientes cuyo estado inmunitario es deficiente, pero actualmente el patrón...


Isolated sphenoid sinus disease represents only 2-3% of the total sinus pathology and when it is present, it usually has an inflammatory origin. It seldom affects an immunocompetent person, and it is very rare in children. Our goal is to draw attention to this pathology introducing our recent experience, and to draw conclusions in order to always bear in mind a wide spectrum of possible differential diagnoses. We present the clinical experience at our hospital with a rare pathology such as isolated sphenoidal aspergillosis, reviewing the patient's personal background, clinical features, diagnosis techniques, prognosis and optimal therapy. Our patient is a 73-year-old male with long-term intense headache located in the frontal and periocular regions. Initially, common analgesics were strong enough to relieve the pain, but eventually it became more and more intense, with no response to medication. In addition, he presented cervical pain, photophobia, sonophobia, weight loss, ocular tingling and blurred vision. There was no rhinorrea, fever, or any other infectious symptom. Initial sphenoid sinus pathology symptoms are not very precise, with a latent and chronic set up, and theyare also hard to characterize. Up to 70% of patients show visual disturbances, which generally derive in immediate complications. Prognosis is worse than in other location because of early intracranial dissemination. Thus, sphenoid aspergillosis can be considered as being a potentially lethal disease in immunodeficient patients, but nowadays, fungal behavior is changing. This was the case here, as the patient remained immunocompetent.

RESUMO

Pneumoparotiditis is related to the cause of an infrequent increase in the size of the parotid gland due to the entrance of air through the Stenon duct following an increase in the pressure in the oral cavity. It is observed in musicians who play wind instruments, glass blowers, patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic techniques, in adolescents that provoke it intentionally, and in mentally handicapped people as found in the clinical case reported here. The symptoms are usually non-specific and the diagnosis is confirmed with an axial tomography. The interest in this clinical case lies in the peculiar form of presentation and its diagnostic confirmation through the use of CT imaging.

RESUMO

La neumoparotiditis supone una causa infrecuente de aumento de tamaño de la glándula parótida debido a la entrada de aire por el conducto de Stenon secundaria al incremento de presión en la cavidad oral. Se observa en músicos de instrumentos de viento, sopladores de vidrio, pacientes sometidos a técnicas diagnósticas y/o terapéuticas y, de forma intencionada, en adolescentes y disminuidos psíquicos, como en el caso clínico que presentamos. La clínica suele ser inespecífica y el diagnóstico se confirma mediante tomografía computarizada. El interés del caso clínico radica en la particular forma de presentación y la confirmación diagnóstica mediante la imagen de la tomografía
