RESUMO

The first clinical case of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in Cuban HIV-infected patient was described, and the scientific literature indexed in: PUBMED/MEDLINE, LILACS and BIREME were revised. The case presented was a male with HIV infection without preceding opportunistic illnesses, CD4(+) T cell count over 200 cells/mm(3) and clinical symptoms of pain, tingling and numbness in the right hand and wrist for three months. The electrophysiological study was compatible with CTS. The pharmacological treatment did not modify the symptoms and the patient received specific surgical treatment with absolute resolution of symptoms. CTS is a compressive neuropathy that can occur in HIV-positive individuals with as similar frequency as in the general population. The association between HIV infection and CTS is scarcely described in the medical scientific literature and probably does not represent a different phenomenon from what happens in the HIV-negative population. Nevertheless, its clinical recognition among other neurological and muscle-skeletal manifestations in HIV-infected patients is important.

RESUMO

Fundamento: Los factores predictores de mortalidad del traumatismo craneoencefálico pronostican posibilidades de morir o quedar con secuelas graves, pero no predicen el grado de recuperabilidad. Objetivo: Analizar la efectividad de la tomografía axial computarizada de cráneo inicial y de los potenciales evocados en función de la predicción de mejoría clínica a los 6 meses de evolución del traumatismo craneoencefálico. Método: Estudio descriptivo, observacional y prospectivo realizado desde enero y hasta diciembre de 2006, que estudió la efectividad de la tomografía axial computarizada y de los potenciales evocados como posibles factores predictivos de mejoría clínica en la población adulta (64 pacientes) de la provincia de Cienfuegos que sufrió trauma craneoencefálico. Resultados: Pacientes con lesiones menos graves tuvieron posibilidad triplicada de alcanzar mejoría clínica con respecto a pacientes con lesiones más severas. Pacientes con potenciales evocados de resultado normal tuvieron mayor posibilidad de alcanzar mejoría clínica, frente a los que los tuvieron con resultado anormal. Conclusiones: El estudio evidenció valor predictivo de la tomografía axial computarizada y los potenciales evocados, en relación con la aparición de mejoría clínica en el paciente con trauma craneoencefálico(AU)


Background: Mortality predictors in cranioencephalic trauma reveal mortality chances or possible severesequels; but they do not predict rehabilitation possibilities. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of Computer Axial Tomography and evoked potentials to predict clinical improvement six moths aftercranioencephalic trauma. Method: Prospective, observational, descriptive study developed from Januaryto December, 2006, to assess the effectiveness of Computer Axial Tomography and evoked potentials aspossible predictors of clinical improvement in an adult population (64 patients) of Cienfuegos province suffering from cranioencephalic trauma. Results: Patients with less serious lesions had three times more chances ofclinical improvement. Patients with normal evoked potentials had greater chances of clinical improvementcompared with those presenting irregular evoked potentials. Conclusions: The study showed thepredictive value of computer axial tomography and evoked potentials related with clinical improvement inpatients with cranioencephalic trauma(AU)
