RESUMO

Demons syndrome is defined by hydrothorax and ascites associated with a benign genital tumor that resolves after resection of the tumor. However, Demons syndrome with pericardial effusion has never been reported. Intensive care unit-acquired weakness is a neurological sequela to sepsis/systemic inflammatory response syndrome, or multi-organ failure. A 47-year-old, nulligravid, Japanese woman, was transferred to our hospital for refractory heart failure and a ruptured ovarian tumor. She had an 11-cm left ovarian tumor with ascites, hydrothorax, and pericardial effusion; she was intubated for pulmonary hypertension and admitted to the intensive care unit for septic shock. Four days later, a left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed for Demons syndrome with pericardial effusion. The histological diagnosis indicated a serous cystadenoma with fibrotic changes. Following surgery, ventilator weaning was delayed due to intensive care unit-acquired weakness. The association between Demons syndrome and pericardial effusion should be recognized to ensure early treatment and for preventing sequalae from the disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ingestion cases are increasing in elderly persons. Herein, we report a rare case of ingestion of a safety pin by an elderly person. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was an 87-year-old bedridden woman who had fever with left pleural effusion. Chest X-ray revealed a foreign body, confirmed to be a safety pin, in the cervical esophagus. A contrast multidetector row computed tomography scan revealed that the opened safety pin penetrated the left subclavian artery, leading to the diagnosis of an esophageal foreign body penetrating the left subclavian artery. The safety pin was removed, and the subclavian artery aneurysm caused by the penetration was embolized by interventional radiology. After treatment, she was returned to the nursing home on postoperative day 8. CONCLUSION: Penetration by ingestion of a safety pin is rare; in this case, safe treatment was possible due to a team of certified specialist physicians and surgeons.
