RESUMEN
Presentamos el caso de una niña de 12 años que fue tratada en nuestro servicio, quejándose de cefalea prolongada acompañada de vómitos y diplopia durante los últimos 10 días. En examinación neurológica se notó tremor en la extremidad superior derecha y rigidez cervical. Lasometimos a TC craneal e IRM, cuyos resultados indicaron la existencia de una lesión frontotemporal gigante. La lesión era heterogénea con calcificaciones y hemosiderina, rodeada de edema y provocando desplazamiento de la media línea. Tras la administración de gadolinio se aumentó un poco la señal. El último hallazgo nos hizo concluir que había una anormalidad vascular. La paciente se operó mediante craneotomía frontotemporal izquierda. Logramos extirpar la lesión totalmente. La histopatología demostró la presencia de una MAV. En el posoperatorio, la paciente estaba neurológicamente intacta, pero se notó una colección subcutánea de líquido cefalorraquídeo que se trató con drenaje sin ningún problema. Aunque el tratamiento quirúrgico de una MAV gigante y situada profundamente en el hemisferio dominante del habla y de las destrezas motoras puede resultar peligroso provocando daño neurológico, una intervención quirúrgica cuidadosa es muy posible que tenga resultado favorable (AU)
ABSTRACT
We report on a case of a 12-year-old girl that was admitted under our care complaining of headache for over a month which was accompanied by vomiting and diplopia over the last 10 days. On neurological examination a right upper limb tremor and cervical rigidity were noted. CT and MRI scan was performed and revealed a giant left front temporal lesion. The lesion was heterogenous with calcifications and hemosidirin, surrounded by brain swelling and causing midline shift. There was little enhancement after gadolinium administration. The last finding led us to consider the presence of a vascular abnormality as a possible diagnosis. The patient was operated upon via a left fronto-temporal craniotomy. We managed to excise the lesion totally. Histopathology revealed the presence of an AVM. Postoperatively the patient was neurologically intact but a subcutaneous collection of CSF was noted that was successfully treated by drainage. Although surgical treatment of deeply seated giant AVM’s in the dominant hemisphere of speech and motor-sensory area have a relative high proportion of postoperative neurological deficit, careful surgical intervention can produce excellent outcome (AU)
