RESUMEN

Introducción:

El traumatismo craneal por maltrato (TCM) se define como todo traumatismo que ocasiona lesiones intracraneales debido a un impacto directo infligido y/o zarandeo, y se caracteriza por la tríada de encefalopatía, hemorragias retinianas y hematoma subdural. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y radiológicas, así como las secuelas de los pacientes diagnosticados de TCM. Pacientes y

métodos:

Estudio descriptivo observacional retrospectivo de los 19 pacientes diagnosticados de TCM en un hospital terciario entre 1990 y 2018, ambos inclusive.

Resultados:

La edad media de los afectados fue de 5,5 meses y existe paridad entre ambos sexos. Las anamnesis aportadas por los cuidadores fueron ausencia de traumatismo (n = 9), antecedente de caída (n = 6) y zarandeo (n = 4). La clínica inicial más prevalente fueron los síntomas graves, y las convulsiones fueron el síntoma más frecuente (n = 8). Quince pacientes presentaron hemorragias retinianas y otros 15, hematoma subdural o higroma. Dos pacientes fallecieron, siete presentaron secuelas en el alta y 10 de los 12 pacientes en los que se realizó seguimiento presentaron secuelas tardías manifestadas como secuelas cognitivas/comportamiento (n = 5) o como secuelas neurológicas (n = 6).

Conclusiones:

Las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y radiológicas son muy similares a las publicadas en la bibliografía. La presencia de secuelas es prevalente y éstas se manifiestan tanto como problemas cognitivos y de comportamiento como por secuelas neurológicas.(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Abusive head trauma (AHT) is defined as an injury to the skull or intracranial contents due to inflicted blunt impact and/or shaking. It is characterized by the triad encephalopathy, retinal haemorrhages and subdural hematoma. The main objective is to know the epidemiological, clinical and radiological characteristics; as well as the short and long term outcomes of patients diagnosed with AHT. Patients and

methods:

It is a descriptive, observational and retrospective study of the 19 patients diagnosed with AHT at a tertiary hospital from 1990 to 2018, both included.

Results:

The mean age of the patients was 5,5 months with parity between both sexes. The principal medical histories reported were absence of trauma (n = 9), history of a short fall (n = 6) and shaking (n = 4). The most frequent initial presentation was severe, and seizures was the main symptom (n = 8). Retinal haemorrhages were present in fifteen patients and subdural hematoma or hygroma in fifteen patients. Two patients died, seven presented short-term outcomes, and ten of the twelve patients who were performed a follow-up presented long-term outcomes. These outcomes were manifested as cognitive or behavioural disorders (n = 5) or as neurological disorders (n = 6).

Conclusions:

The epidemiological, clinical and radiological characteristics found are very similar to those reported in the literature. The prevalence of outcomes is high and they appear as cognitive or behavioural disorders.(AU)
