Objetivo: Avaliar o índice de sucesso do tratamento da gravidez ectópica com o protocolo de dose única do metotrexato e verificar sua correlação com variáveis clínicas e dados dos exames complementares. Métodos: É um estudo epidemiológico observacional, analítico, retrospectivo, de delineamento transversal. Foi realizado de janeiro de 2014 a agosto de 2020 em um hospital público, de ensino, em nível terciário, do Sul do Brasil. Em 73 casos com diagnóstico de gestação ectópica íntegra, foi utilizado o protocolo de dose única de metotrexato intramuscular, com a dose de 50 mg/m2 de superfície corporal. As variáveis do estudo foram relacionadas ao sucesso do tratamento e abordaram as características clínicas na admissão, dos exames complementares e do tratamento realizado. As variáveis foram comparadas por análise de regressão de Poisson. O nível de significância estabelecido foi de p < 0,05. Resultados: O índice de sucesso foi de 83,6%, e em nove casos foi necessária uma segunda dose da medicação. Nível de ß-hCG inicial superior a 5.000 mUI/mL foi relacionado a menor chance de sucesso (odds ratio ajustado de 0,20 [0,05-0,95]). Tamanho da imagem anexial, presença de líquido livre na cavidade abdominal e demais variáveis estudadas não afetaram a chance de sucesso do tratamento. Conclusão: O protocolo de dose única de metotrexato mostrou-se uma opção válida para o tratamento da gestação ectópica íntegra, notadamente quando o nível de ß-hCG inicial é inferior 5.000 mUI/mL.
Objective: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the success rate of treatment of ectopic pregnancy with the single-dose methotrexate protocol and to verify its correlation with clinical variables and complementary exam data. Methods: This is a retrospective epidemiological observational analytical cross-sectional study. It was carried out from January 2014 to August 2020 in a tertiary level teaching hospital in southern Brazil. In 73 cases with a diagnosis of intact ectopic pregnancy, the intramuscular methotrexate single-dose protocol was applied with a dose of 50 mg/m2 of body surface. The study variables were related to the success of the treatment and addressed the clinical characteristics on admission, the complementary exams and the treatment performed. The variables were compared by Poisson regression analysis. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The success rate was 83.6%, and in nine cases a second dose of the medication was necessary. An initial ß-hCG level greater than 5,000 mIU/mL was related to a lower chance of success (adjusted odds ratio of 0.20 [0.05- 0.95]). The size of the adnexal image, the presence of free fluid in the abdominal cavity and other variables studied did not affect the chance of a successful treatment. Conclusion: The methotrexate single-dose protocol proved to be a valid option for the treatment of intact ectopic pregnancy, notably when the initial ß-hCG level is below 5,000 mIU/mL.

RESUMEN La hernia vesical es una entidad asociada a la hernia inguinal, con predisposición de lado derecho, en un porcentaje de 0,5 a 3%, hasta 10% en hombres, y a partir de la quinta a séptima década de vida1. La mayoría son pequeñas; la fisiopatología más común es la obstrucción mientras que la hiperplasia prostática es la principal etiología. La presentación clínica es poco específica, y el diagnóstico es en la mayoría de los casos transoperatorio. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de género masculino de 64 años, con antecedente patológico de enfermedad de Parkinson, hernia inguinal izquierda reducible hace 5 años. Acudió a consulta médica por manifestar dolor abdominal de moderada intensidad, más aumento de volumen en región inguinoescrotal izquierda. Al realizar el examen físico se constató una hernia inguinoescrotal izquierda no reducible. Con el diagnóstico de hernia inguinal incarcerada se realizó una exploración quirúrgica, con hallazgos de hernia inguinoescrotal de gran tamaño con contenido vesical y epiplón incarcerado con cambios de coloración. Se realizó entonces la reparación de la hernia. La evolución posoperatoria fue satisfactoria sin complicaciones.
ABSTRACT Bladder hernia is a condition associated with inguinal hernia, usually right-sided, in 0.5 to 3% of the cases and up to 10% in men between the fifth and seventh decade of life. Most hernias are small; the most common pathophysiology is obstruction while prostatic hyperplasia is the main etiology. The clinical presentation is unspecific, and the diagnosis is usually made during surgery. We report the case of a 64-year-old male patient with a history of Parkinson's disease and reducible left inguinal hernia 5 years before, who sought medical advice due to abdominal pain of moderate intensity, with increased volume in the left inguinoscrotal region.On physical examination a diagnosis of left-sided non-reducible inguinoscrotal hernia was made. With the diagnosis of incarcerated inguinal hernia the patient underwent surgical exploration which showed a large inguinoscrotal hernia containing the bladder and incarcerated omentum with color changes. The hernia was repaired, and the patient evolved with favorable outcome.

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) from China and compare these features with patients from Europe/North America. Methods: We reviewed case reports published between 1990 and 2020 with the key words of "Takotsubo syndrome" "stress cardiomyopathy" "apical balloon syndrome" and "broken heart syndrome", in Wanfang, CNKI, Pubmed and Web of Science databases, and 1 294 articles were identified, including 128 articles reporting 163 cases in China and 1 166 articles reporting 1 256 cases in Europe/North America. The characteristics of demographics, triggers, symptoms, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, left ventriculogram,coronary angiography, treatment and prognosis were analyzed and compared between Chinese and European/North American cases. Results: A total of 1 294 articles (1 419 cases: 163 from China, 1 256 from Europe/North America) were included in the final analysis. The characteristics of Chinese cases included: (1) demographic:the age was (59.6±16.9) years, which was similar with that of European/North American ((59.7±17.4) years, P=0.90), and female accounting for 78.5% (128/163), which was lower than that of European/North American (85.4% (1 073/1 256), P=0.02). (2) Triggers:mental triggers accounted for 48.5% (79/163), physical triggers accounted for 43.6% (71/163), and no triggers accounted for 7.9% (13/163), respectively. Compared with Europe/North America, the ratio of patients with mental triggers was higher in China, while the ratio of patients with physical triggers and no triggers was lower (P<0.05). (3) Symptoms: chest pain (52.8% (86/163)), chest tightness (35.0% (57/163)), shortness of breath (33.1% (54/163)), dizziness (16.0% (26/163)), sweating (15.3% (25/163)), palpitations (12.3% (20/163)), syncope (9.2% (15/163)) abdominal pain/diarrhea (8.6% (14/163)), hypotension (7.4% (12/163)), and fatigue (1.2% (2/163)) were illustrated in sequence. Compared with patients in Europe/North America, the ratio of patients with chest tightness, dizziness, sweating, palpitations, abdominal pain/diarrhea was higher in Chinese patients, while the ratio of patients with hypotension was lower in Chinese patients (P<0.05). (4) Electrocardiogram: main manifestations were myocardial ischemia symptoms, such as ST-segment elevation (63.8% (104/163)), T wave inversion (46.0% (75/163)), ST-segment depression (8.6% (14/163)). Compared with European/North American, the ratio of patients with ST-segment elevation, T wave inversion, and atrioventricular block was higher in Chinese patients (P<0.05). (5) Echocardiography and imaging:apical dyskinesia (59.5% (97/163)) and apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation (36.2%(59/163)) dominated the echocardiography findings. Compared with European/North American, the ratio of patients with apical dyskinesia, apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation, and mitral regurgitation was higher in Chinese patients, while the ratio of patients with dyskinesia in other parts and left ventricular ejection fraction<50% was lower in Chinese patients (P<0.05). Left ventricular angiography showed 36.2% (59/163) of apical dyskinesia in Chinese patients, which was higher than that reported in European/North American patients, and 38.7% (63/163) of apical/left ventricular bulbar dilation was reported in Chinese patients, which was similar to that reported in European/North American patients. Coronary angiography showed percent of no stenosis or stenosis less than 50% was 87.1% (142/163), which was similar to that reported in European/North American patients (P>0.05). The typical type of TTS accounted for 96.3% (157/163), which was significantly higher than that reported in European/ American patients, while the ratio of basal type and midventricular type was lower (P<0.01). (6) Treatment and prognosis:the applied drugs in China were listed in order as following, β-blockers (41.1% (67/163)), antiplatelet agents (37.4%(61/163)), ACEI/ARB (36.2%(59/163)), anticoagulants (27.0%(44/163)), diuretics (19.6% (32/163)), etc. Compared with Europe/North America, the ratio of antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, statins, diuretics, and nitrates use was higher in China (P<0.05), while the use of oxygen therapy and IABP was similar (P>0.05). The hospital mortality in China was 5.5% (9/163), during 1-year follow-up the recurrence rate was 3.7% (6/163) and the mortality was 0. The prognosis was similar with that in Europe/North America. Conclusions: Compared with TTS cases in Europe/North America, TTS cases in China also occur usually in middle-aged and elderly women, most of whom have mental/physical triggers and typical imaging manifestations, followed by a low hospital mortality rate and recurrence rate.

RESUMEN La migración de malla en el posoperatorio alejado de la eventroplastìa y su consecuente infección es una complicación poco frecuente y peligrosa. La malla migrada genera reacción inflamatoria de tipo cuerpo extraño. Puede causar obstrucción intestinal, perforación intestinal o dolor abdominal cróni co. Solo se informan 4 casos en la literatura mundial de migración y uno con compromiso intestinal. Presentamos el caso de un tumor inflamatorio adherido a la pared abdominal, con contenido de poli propileno. El objetivo de esta carta científica es presentar una complicación poco habitual, destacando los aspectos más importantes de su manejo, definiendo algunas recomendaciones y remarcando la importancia del abordaje multidisciplinario.
ABSTRACT Mesh migration with subsequent infection years after incisional hernia repair is an uncommon and dangerous complication. Mesh migration produces an inflammatory foreign body reaction and can cause bowel obstruction, bowel perforation or chronic abdominal pain. Only four cases have been reported in the international literature, one of them with bowel involvement. We report a case of an inflammatory tumor containing polypropylene traces adhered to the abdominal wall. The aim of this scientific letter is to report a rare complication, emphasizing the most relevant aspects about its ma nagement, recommendations, and the relevance of a multidisciplinary approach.

Antecedentes: la colecistitis enfisematosa (CE) es una forma de presentación infrecuente de la colecistitis aguda. Material y métodos: presentecedentes patológicos, mientras que los otros eran diabéticos. A todos se les realizó tomografía computarizada (TC). Dos pacientes fueron sometidos a colecistectomía videolaparoscópica (CL) con buena evolución, mientras que en un caso se realizó colecistostomía percutánea (CP). Discusión: la CE se refiere a la presencia de gas en la luz o en la pared de la vesícula biliar. La tasa de morbilidad es del 50%. Los pacientes suelen padecer diabetes, pero puede presentarse en pacientes más jóvenes sin factores de riesgo. La TC es el método de elección para el diagnóstico. El tratamiento definitivo es la CL, aunque la CP es otra opción válida. Conclusión: la CL se considera un enfoque eficaz y seguro para el tratamiento de la CE.
Background: Emphysematous cholecystitis (EC) is a rare presentation of acute cholecystitis. Material and methods: We report three cases of EC in two men and one woman between 55 and 79 years. One of the patients was otherwise healthy while the other two were diabetics. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed in all the cases. Two patients underwent video-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy with favorable outcome and one patient underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy. Discussion: Emphysematous cholecystitis is characterized by the presence of gas in the gallbladder lumen or wall. Mortality rate is 50%. Most patients are diabetics, but EC may present in younger patients without risk factors. Computed tomography scan is the method of choice for the diagnosis. Cholecystectomy is indicated as definite treatment, but percutaneous cholecystostomy may be a valid option. Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and antibiotics are effective and safe to treat.

El pseudoquiste pancreático corresponde a una complicación alejada de la pancreatitis aguda. En nuestro medio son más frecuentes las de etiología biliar. El pseudoquiste se manifiesta en el 10% de estos pacientes. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con un pseudoquiste pancreático resuelto según abordaje endoscópico. Mediante este caso clínico destacamos el abordaje endoscópico de esta patología como un método seguro para el tratamiento de tal complicación.
Pancreatic psudocyst is a late complication of acute pancreatitis. In our environment, cholelithiasis is the most common cause of pancreatitis, and pancreatic pseudocyst occurs in 10% of these patients. We report the case of a patient with a pancreatic psudocyst treated with endoscopic drainage. We highlight that the endoscopic approach is a safe method to treat this complication.

Abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment is a rarely diagnosed condition that leads to intense neuropathic pain in the anterolateral wall of the abdomen. Generally, it is triggered by some factor implied in the increase of the pressure on the nerve in its passage by the abdominal wall. Its most important differential diagnosis is pain of visceral origin. We present a case in which the clinical findings confirmed on ultrasound and other imaging tests established the diagnosis and in which the noninvasive treatment was effective.

Se registra el caso de una paciente femenina de 73 años con antecedente de colecistitis crónica, quien al examen físico presentaba una tumoración palpable en hipocondrio derecho que se extendía a fosa ilíaca derecha. La ecografía abdominal mostró aumento del tamaño vesicular que alcanzaba fosa ilíaca derecha con contenido multilitiásico; se confirmó dicho hallazgo con estudio tomográfico. Se realizó laparotomía exploradora con hallazgo operatorio de vesícula gigante de paredes engrosadas, tensa, adherida a órganos circundantes, de dificultosa disección, que requirió punción para drenaje de su contenido. Se efectuó, además, colecistectomía convencional según técnica de Pribram, y se obtuvo una pieza quirúrgica de aproximadamente 15 × 10 cm, con informe de anatomía patológica de colecistitis crónica. En contraste con la presentación habitual de la colecistitis crónica, el caso de referencia obedece a una presentación atípica con una vesícula gigante.
We report the case of a 73-year old female patient with a history of chronic cholecystitis with a palpable mass extending from the right hipochondrium to the right iliac region. An abdominal ultrasound showed an enlarged gallbladder extending to the right iliac region with multiple gallstones confirmed by computed tomography scan. An exploratory laparotmy was performed. A giant gallbladder with thickened walls and presence of adhesions to the neighbor organs that were difficult to remove were found and required drainage. A conventional cholecystectomy was performed using the Pribram's technique. A surgical specimen measuring 15 x 10 cm was sent to the pathologist who made a diagnosis of chronic cholecystitis. This case is an atypical presentation of chronic cholecystitis due to a giant gallbladder.

Antecedentes: la diverticulitis cecal es una patología poco común en los países occidentales. Clínicamente es indistinguible de una apendicitis aguda. Objetivos: exhibir los resultados de acuerdo con diferentes abordajes terapéuticos. Material y métodos: se presentan cinco casos de diverticulitis cecal tratados en nuestra institución entre enero de 2013 y diciembre de 2015. Revisión retrospectiva de historias clínicas e imágenes. Revisión de la literatura. Resultados: fueron incluidos cinco pacientes. En cuatro hubo resolución quirúrgica y uno tuvo buena evolución con tratamiento médico. Conclusiones: si bien es poco frecuente, la diverticulitis cecal debe considerarse dentro de los diagnósticos diferenciales frente a un cuadro de dolor abdominal localizado en fosa ilíaca derecha acompañado de estudios por imágenes no categóricos de apendicitis aguda.
Background: cecal diverticulitis is a rare disease in western countries. It is clinically indistinguishable from acute appendicitis. Objetive: to show outcome with different therapeutic approaches. Material and methods: we present five cases of cecal diverticulitis treated at our institution between January 2013 and December 2015. Retrospective review of medical records and images. Review of the literature. Results: five patients were included. Four cases required surgical treatment while one patient resolved with medical treatment. Conclusions: Although it is rare, cecal diverticulitis must be considered within the differential diagnoses in the face of abdominal pain located in the right iliac fossa and non-categorical imaging of acute appendicitis.

Los linfangiomas son tumores benignos raros del sistema linfático, más comunes en la población pediátrica. La localización intraabdominal es muy infrecuente: tan solo el 1% de los linfangiomas aparece en el retroperitoneo. Se describe una tumoración quística infrecuente tanto por su localización como por la edad de presentación. Los linfangiomas retroperitoneales son tumores raros y su etiopatogenia es incierta. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante estudios de imagen; las técnicas de elección son la ultrasonografía (USG), la resonancia magnética (RM) o la tomografía computarizada (TC). A pesar de que se trata de tumores de naturaleza benigna, la exéresis quirúrgica completa es el tratamiento de elección para prevenir complicaciones como la sobreinfección, la rotura o el sangrado. Nuestro caso resulta infrecuente tanto por la localización retroperitoneal del tumor como por la tardía edad de presentación.
Background: lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system, being more common in the pediatric population. Intra-abdominal localization is very rare; only 1 % of lymphangiomas appear in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a rare tumor because of its location and the elderly age of presentation. Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is a rare tumor with an unertain pathogenesis. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging studies , e.g., US, MRI or CT. Although they are benign tumors, complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice. With this treatment, complications like infection, perforation or bleeding are prevented. Our case is unusual because of the retroperitoneal location of the tumor and the late age of presentation.

La Apendicitis aguda continúa siendo la afección quirúrgica más frecuente en los servicios de emergencia. Se reporta el caso de masculino de 27 años, sin antecedentes de importancia, con 3 días de dolor abdominal tipo cólico, Escala Visual Análoga 8/10, fiebre, diarrea, vómitos y automedicación con analgésicos orales. Es referido de un centro privado al Hospital de Lambayeque (Perú), por hipotensión. Ingresado por shock séptico, daño renal, coagulación intravascular diseminada. Evaluado múltiples veces por cirugía, realizando laparotomía exploratoria y apendicectomía. Llevado a Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos en su postoperatorio por falla multiorgánica, shock distributivo séptico refractario a foco abdominal, síndrome de distrés respiratorio, alcalosis respiratoria con acidosis metabólica, antibioticoterapia cumplida, soporte dialítico, nutricional, doble apoyo vasopresor y conectado a ventilación mecánica. Si bien, el shock séptico refractario es una afección muy inusual secundaria a apendicitis aguda complicada como en nuestro caso, requiere estricto monitoreo para evitar complicaciones que agraven aún más el cuadro clínico.
Acute appendicitis continues to be the most frequent surgical condition in the emergency services. It's reported the case of a 27 year-old male, with no relevant history, with 3 days of colic abdominal pain, Analog Visual Scale 8/10, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and self-medication with oral analgesics. He is referred from a private center to the Lambayeque Hospital (Peru), due to hypotension. Admitted by septic shock, kidney damage, disseminated intravascular coagulation. Evaluated multiple times by surgery, performing exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy. Carried to the ICU in its postoperative period due to multiple organ failure, distributive septic shock refractory to abdominal focus, respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory alkalosis with metabolic acidosis, fulfilled antibiotic therapy, dialytic support, nutritional, double vasopressor support and connected to mechanical ventilation. While refractory septic shock is a very unusual condition due to complicated acute appendicitis requires strict monitoring to avoid complications that aggravate even more the clinical presentation.

Lupus enteritis is a rare, severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), needing prompt diagnosis and proper management. However, SLE rarely presents as lupus enteritis at the time of initial diagnosis. Thus, delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are common. We report a case of a 25-year-old woman with lupus panenteritis. The patient had multiple hospitalizations for abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea, initially without any other symptoms suggestive of SLE, but was later observed to have malar rash and oral ulcers. Laboratory investigations were compatible with SLE, including positive antinuclear antibody (1:320) with speckled pattern. CT revealed diffuse hypodense submucosal thickening of the stomach, the entire small bowel, colon, appendix, and rectum. Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids followed by maintenance therapy with mycophenolate mofetil, hydroxychloroquine, and azathioprine resulted in clinical improvement. Diagnosis of lupus enteritis requires a high index of suspicion given the low incidence and nonspecific clinical findings.

Spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk is quite an uncommon medical condition, with few case reports in the medical literature. Sudden epigastric abdominal pain is the most common complaint reported by patients, but due to the rarity of this disease in clinical practice and the nonspecific nature of its symptoms, a high degree of clinical suspicion is needed to establish diagnosis. However, improvements in imaging techniques are facilitating diagnosis of this clinical entity, increasing its detection rate. The ideal treatment has not yet been fully established in the literature and the available therapeutic strategies are conservative medical treatment, surgical revascularization or endovascular intervention. In this article we report on three cases of spontaneous dissection of the celiac trunk and conduct a review of the literature on this disease...
A dissecção espontânea do tronco celíaco é uma condição médica incomum, com poucos relatos de casos publicados na literatura médica. A dor abdominal súbita no epigástrio é o sintoma mais frequentemente manifestado pelos pacientes; porém, devido à raridade dessa doença na prática clínica e à inespecificidade de seus sintomas, é necessário um alto grau de suspeição para o estabelecimento do seu diagnóstico. Nesse contexto, o aperfeiçoamento das técnicas de exames de imagem vem possibilitando o diagnóstico desta entidade clínica com maior facilidade, aumentando a sua taxa de detecção. O tratamento ideal ainda não está completamente bem estabelecido na literatura, sendo que as estratégias terapêuticas disponíveis são o tratamento médico conservador, a revascularização cirúrgica e a intervenção endovascular. Neste artigo, nós relatamos três casos de dissecção espontânea do tronco celíaco e realizamos uma revisão de literatura sobre esta doença...
