ABSTRACT

La invaginación intestinal es una causa poco frecuente de dolor abdominal en adultos. Ocurre en menos del 1% de obstrucción intestinal de delgado. En adultos la mayoría de los casos son el resultado de una lesión intestinal; la invaginación idiopática es extremadamente rara. Presentamos un caso de obstrucción intestinal diagnosticado mediante tomografía computadorizada de invaginación de intestino delgado secundaria a un tumor. Se discute la etiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento de la invaginación intestinal del adulto (AU)


Intussusception is a rare cause of abdominal pain in adults. It occurs in less than 1% of all cases of adult small bowel obstruction. In adult population, most cases are the result of some type of intestinal lesion; idiopathic intussusceptions are an extremely rare occurrence in adults. This report describes one case of intestinal obstruction caused by an intussusception diagnosed by computed tomography(CT) scan. This report discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of adult intususcepción (AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentamos una enferma con un cuadro de hipotermia sin antecedentes de exposición al frío, en la que los signos que encontramos en la exploración física y sus antecedentes obstétricos nos llevaron a sospechar el diagnóstico de panhipopituitarismo, probablemente por necrosis postparto (síndrome de Sheehan) y a establecer tratamiento empírico que resultó eficaz (AU)

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Analizar las características psicosociales de los pacientes con un componente funcional relevante que utilizan reiteradamente nuestro servicio de urgencias hospitalario (SUH) y estimar los costes generados por su atención sanitaria. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo (enero 1996-junio 1997) de los pacientes hiperfrecuentadores (HF) del SUH definidos como 3 ó más visitas/semestre durante al menos dos semestres. Revisando sus historias y realizando una entrevista psiquiátrica identificamos a los HF funcionales (HFF). Posteriormente estimamos el coste generado por los episodios con destino alta durante el primer semestre de 1997. Resultados: De 220 HF identificados 66 fueron considerados HFF. La media de consultas fue 11,3ñ9,4. Clínicos y psiquiatras coincidieron en la existencia de funcionalidad en 40/55 (72,7 porciento). Los diagnósticos más frecuentes fueron: trastorno de personalidad (37,5 porciento) y ansiedad-depresión (35 porciento). Los HF psiquiátricos eran más jóvenes (51,7 vs 62,9 años) y consultaban más veces (17,6 vs 9,9). Las 240 asistencias a HFF en el semestre estudiado causaron un único ingreso. Coste promedio del episodio altado fue 8.682,9ñ6.633,8 ptas. El 25,06 porciento se atribuyó a coste variable. El coste del minuto de permanencia en urgencias se estimó en 19,26 ptas. El coste global de atención a HFF durante el semestre estudiado fue 1.903.775 ptas. (0,36 porciento del coste total). Conclusiones: Los HFF suponen proporcionalmente mayor carga en el SUH que el resto de población. Los pacientes con trastorno mental son más jóvenes y acuden más reiteradamente que el resto de HF al Servicio de Urgencias. Sólo un 25 porciento del coste por consulta se debe a material, tratamiento, pruebas o dietas (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the psychosocial characteristics of frequent emergency department (ER) users with a relevant non-organic component and estimate the generated costs. METHODS: Retrospective-descriptive study (Jan 1996-Jun 1997) about overusers (OU) defined as > = 3 visits/6 months during at least two 6 months periods, coming to our hospital's emergency department. Reviewing their medical records and making a psychiatric interview we identified Non-organic OU (NOU). Subsequently we estimated the cost generated by discharge visits during the first six months of 1997. RESULTS: Sixty six out of 220 OU were identified as NOU. The mean consultation rate was 11.3 +/- 9.4. Clinician-psychiatrist agreement on non-organicity was 72.7%. The most frequent diagnoses were: personality disorders (37.5%) and depression-anxiety (35%). Psychiatric OU were significantly younger (51.7 vs 62.5 years) and attended more often (17.6 vs. 9.9 times). In six months only one of 240 ER consultation cause admission. The mean cost of each discharge episode was 8682.9 +/- 6633.8 pta (25.06% due to variable costs). The cost per minute of emergency room stay was 19.26 ptas. Overall NOU attention cost during the six month period studied was 1,903,775 ptas (0.36% of overall ER costs). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with the rest of users, NOU entail a higher burden for the ER. Mentally-ill patients are younger and consult more frequently than the rest of OU. Only 25% of the cost per consultation is due to treatments, tests or diets.

ABSTRACT

Paget's disease is a common entity but osteosarcoma arising in Paget's disease is an infrequent complication. Primary osteosarcomas are typically long bone tumours and the skull is rarely affected. A case with malignant transformation of Paget's disease of the skull and an unusual clinical presentation is reported. Computed tomography scans of the tumour area show interesting results. Main features are: an intensive sclerotic reaction of the host bone, an inner and outer spiculation of the calvarium, radial ossifications in the soft extracranial mass, and spotty calcifications and ossifications of the osteosarcomatous portion infiltrating the brain.
