ABSTRACT

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective and safe treatment method for many psychiatric disorders. In general medical practice, ECT may cause side effects as most other treatment methods do. Headache, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anterograde amnesia are common side effects of electroconvulsive therapy. Fever; in addition to general medical conditions such as infection, malignancy, connective tissue diseases, drug treatments, malignant hyperthermia, convulsions, it can also occur due to conditions such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), serotonin syndrome, catatonia, malignant catatonia, which are frequently encountered in psychiatry clinics. In the literature, transient fever response due to electroconvulsive therapy application have been described, albeit rarely. Although there are many proposed mechanisms for the emergence of a fever response, regardless of its cause, it is still not understood why some fever responses occur. In this article, we present the differential diagnosis of the fever response, possible causes, and the mechanisms that may reveal the secondary fever response to electroconvulsive therapy in a case with a diagnosis of catatonic schizophrenia, who developed a fever response during electroconvulsive therapy sessions and no fever response was observed at times other than electroconvulsive therapy sessions. In this case, postictal benign fever response associated with electroconvulsive therapy was considered after excluding other medical conditions that may cause a fever response after electroconvulsive therapy. Keywords: ECT, Fever, Catatonia, NMS.

ABSTRACT

Los neurolépticos son un grupo de medicamentos ampliamente empleados en el tratamiento de cuadros psicóticos, entre sus efectos adversos cabe destacar la posibilidad de desencadenar un síndrome neuroléptico maligno (SNM). El diagnóstico del SNM se determina por exclusión y su manejo terapéutico inicial será la retirada de los neurolépticos junto a la administración de benzodiacepinas y terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC). La TEC representa una efectiva opción terapéutica en estos pacientes así como en aquellos casos que se obtenga una respuesta escasa al manejo con medicamentos antipsicóticos. Revisamos las alternativas terapéuticas y las implicaciones anestésicas que conlleva manejar un paciente programado para TEC, diagnosticado de esquizofrenia paranoide, en el contexto de SNM (AU)


Neuroleptics are a group of drugs widely used in the treatment of psychotic symptoms. Among their adverse effects is the ability to trigger a neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). The diagnosis of NMS is determined by exclusion, and its initial therapeutic management should be the withdrawal of neuroleptics, the administration of benzodiazepines, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). ECT is an effective treatment in these patients, and in those cases with a poor response to treatment with antipsychotic drugs. A review is presented on the treatment options and anaesthetic implications of ECT used to handle a patient diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in the context of NMS (AU)

ABSTRACT

La hipertermia maligna es un síndrome hipermetabólico que ocurre en pacientes susceptibles, tras la exposición a un fármaco anestésico desencadenante (succinilcolina, anestésicos inhalatorios). En España, se presenta en uno de cada 40.000 en adultos, con una mortalidad estimada del 10%. Está inducido por una regulación anormal de los receptores de rianodina, que produce una liberación masiva del calcio del retículo sarcoplasmático del músculo. Las manifestaciones clínicas son variadas y consisten en: elevación del CO2, taquicardia e inestabilidad hemodinámica, acidosis metabólica y respiratoria, sudoración profusa, hiperpirexia, elevación de CPK, mioglobinuria, fallo renal, CID y finalmente parada cardiorrespiratoria. El tratamiento con dantroleno sódico inhibe la liberación de calcio al antagonizar los receptores de rianodina. El diagnóstico definitivo se realiza con el test de contracción de fibra muscular expuesta a cafeína y halotano. Ante este grave evento la protocolización del manejo ayuda a garantizar que el paciente reciba una atención fiable y segura (AU)


Malignant hyperthermia is a hypermetabolic syndrome that appears in susceptible patients after exposure to certain anaesthetic drugs (succinylcholine, inhalation anaesthetics). Its incidence in Spain is 1 in 40,000 adults, with a 10% mortality rate. It is induced by an abnormal regulation of the ryanodine receptors, producing a massive release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the striate muscle. Clinical manifestations include: CO2 increase, tachycardia, haemodynamic instability, metabolic and respiratory acidosis, profuse sweating, hyperpyrexia, CPK increase, myoglobinuria, kidney failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and ending in cardiac arrest. Dantrolene sodium is a ryanodine receptor antagonist, and inhibits the release of intracellular calcium. Definitive diagnosis is achieved by the exposure of muscle fibres to caffeine and halothane. Protocols can help guarantee a reliable and secure management when this severe event occurs (AU)

ABSTRACT

El síndrome neuroléptico maligno es una patología poco frecuente y, en ocasiones, difícil de diagnosticar debido a la variabilidad en cuanto a la forma de presentación y evolución. La importancia de su detección precoz está en la instauración de un tratamiento adecuado lo antes posible, ya que sus complicaciones son potencialmente letales en caso de no realizarse a tiempo. El caso clínico que presentamos sirve como ejemplo representativo de la heterogeneidad clínica de dicha entidad, ya que la sintomatología larvada del paciente, su forma de presentación oscilante unido a la lenta evolución del mismo plantearon dudas en cuanto al diagnóstico, lo que hizo necesario el estudio diferencial con diferentes patologías. Por otra parte, y aunque hay distintas medicaciones que pueden provocarlo, son los neurolépticos los principales en poder desencadenarlo. La combinación de estos y las fórmulas de liberación retardada favorecen la lentitud en la resolución del cuadro clínico (AU)


Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare disease. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose because of its variability in presentation and evolution. The importance of early detection is the establishment of an appropriate treatment as soon as possible, as its complications are potentially lethal if not treated on time. The clinical case presented serves as a representative example of the clinical heterogeneity of the entity, as the overt symptoms of the patient, its form of oscillating presentation coupled with its slow evolution, raised doubts about the diagnosis. This required a differential study with different pathologies. On the other hand, and although there are various medications that can cause it, neuroleptics are the leading ones that can trigger it. The combination of these and time-release formulas favour the slow resolution of the clinical picture (AU)

ABSTRACT

Puesto que la prescripción de antipsicóticos o neurolépticos está siendo cada vez más frecuente en la población pediátrica con trastornos neurológicos en politerapia, es interesante tener presente un cuadro tan infrecuente y potencialmente grave como el síndrome neuroléptico maligno, así como otras posibles reacciones adversas a medicamentos. Describimos el caso de un paciente pediátrico que desarrolló un síndrome neuroléptico maligno secundario a haloperidol y/o risperidona, al que pudo sumarse una reacción adversa medicamentosa a oxcarbazepina, con una evolución favorable(AU)


Since the prescription of antipsychotic or neuroleptic medications are becoming more common in the pediatric population under polytherapy with neurological disorders is interesting to take into account this rare and potentially serious neuroleptic malignant syndrome and other possible adverse reactions to drugs. We describe a pediatric patient who developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome secondary to haloperidol/risperidone and a possible adverse reaction to oxcarbazepine(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: Catatonic syndrome is a condition presenting in multiple ways, sharing many of them with the neuroleptic malignant syndrome and other diseases. This diagnostic challenge is the main cause of keep treating catatonic syndromes without neuroleptics. Methods: Review of the literature and a case report. Results: We present the case of a 19 years old bipolar I patient with a severe catatonic syndrome, with a torpid clinical evolution, partial response to benzodiazepines and ECT, which successfully resolved with intramuscular aripiprazole. We found through a systematic review (PubMed 2005-2010) that there are few but significant case reports of catatonic syndromes treated with new second generation antipsychotics for different reasons with good outcomes as ours. The pharmacological profile of aripiprazole and the low incidence of NMS reported make it a suitable option in treating this syndrome. Conclusions: We think that this case report could contribute to add more evidence for aripiprazole to be considered a good third-line option in the treatment of catatonic syndrome. However, this would require randomized controlled trials to confirm its effectiveness and safety (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los pacientes institucionalizados con enfermedad mental grave y alteraciones motoras plantean frecuentes dudas diagnósticas. La catatonía periódica se manifiesta por alteraciones motoras y signos orgánicos por lo que debe incluirse en el diagnóstico diferencial ante un cuadro sugestivo de síndrome neuroléptico maligno. Caso clínico: Varón de 45 años institucionalizado por trastorno del desarrollo intelectual. Durante 3 primaversas consecutivas presenta insomnio, alteraciones conductuales persistentes, seguidas de catatonías acinéticas y síndrome neurovegetativo: rigidez, estereotipias, sudoración, taquicardia, febrícula y pérdida ponderal. Se le diagnostica de síndrome neuroléptico maligno retirándose los antipsicóticos. Reingresa sin solución de continuidad con importantes alteraciones conductuales que ceden tras reintroducción de los antipsicóticos. Emitido el diagnóstico de catatonía periódica se añade litio, sin recaídas hasta la fecha. Discusión: Los cuadros psiquiátricos primarios graves, habituales antes de la introducción de los antipsicóticos todavía se observan en instituciones con difícil acceso a los servicios de salud mental. Debe contemplarse su diagnóstico en sujetos en los que concurren trastornos del neurodesarrollo con cambios bruscos de su funcionamiento(AU)


Introduction: Psychiatric institutionalized patients suffering severe learning disabilities and coincidental motor symptoms usually represent a challenge in their diagnostic and therapeutic processes. Periodic catatonia may produce neurovegetative and motor symptoms, the first being essential findings for an accurate diagnosis. Otherwise, these constellations of symptoms manifested in patients undergoing antipsychotic therapy might be misidentified as a neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Case report: An institutionalized 45 year-old male with severe learning disability presented for 3 years seasonal behavioural changes: During the last winter weeks he experienced a purposeless excessive motor activity. Every springtime the patient associated insomnia and treatment-resistant hyperkinetic behavioural disturbances as a prelude of akinetic catatonia episodes with intercurrent neurovegetative syndrome (stereotyped movements, sweating, tachycardia, slight fever and severe weight loss). A diagnosis of malignant neuroleptic syndrome was made during his third episode zenith, and antipsychotic treatment removed; the patient must be readmitted to the hospital after severe behaviour disturbances, which remitted after antipsychotics reintroduction. The patient was subsequently diagnosed of periodical catatonia (bipolar disorder with catatonic features) and put on lithium carbonate-based therapy, presenting no relapses in the three next years. Discussion: Some severe mental disorders characteristic from the pre-antipsychotic era can be still diagnosed affecting institutionalized patients commit in residential resources. So in spite of the tendency of considering psychotropic drugs and infections as the sole cause for this disorders, a primary psychiatric disturbance should also be considered in this kind of patients(AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentamos un cuadro clínico de mutismo, acinesia y estupor con fiebre y retención urinaria en una mujer de 65 años como ejemplo de catatonia. La sintomatología catatónica se ha establecido como un síndrome común a múltiples etiologías tanto médicas como psiquiátricas. Además se han descrito factores precipitantes de tipo farmacológico, tóxico y orgánico para esta entidad. Por tanto, es necesaria una aproximación multidisciplinar a este tipo de cuadros para afinar el diagnóstico etiológico. Varios autores apuntan a un infradiagnóstico de este síndrome. Durante la evaluación, diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta paciente, hallamos la necesidad de criterios diagnósticos claros y actualizados y de algoritmos de tratamiento basados en evidencias. Las benzodiazepinas y la terapia electroconvulsiva suponen el tratamiento de primera línea, junto con las medidas de soporte y la prevención de complicaciones. Se han publicado otras estrategias no protocolizadas de tratamiento alternativas en casos refractarios (AU)


We present a clinical picture of mutism, akinesia and stupor with fever and urinary retention in a 65-year-old woman, as an example of catatonia. The catatonic symptomatology has been established as a syndrome which can have multiple etiologies, both medical and psychiatric. Beside that, pharmacological, toxic and organic precipitant factors have been described. Therefore a multidisciplinary approach is required to make more precise the etiological diagnosis. Many authors point out that this syndrome is underdiagnosed. During the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of this patient, we found that there is lack of clear and updated diagnostic criteria, as well as evidence-based treatment algorithms. Benzodiazepines and ECT are first line treatments, along with supportive care and prevention of complications. Other non-protocolized strategies have been published as an alternative in refractory cases (AU)

ABSTRACT

Background and objectives: Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are serious, possibly life-threatening events which are often ignored in psychiatric settings. This article investigates which psychiatric patients are at increased risk of developinga venous thromboembolism. To our knowledge we are the first to perform a literature review of clinical studies relating venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to psychotropic drugs and mental disorders. Methods: A Medline search for English studies using the appropriate search terms was performed. In addition, cross references of the relevant articles` literature references were considered. We withheld 12 observational studies, 29 case-reports and one review-article. Results: We found evidence that low potency antipsychotic drugs like chlorpromazine and thioridazine, and clozapine for treatment of resistant schizophrenia have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. There is no evidence that antidepressants, benzodiazepines or mood stabilizers have a similar effect. Also psychiatric conditions like physical restraint, catatonia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome are related to a higher incidence of deep venous thrombosis. Conclusions: Limitations of the studies and hypotheses about underlying biological mechanisms are reviewed. The rationale for prophylactic measures is discussed and recommendations to prevent deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are given (AU)

ABSTRACT

El Síndrome Neuroléptico Maligno constituye una complicación infrecuente secundaria al uso de neurolépticos. Cursa con un cuadro clínico florido en el que la rigidez muscular, la hipertermia, las alteraciones de conciencia y disautonómicas son los elementos predominantes. Se presenta un paciente del sexo masculino de 52 años de edad, raza blanca con antecedentes psiquiátricos desde joven que se le diagnosticó esta complicación en el Hospital Dr. Salvador Allende. Se describe la evolución clínica del caso y las complicaciones presentadas (sepsis respiratoria acompañada de insuficiencia respiratoria con necesidad de ventilación mecánica). Utilizamos como medidas terapéuticas fundamentales los relajantes musculares, Amantadina, Sinemet y agonistas de los receptores dopaminérgicos con lo cual logramos su recuperación y egreso de la sala a los 17 días. Se concluye que esta enfermedad, a pesar de ser una entidad grave, cuando se diagnostica y trata precozmente puede tener una evolución satisfactoria(AU)

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: A case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome and acute respiratory distress syndrome is presented and discussed with emphasis on the role of muscle relaxation, creatine kinase, and respiratory function tests. CASE REPORT: A 41-year-old man presented right otalgia and peripheral facial paralysis. A computed tomography scan of the skull showed a hyperdense area, 2 cm in diameter, in the pathway of the anterior intercommunicating cerebral artery. Preoperative examination revealed: pH 7.4, PaCO2 40 torr, PaO2 80 torr (room air), Hb 13.8 g/dl, blood urea nitrogen 3.2 mmol/l, and creatinine 90 mmol/l. The chest x-ray was normal. The patient had not eaten during the 12-hour period prior to anesthesia induction. Intravenous halothane, fentanyl 0.5 mg and droperidol 25 mg were used for anesthesia. After the first six hours, the PaO2 was 65 torr (normal PaCO2) with FiO2 50 percent (PaO2/FiO2 130), and remained at this level until the end of the operation 4 hours later, maintaining PaCO2 at 35 torr. A thrombosed aneurysm was detected and resected, and the ends of the artery were closed with clips. No vasospasm was present. This case illustrates that neuroleptic drugs can cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a disease that is difficult to diagnose. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is another manifestation of neuroleptic malignant syndrome that has not been recognized in previous reports: it may be produced by neuroleptic drugs independent of the manifestation of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Some considerations regarding the cause and effect relationship between acute respiratory distress syndrome and neuroleptic drugs are discussed. Intensive care unit physicians should consider the possibility that patients receiving neuroleptic drugs could develop respiratory failure in the absence of other factors that might explain the syndrome

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Observar las semejanzas y diferencias que presenta el síndrome neuroléptico maligno en pacientes psiquiátricos y en sujetos previamente sanos. Pacientes y métodos: Serie de casos clínicos valorados por el autor. Se confrontaron (comparación de medias): leucocitosis, temperatura, valor de la creatinfosfocinasa, latencia en horas desde la administración del fármaco y el desarrollo de los síntomas, fármaco y dosis involucrados, días de estancia hospitalaria y líquido cefalorraquídeo. Además, se contrastó (prueba de la *2 [test exacto de Fisher y corrección de Yates]): nivel de alerta, rigidez, inestabilidad autonómica y la presencia de trastornos del movimiento. Un valor de p < 0,05 fue significativo en ambos casos. Resultados: Fueron 13 varones y 8 mujeres; edad media de 41,5 años. Ocho pertenecieron al grupo sano y 13 al grupo psiquiátrico (12 pacientes con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia). Siete enfermos del primer grupo consultaron por síndrome confusional agudo agitado (cinco por consumo de alcohol). En el grupo psiquiátrico fue por un brote psicótico con agresividad (12 pacientes). El haloperidol estuvo involucrado en 17 enfermos (80,95 por ciento). La cifra de leucocitos, neutrófilos y linfocitos fueron mayores en el grupo previamente sano (p < 0,03; 0,0009; 0,004, respectivamente). La latencia en horas y la dosis del fármaco fueron menores en ese mismo grupo (p < 0,0003; 0,00001). El resto de variables no evidenció diferencia. Todos presentaron hipertermia, rigidez, trastorno del nivel de alerta y elevaciones de la creatinfosfocinasa. Conclusiones: Los pacientes previamente asintomáticos, con alcoholismo y cuadro confusional agudo pueden desarrollar síndrome neuroléptico maligno después de recibir una dosis media de 19,28 mg de haloperidol y tras una latencia de 31,25 h. Creemos que la deshidratación y el efecto tóxico del alcohol contribuyen para esta mayor susceptibilidad (AU)

ABSTRACT

El avance en el conocimiento del mecanismo de acción de los neurotransmisores, el descubrimiento de nuevos receptores y de sus interrelaciones permite ir aclarando la etiopatogenia de los diferentes trastornos cerebrales. El uso cada vez más frecuente de los inhibidores de la recaptación de la serotonina, y de serotoninérgicos en general, ha provocado un aumento en la incidencia de un cuadro, potencialmente mortal, denominado síndrome serotoninérgico central. Este síndrome, de incidencia desconocida, caracterizado por afectación global del estado general (alteraciones del estado mental, neuromuscular y autonómico) se confunde con otros cuadros, y es infradiagnosticado, demorándose con frecuencia su tratamiento. Presentamos una revisión de este tema a propósito de un caso (AU)
