RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The nationwide lockdown implemented in Spain in March 2020 in response to the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) could have had an effect on the clinical situation, disease management and access to care in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted by means of an online survey. The frequency and impact of headache, visual symptoms, dizziness, cognitive symptoms, diplopia, anxiety and depression on patients' quality of life were recorded. Disease treatment and delays experienced in accessing care were recorded. Participants were grouped according to the time elapsed since diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 112 patients participated in the study (103 women). The average time since disease onset was 6.25 years. Headache, anxiety and depression were responsible for considerable impact in the period prior to lockdown. The impact of headache was not aggravated during lockdown, but anxiety and depression did become significantly worse. Recently diagnosed participants reported higher rates of anxiety, depression, dizziness and diplopia; chronically diagnosed participants reported a higher frequency of cognitive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical situation of the participants deteriorated during lockdown, although the differences were smaller than previously thought. This was probably because the baseline situation was more severe than expected. Further studies are needed to clarify the medium and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.


TITLE: Impacto del confinamiento por COVID-19 en pacientes con hipertensión intracraneal idiopática en España.Introducción. El confinamiento nacional instaurado en España en marzo de 2020 como respuesta a la pandemia por la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pudo tener un efecto en la situación clínica, el manejo de la enfermedad y el acceso a la atención médica en pacientes con hipertensión intracraneal idiopática. Pacientes y métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional transversal por medio de una encuesta en línea. Se registraron la frecuencia y el impacto en la calidad de vida de la cefalea, los síntomas visuales, el mareo, los síntomas cognitivos, la diplopía, la ansiedad y la depresión. Se registró el tratamiento de la enfermedad y los retrasos experimentados en el acceso a la atención médica. Se agrupó a los participantes según el tiempo de evolución desde el diagnóstico. Resultados. Participaron 112 pacientes (103 mujeres). El tiempo medio de evolución de la enfermedad fue 6,25 años. La cefalea, la ansiedad y la depresión fueron responsables de un impacto considerable en el período previo al confinamiento. El impacto de la cefalea no empeoró durante el confinamiento, pero la ansiedad y la depresión empeoraron significativamente. Los participantes diagnosticados recientemente comunicaron mayores tasas de ansiedad, depresión, mareo y diplopía; los de evolución crónica, mayor frecuencia de síntomas cognitivos. Conclusiones. La situación clínica de los participantes se deterioró durante el confinamiento, aunque las diferencias fueron menores de lo que se pensaba. Esto se debió, probablemente, a que la situación basal era más grave de lo esperado. Son necesarios más estudios para aclarar el impacto a medio y largo plazo de la pandemia por COVID-19 en pacientes con hipertensión intracraneal idiopática.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Wernicke's encephalopathy is an acute neuropsychiatric syndrome resulting from a thiamine deficit, which is defined by the characteristic triad of confusion, ophthalmoparesis and ataxia, although rare presentations have been reported that delay its diagnosis. Miller Fisher syndrome is characterised by the triad ophthalmoparesis, ataxia and areflexia and is considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome; its differential diagnosis includes Wernicke's encephalopathy. CASE REPORT: A 75-year-old female with chronic digestive disorders, who developed an acute picture of bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia, with proteinocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid; accordingly, an initial diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome was proposed. Results of the neurophysiological studies were normal; anti-GQ1b antibodies were negative; and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain suggested Wernicke's encephalopathy. The response to thiamine was spectacular. CONCLUSIONS: The similarities in the distribution of the lesions of the two conditions, in the signs and symptoms and the lab findings, as well as the influence of certain misleading factors (hyponatremia, advanced age), went to make up a typical syndrome that favoured a wrong presumptive aetiological diagnosis. This was corrected at an early stage, however, in light of the results of certain diagnostic tests and after observing the therapeutic response. In addition to being an atypical presentation for Wernicke's encephalopathy, this case highlights the fact that for there to be an agreement between the syndromic and aetiological diagnoses it is necessary to carry out a correct differential diagnosis based on details from the patient's history, on appropriate complementary tests and on the follow-up study of how the patients progress, even when we come across typical syndromes that are usually related to a predominant aetiopathogenesis.

RESUMO

La encefalopatía de Wernicke es un síndrome neuropsiquiátrico agudo secundario a un déficit de tiamina, definido por la tríada característica de confusión, oftalmoparesia y ataxia, aunque se han descrito presentaciones raras que retrasan el diagnóstico. El síndrome de Miller Fisher se caracteriza por la tríada de oftalmoparesia, ataxia y arreflexia,y se considera una variante del síndrome de Guillain-Barré; su diagnóstico diferencial incluye la encefalopatía de Wernicke. Caso clínico. Mujer de 75 años con trastorno digestivo crónico, que desarrolla un cuadro agudo de oftalmoplejía internuclearbilateral, ataxia y arreflexia, con disociación proteinocitológica en el líquido cefalorraquídeo, por lo que se propuso el diagnóstico inicial de síndrome de Miller Fisher. Los estudios neurofisiológicos fueron normales, los anticuerpos anti-GQ1b,negativos, y la resonancia magnética cerebral sugirió una encefalopatía de Wernicke; la respuesta a la tiamina fue espectacular. Conclusiones. Las similitudes en la distribución lesional de ambas entidades, en la semiología y los resultados analíticos, así como la influencia de ciertos factores de confusión (hiponatremia, edad avanzada), conformaron un síndrome típico que favoreció un diagnóstico de sospecha etiológico erróneo, que pudo modificarse precozmente a la luz de ciertas pruebas diagnósticasy después de la respuesta terapéutica. Además de tratarse de una presentación atípica para una encefalopatía de Wernicke, este caso recuerda que la conjunción del diagnóstico sindrómico con el etiológico pasa por realizar un correcto diagnóstico diferencial apoyándonos en detalles de la anamnesis, en las pruebas complementarias necesarias y en el seguimientoevolutivo de los pacientes, incluso cuando nos encontramos ante síndromes típicos habitualmente relacionados con una etiopatogenia predominante
