RESUMO
El ataque cerebrovascular isquémico (ACV) es una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad a nivel mundial y nacional. Se estudiaron 35 pacientes identificándose que las arterias que presentaron mayor frecuencia de oclusión en el ACV isquémico agudo fueron la arteria cerebral media y la arteria cerebral posterior. Consideramos necesario que los especialistas puedan localizaran atómicamente los ACV para la aplicación de terapias neuroprotectoras mejorando las opciones de tratamiento y previniendo obstrucciones secundarias.
Ischaemic stroke (CVA) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality at a global and national level. We studied 35 patients, determined the arteries that presented a higher frequency of occlusion in acute ischemic stroke and identified the middle cerebral artery and the posterior cerebral artery. We consider it necessary that specialists can locate anatomically strokes in order to apply neuroprotective therapies to improve treatment options and preventing secondary obstructions.

Atypical mycobacteria of the fortuitum-chelonei complex are being identified with increasing frequency as causes of resistant, cutaneous infection. We report a case of Mycobacterium fortuitum infection of the face, unresponsive to conventional antimicrobial therapy, which resolved following adjunctive surgical resection. We believe that prompt surgical debridement of affected tissue in such infections, combined with appropriate antimicrobial therapy, will shorten both the duration and morbidity often associated with this disease.
