RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of sonographic vasospasm and delayed ischemic deficit in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, to evaluate the correlation between different tomographic scales and these complications, and to study prognostic factors in this group of patients. Methods: This was a prospective study of patients admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The prevalence of sonographic vasospasm and radiological delayed cerebral ischemia was analyzed, as was the correlation between different tomographic scales and these complications. Results: A total of 57 patients were studied. Sixty percent of the patients developed sonographic vasospasm, which was significantly associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and mortality. The Claassen and Hijdra scales were better correlated with the development of cerebral vasospasm (areas under the curve of 0.78 and 0.68) than was Fisher's scale (0.62). Thirty-two patients (56.1%) developed cerebral infarction on CT; the significantly associated factors were poor clinical grade at admission (p = 0.04), sonographic vasospasm (p = 0.008) and severity of vasospasm (p = 0.015). Only the semiquantitative Hijdra scale was significantly correlated with the development of radiological delayed cerebral ischemia (p = 0.009). The patients who presented cerebral infarction had worse neurological evolution and higher mortality. Conclusion: This is the first study in our environment on the subject. The Claassen and Hijdra tomographic scales showed better prognostic performance than the Fisher scale for the development of cerebral vasospasm. The finding of sonographic vasospasm could be a noninvasive criterion for the early detection of delayed cerebral ischemia and neurological deterioration in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.


RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de vasoespasmo sonográfico y déficit isquémico diferido en pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática, evaluar la correlación entre las diferentes escalas tomográficas con dichas complicaciones, así como estudiar los factores pronósticos en este grupo de pacientes. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de pacientes ingresados a la unidad de cuidados intensivos con diagnóstico de hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática. Se analizó la prevalencia de vasoespasmo sonográfico e isquemia cerebral diferida radiológica, así como la correlación entre diferentes escalas tomográficas con dichas complicaciones. Resultados: Se estudiaron 57 pacientes. El 60% de los pacientes desarrollaron vasoespasmo sonográfico, el cual se asoció significativamente con isquemia cerebral diferida y mortalidad. Las escalas de Claassen y de Hijdra tuvieron una mejor correlación con el desarrollo de vasoespasmo cerebral (área bajo la curva de 0,78 y 0,68) que la de Fisher (0,62). Treinta y dos pacientes (56,1%) desarrollaron infarto cerebral en la TC, siendo los factores que se asociaron en forma estadísticamente significativa al mismo: pobre grado clínico al ingreso (p = 0,04), vasoespasmo sonográfico (p = 0,008) y severidad del vasoespasmo (p = 0,015). Solamente la escala semicuantitativa de Hijdra se correlacionó significativamente con el desarrollo de isquemia cerebral diferida radiológica (p = 0,009). Los pacientes que presentaron infarto cerebral tuvieron peor evolución neurológica y mayor mortalidad. Conclusion: Se presenta el primer estudio en nuestro medio sobre el tema. Las escalas tomográficas de Claassen y Hijdra presentaron un mejor rendimiento pronóstico que la de Fisher para desarrollo de vasoespasmo cerebral. El hallazgo de vasoespasmo sonográfico podría ser un criterio no invasivo de detección temprana de isquemia cerebral diferida y peoría neurológica en los pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: las complicaciones neurológicas más frecuentes de la hemorragia subaracnoidea son el vasoespasmo cerebral, el resangrado y la hidrocefalia. Las convulsiones que pueden asociarse son generalmente secundarias a las anteriores. La aparición de éstas influye en la morbimortalidad de los pacientes afectados. Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de complicaciones clínicas de la hemorragia subaracnoidea Material y métodos: se aplicó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal, retrospectivo. Se incluyeron 105 pacientes adultos con hemorragia subaracnoidea que acudieron al Hospital Nacional, Itauguá, Paraguay, en el periodo 2020-2021. Resultados: la edad media fue 52 ±15 años. La mayoría de los pacientes fue del sexo femenino (59,05%) y provenía del Departamento Central. La hipertensión arterial fue la principal comorbilidad. La mayoría de los pacientes presentó Fisher 4 en la tomografía simple de cráneo y la presentación clínica fue el Hunt y Hess 2. El vasoespasmo fue la complicación neurológica más frecuente. La mortalidad fue 54,29%. Conclusión: la escala de Fisher 4 y la de Hunt y Hess 2 fueron los grados de presentación imagenológica y afectación clínica más frecuentes. La complicación neurológica predominante fue el vasoespasmo, aislado o asociado a otras complicaciones como hidrocefalia o resangrado. La mortalidad fue 54,29%.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The most frequent neurological complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage are cerebral vasospasm, rebleeding and hydrocephalus. The seizures that may be associated are generally secondary to these complications. Their appearance influences the morbidity and mortality of affected patients. Objective: To determine the frequency of clinical complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage Material and methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study was used. One hundred five adult patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage who attended the Hospital Nacional of Itauguá, Paraguay, in the period 2020-2021 were included. Results: The mean age was 52±15 years. Most of the patients were female (59.05%) and came from the Central Department. Arterial hypertension was the main comorbidity. Most of the patients presented Fisher grade 4 in the simple skull tomography and the clinical presentation was Hunt and Hess grade 2. Vasospasm was the most frequent neurological complication while mortality was 54.29%. Conclusion: The Fisher grade 4 and the Hunt and Hess grade were the most frequent grades of imaging presentation and clinical involvement. The predominant neurological complication was vasospasm, isolated or associated with other complications such as hydrocephalus or rebleeding. Mortality was 54.29%.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of angioplasty with a retrievable stent in treating vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to an aneurysm. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected data from consecutive patients undergoing endovascular angioplasty with a retrievable stent to treat vasospasm related to SAH due to an aneurysm in four neurointerventional radiology departments between January 2018 and July 2019. We included patients aged >18 years with vasospasm >50% of the internal carotid artery (ICA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and / or middle cerebral artery (MCA) secondary to SAH due to an aneurysm treated with endovascular angioplasty with a retrievable stent. The variables used to measure safety were complications of the procedure and clinical complications. The variables used to measure radiological efficacy were improvement in the degree of stenosis after endovascular treatment and improvement or normalization of cerebral circulation time CTT). RESULTS: We included 16 angioplasty procedures with retrievable stents in 13 patients, in which 33 arterial segments were treated (10 ICA, 15 MCA, and 8 ACA). We observed no complications of the procedure in any patients and no clinical complications in patients who were not intubated. All but one of the patients who had delayed CTT at the beginning of the procedure showed improvements in CTT. The mean improvement in the degree of stenosis was 18% ± 11.65% in the ICA, 30.67% ± 18.45% in the MCA, and 28.38% ± 15.49% in the ACA. No statistically significant associations were observed between endovascular treatment variables and the degree of improvement in stenosis. CONCLUSION: Angioplasty with a retrievable stent is a safe and efficacious treatment for vasospasm secondary to SAH due to an aneurysm, improving CTT and stenosis.

RESUMO

Objetivo: El objetivo es informar de nuestro estudio multicéntrico de seguridad y eficacia acerca de la angioplastia con stent recuperable en el vasoespasmo secundario a la hemorragia subaracnoidea por aneurisma (HSAa). Métodos: Realizamos un análisis retrospectivo de una base de datos prospectiva de pacientes consecutivos sometidos a tratamiento endovascular mediante angioplastia con stent recuperable para el vasoespasmo relacionado con la HSAa en cuatro departamentos de neurorradiología intervencionista, entre enero de 2018 y julio de 2019. Incluimos a pacientes consecutivos mayores de 18 años con vasoespasmo mayor del 50% de la arteria carótida interna (ACI), la arteria cerebral anterior (ACA) y/o las arterias cerebrales medias (ACM) secundario a HSAa, tratado endovascularmente mediante angioplastia con stent recuperable. Las complicaciones del procedimiento y las complicaciones clínicas se registraron como variables de seguridad. Las variables de eficacia radiológica del procedimiento se definieron como la mejora en el porcentaje de estenosis después del tratamiento endovascular y la mejora o normalización del tiempo de circulación cerebral (TCC). Resultados: Incluimos 16 procedimientos de angioplastia con stent recuperable en 13 pacientes, con 33 segmentos arteriales tratados (10 ACI, 15 ACM y 8 ACA). No encontramos complicaciones de procedimiento en ningún paciente, ni complicaciones clínicas en pacientes no intubados. Todos los pacientes con TCC retrasado al principio del procedimiento, excepto uno, mostraron una mejora en el TCC. La mejora en el porcentaje de estenosis en la ACI fue de 18± 11,65 (media±DE), 30,67±18,45 en la ACM y 28,38±15,49 en la ACA. No encontramos ninguna asociación estadísticamente significativa entre las variables de tratamiento endovascular y la mejora en el porcentaje de estenosis.(AU)

RESUMO

RESUMEN El síndrome de vasoconstricción cerebral reversible es una entidad clínico-radiológica caracterizada por la presentación de cefalea severa de inicio hiperagudo tipo "trueno", con o sin signos y síntomas neurológicos adicionales en relación a una vasoconstricción arterial cerebral segmentaria que resuelve espontáneamente a los 3 meses. Por la superposición de las manifestaciones clínicas con otras entidades nosológicas, y por los múltiples factores etiológicos asociados, el diagnóstico se convierte en un reto; es imperativo realizarlo de forma temprana para la instauración de un tratamiento adecuado y la prevención de complicaciones. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente en quien se documentó como etiología la realización repetitiva de la maniobra de Valsalva sin otro factor concomitante, se exponen las intervenciones realizadas y se hace una revisión narrativa del tema con énfasis en el diagnóstico diferencial.


SUMMARY Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is a clinical-radiological entity characterized by severe and hyperacute onset-thunderclap headache, with or without additional neurological signs and symptoms in relation to a segmental cerebral arterial vasoconstriction that resolves spontaneously at around 3 months. Its clinical manifestations are similar to other diseases, and additionally there are multiple associated etiological factors; early diagnosis becomes a challenge, but is essential to establish proper treatment and prevent complications. We present the case of a female patient in whom the repetitive performance of the Valsalva maneuver without another concomitant factor was documented as etiology, the interventions performed are presented and a narrative review of the topic is made with emphasis on differential diagnosis.

RESUMO

Resumen El vasoespasmo cerebral es una complicación severa de la hemorragia subaracnoidea. La monitorización y la detección del vasoespasmo por mé- todos no invasivos, así como la terapia endovascular, han revolucionado la atención médica tradicional. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 45 años con aneurisma roto de la arteria comunicante anterior, quien desarrolló vasoespasmo severo refractario desde el octavo día de hemorragia subaracnoidea. El vasoespasmo fue detectado oportunamente con técnicas no invasivas y tratado en cinco ocasiones mediante terapia endovascular, logrando mejoría inmediata de los síntomas y sin secuelas neurológicas. Este reporte contribuye a demostrar el beneficio de la terapia endovascular múltiple para el manejo del vasoespasmo cerebral refractario, en combinación con la utilización de técnicas no invasivas para la monitorización y detección oportuna del vasoespasmo. Adicionalmente, se revisan las recomendaciones actuales de medicina basada en la evidencia sobre el uso del Doppler transcraneal para la detección del vasoespasmo cerebral.


Abstract Cerebral vasospasm is a severe complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Monitoring and detection of vasospasm by non-invasive methods as well as the endovascular therapy have revolutionized healthcare. A 45-years-old male patient presented with a ruptured aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery and developed severe refractory vasospasm since the eighth day of aneurysm rupture. Vasospasm was timely detected with non-invasive techniques and successfully endovascular therapy was provided five times with neurological and radiological recovery each time and no neurological sequelae. This report contributes to current practice as it demonstrates the benefit of repeated endovascular therapy for refractory cerebral vasospasm, especially when clinical and non-invasive monitoring shows persistence of this complication. Furthermore, we review the current evidence-based medicine recommendations about Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography that support the monitoring and detection of cerebral vasospasm.

RESUMO

La hemorragia subaracnoidea puede producirse por un traumatismo cráneo encefálico o cuando el denominado aneurisma (defecto en la estructura de la pared de un vaso sanguíneo) se rompe produciendo flujo de sangre en el espacio subaracnoideo. Al respecto, se desarrolló un estudio con enfoque mixto, de tipo no experimental, descriptivo, longitudinal prospectivo; cuyo fin fue describir la hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática en pacientes atendidos en la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Luis Vernaza, en la ciudad de Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador, durante el período comprendido desde enero hasta septiembre de 2016. En el mismo participa-ron 31 pacientes con diagnóstico de hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática, los que fueron atendidos en ese servicio de la institución en cuestión. Entre los resultados observados se puede destacar que: 24 de los 31 involucrados eran de género femenino, más del 90% de la población de estudio tenían más de 40 años de edad; la arteria comunicante posterior resultó la más afecta-da en los pacientes estudiados (32,26 %); el 58,33% de los casos tuvo compromiso cerebral con distintos grados de afectación; el 38,71% de la población de estudio desarrolló isquemia cere-bral tardía; se estableció una relación estadísticamente significativa entre esa última complica-ción y la administración de ácido tranexámico como parte del tratamiento para evitar resangra-do, el que se presentó solamente en el 16,13% de los pacientes participantes.


Subarachnoid hemorrhage can be caused by a traumatic brain injury or when the so-called aneu-rysm (defect in the structure of the wall of a blood vessel) ruptures causing blood flow in the subarachnoid space. Based on this, it was developed a study with a mixed approach, of a non-ex-perimental, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective type in order to describe aneurysmal subara-chnoid hemorrhage in patients treated in the intensive care unit of Luis Vernaza Hospital, in the city of Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador, during the period from January to September 2016. The study population was constituted by 31 patients diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemo-rrhage and treated at the service mentioned above. The results were: 24 of the 31 patients were female, more than 90% of the study population were over 40 years of age. The posterior commu-nicating artery was the most affected in the patients representing 32.26%, 58.33% of the cases had cerebral involvement with different degrees of involvement, 38.71% of the patients develo-ped late cerebral ischemia. A statistically significant relationship was established between this last complication and the administration of tranexamic acid as part of the treatment to avoid rebleeding, which occurred only in 16.13% of the participating patients.

RESUMO

Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio es describir las características clínicas, epidemiológicas e imaginológicas de 5 pacientes con diagnóstico de síndrome de vasoconstricción reversible. Métodos: Se hizo una evaluación retrospectiva de las historias clínicas de cinco pacientes con clínica e imágenes compatibles con síndrome de vasoconstricción cerebral reversible en un hospital de alta complejidad de la ciudad de Medellín. Resultados: Los cinco casos correspondían a mujeres con una edad promedio de 50 años. En un caso se identificó como posible agente causal el consumo de bebidas energizantes con alto contenido de taurina. Todos los pacientes se presentaron con hemorragia subaracnoidea en la convexidad y evolucionaron de forma favorable. Conclusión: El síndrome de vasoconstricción cerebral reversible debe ser uno de los diagnósticos diferenciales etiológicos de hemorragia subaracnoidea de la convexidad; se presenta predominantemente en mujeres entre la cuarta y sexta década de la vida y usualmente tiene un curso benigno.


Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical, epidemiological and imaging characteristics of 5 patients with a diagnosis of reversible vasoconstriction syndrome. Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the clinical records of 5 patients with clinical and imaging diagnosis of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome was carried out in a high complexity hospital in the city of Medellín. Results: The five cases were women with an average age of 50 years. In one case, the consumption of energy drinks with a high taurine content was identified as a possible causative agent. All cases presented with brain convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage. The clinical outcome was favorable. Conclusion: The reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage. It occurs predominantly in women between the fourth and sixth decade of life and usually has a benign course.

RESUMO

Objetivos: Establecer la asociación de vasoespasmo cerebral detectado por Doppler transcraneal y la condición clínica, de acuerdo con la escala de la Federación Mundial de Sociedades de Neurocirugía, y con otros factores de riesgo en pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea espontánea. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo de casos y controles, con 141 pacientes diagnosticados con hemorragia subaracnoidea espontánea a quienes se les realizó Doppler transcraneal de seguimiento entre el 8 de marzo de 2011 y el 15 de marzo de 2015. Del total de pacientes se escogieron 47 con vasoespasmo detectado por Doppler transcraneal y 2 controles, sin vasoespasmo, por cada caso (94 pacientes). En las historias clínicas y las imágenes de los pacientes se estableció la asociación entre la detección de vasoespasmo por Doppler transcraneal con la condición clínica neurológica en el momento del examen, y otros factores de riesgo. Para el análisis de las variables cualitativas se utilizaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Para variables cuantitativas se utilizó la prueba de Shapiro Wilk. Los datos con distribución normal se presentan con medias y desviaciones estándar y aquellos sin distribución normal con medianas y rangos intercuartiles. Se evaluó la homogeneidad entre los dos grupos a través de la prueba de Chi cuadrado y el test de homogeneidad de varianzas (Levene) de acuerdo con el tipo de variable. Se consideró estadísticamente significativa una p ≤ 0,05. Resultados: El análisis bivariado no demostró resultados estadísticamente significativos en la relación entre la condición clínica neurológica y el vasoespasmo, pero sí encontró que pacientes menores de 50 años de edad presentaron más vasoespasmo (OR de 3,55 [95 % IC; 1,52-7,39]), y p: 0,003 que los de mayor edad. Conclusiones: Los pacientes menores de 50 años de edad tienen más riesgo de desarrollar vasoespasmo y no existe asociación entre la condición clínica y los resultados del Doppler transcraneal.


Objectives: Establish the association between cerebral vasospasm, detected by transcranial doppler, with the clinical condition according to the scale of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and other risk factors in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Materials and methods: This is an observational retrospective case-control study, including 141 patients with a diagnosis of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage who underwent transcranial doppler monitoring in the radiology department of the University Hospital San Vicente Foundation (HUSVF) from 8 March 2011 to 15 March 2015. Of the total number of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, 47 cases with vasospasm, detected by transcranial Doppler, and two controls without vasospasm (94 patients) were consecutively chosen. Subsequently, we review the medical records and images stored in the hospital´s radiology department and established the association between vasospasm detection by trasncranial Doppler with clinical neurological status at the time of the study and other risk factors. For the analysis of the qualitative variables, absolute and relative frequencies were used. Quantitative variables were tested for normal distribution with a Shapiro Wilk test. Data with normal distribution were presented with means and standard deviations and those without normal distribution with medians and interquartile ranges. Homogeneity between the two groups were evaluated by Chi-square test and test for homogeneity of variances, Levene's test, according to the type of variable (qualitative and quantitative respectively). Results were considered statistically significant if p ≤ 0.05. Results: Data from 141 patients (47 cases and 94 controls) were analyzed. The bivariate analysis didn´t show statistically significant results in the relationship between vasospasm and clinical neurological condition but found that patients younger than 50 years had more vasospasm. In the adjusted model for patients with this age, the OR was 3.55 (95 % CI, 1.52-7.39) and p: 0.003 when compared with older patients. Conclusions: This study found that patients under 50 have a higher risk of developing vasospasm compared with older patients and that there is no association between clinical condition and the results of transcranial Doppler.

RESUMO

El Síndrome de Raynaud (SR) se define como una entidad, que afecta los vasos sanguíneos de las porciones dístales del cuerpo (dedos, orejas, nariz) y cuya característica clínica es la presencia de ataques episódicos de vasoespasmo, se explica por una hipersensibilidad local de las arterias digitales al frío, con una intensificación de esta anormalidad por la estimulación simpática normal, que generan isquemia tisular; aunque es una entidad de presentación alarmante, es importante reconocer el comportamiento benigno de ésta. Actualmente se han reconocido varios factores que influyen en la presentación del síndrome y que han permitido enfocar el manejo de estos pacientes. La simpatectomía periférica peri arterial es una alternativa para el manejo de estos pacientes sintomáticos que no responden con tratamiento conservador.


Raynaud’s syndrome is defined as an entity that affects the blood vessels of the distal portions of the body (fingers, ears, nose) and whose clinical feature is the presence of episodic attacks of vasospasm can be explained by a local hypersensitivity digital arteries to cold, with an intensification of this abnormality by normal sympathetic stimulation, which generates tissue ischemia, although a filing entity alarming, it is important to recognize this benign behavior. Have now been recognized several factors that influence the presentation of the syndrome, which allowed focus on the management of these patients. Periarterial peripheral sympathectomy is an alternative for the management of symptomatic patients who do not respond to conservative treatment.
