Absceso cerebral infantil

Abstract

Introduccion El absceso cerebral es una infeccion poco frecuente en la infancia pero de una alta morbimortalidad que actualmente ha disminuido gracias al diagnostico precoz debido a los avances en la imagen neurorradiologica y a las mejoras en la antibioterapia. Se describen 6 casos diagnosticados y seguidos en el Hospital Infantil Gregorio Maranon de Madrid desde enero de 1996 hasta septiembre de 2003. Metodos Se analizan de forma retrospectiva las historias clinicas recogiendose la edad, sexo, manifestaciones clinicas, exploracion, estudio radiologico, etiologia, tratamiento y evolucion clinica de los mismos. Resultados La edad de los pacientes se encuentra comprendida entre 8 y 15 anos (media: 11 anos); tres de ellos eran mujeres y 3 varones. Predominaron las manifestaciones neurologicas y cuatro de ellos tenian infeccion otorrinolaringologica asociada (sinusitis), uno cardiopatia cianogena y otro una meningitis. El diagnostico se efectuo mediante tomografia computarizada (TC) en 5 casos y en uno mediante resonancia magnetica (RM). La localizacion fue en 5 casos frontal y el tratamiento en todos ellos se realizo mediante antibioterapia de amplio espectro necesitando abordaje quirurgico cinco de ellos. Dos pacientes tuvieron secuelas neurologicas. Conclusiones Aunque el absceso cerebral es infrecuente hay que tenerlo en cuenta ante sintomas neurologicos asociados a la infeccion otorrinolaringologica o cardiopatia cianogena, debiendose realizar una TC (o RM) y, tratandose con antibioticos de amplio espectro y en algunos casos drenaje quirurgico.
