A Síndrome de Tolosa-Hunt (THS) é caracterizada pelo surgimento de uma oftalmoplegia dolorosa periorbital ou retroorbital com quadros de diplopia e oftalmoparesia relacionados ao comprometimento do nervo oculomotor ipsilateral. Ademais, observa-se que o exame clínico detalhado e as análises de neuroimagens por meio da ressonância magnética (RNM) são considerados pontos fundamentais para o diagnóstico dessa doença rara. Devido à relevância dessa temática o presente estudo descreve um relato de caso de um homem de 55 anos diagnosticado com THS sem manifestações radiológicas. Para tanto, utilizou-se como mecanismo de investigação do caso exames clínicos de motricidade ocular e uma RNM com a finalidade de complementar os achados importantes na história pregressa do paciente. Diante dos estudos, no exame físico evidenciou-se uma alteração na motricidade ocular extrínseca de olho direito, com paralisia do músculo reto medial e oblíquo superior, porém na RNM não se constatou nenhuma alteração significativa. Em síntese, esse estudo aponta que dentre os diversos dados publicados para o tratamento da THS, optou-se por uma abordagem utilizando corticoterapia, resultando assim em uma remissão completa dos sintomas clínicos.
No abstract
Health care-related infections (HAI), popularly known as nosocomial infections, are an important cause of hospital morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study is to analyze the mortality due to HAI in the referral hospital in Cacoal, Rondônia. The methodology consists of a quantitative retrospective cross-sectional observational study, analyzing patients notified by HAI in the Hospital Infection Control Commission of the Cacoal Reference Hospital in 2021, including patients over 18 years of age and analyzing the evolution, types of infections and notified etiological agents. There were 161 cases, of which 58 were ventilator-associated pneumonia, 48 were urinary tract infections, and 35 were bloodstream infections. Of the 138 patients, 70 died and 68 were discharged from the episode. The case fatality rate was high, reaching 50.72%. Despite this, it follows the pattern of other institutions in the country. Thus, the problem of HAI in the hospital environment is noted, reinforcing the need for measures to prevent and control such infections.
