Objective To describe and analyze the cases of Fournier’s Gangrene caused by perianal abscess treated in a tertiary hospital in western Paraná, correlating possible factors that influence mortality, with emphasis on late diagnosis and therapy. Methods A retrospective and descriptive case series was carried out based on the analysis of medical records of patients with Fournier’s Gangrene due to perianal abscess from January 2012 to December 2017. Results Thirty-one patients with Fournier’s Gangrene due to perianal abscess were treated in the period: 26 men and 5 women. Mean age was 53.51 ± 14.5 years. The most prevalent comorbidity in this group was type 2 diabetes mellitus, showing a strong correlation with mortality. The mean time from disease progression, from the initial symptom to the admission at the service, was 9.6 ± 6.81 days. All patients were submitted to antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment, with a mean of 3.25 ± 2.89 procedures/patient. Seven (22.58%) patients died and all of them showed signs of sepsis on admission; only 2 patients with sepsis did not die. Conclusion The presence of sepsis on admission and type 2 diabetes mellitus were strongly correlated with mortality.
RESUMEN Introducción Hernia diafragmática traumática (HDT) se puede evolucionar con diversas complicaciones. Pacientes con lesión asociada al pericárdico, presentan risco de evolucionar con complicaciones específicas que se pueden llevar al óbito. Objetivo Este estudio tiene como objetivo dos casos de HDT con extensión pericárdico, con presentación o complicación grave e específica. Casos clínicos Primer caso: Paciente masculino de 34 años fue víctima de una caída de nivel de 8 metros de altura. Tomografía computadorizada (TC) mostró herniación del estómago para la cavidad torácica, líquido intraperitoneal y fracturas de la pelvis y acetabular. Fue sometido a laparotomía exploratoria por inestabilidad hemodinámica. En el postoperatorio inmediato, se observó la saída de alto flujo sanguíneo por tubo torácico, necesitando acercamiento por toracotomía, siendo realizado ligación del vaso sangrante del pericárdico. Presentó Buena evolución postoperatorio y sigue en la asistencia. Segundo caso: Paciente masculino de 54 años fue víctima de atropellamiento por motocicleta. Tomografía computadorizada mostró herniación del estómago para el saco pericárdico. Desarrollo un cuadro clínico de tamponamiento cardíaco y fue sujeto a laparotomía, que mostró hernia diafragmática intrapericárdica, la cual fue reducida, con mejora hemodinámica inmediata. Sin embargo, el paciente evolucionó con disfunción de múltiple órganos y sistemas, y falleció, dos días después de la admisión. Conclusiones La HDT con extensión pericárdica puede tener presentación o complicaciones específicas, como tamponamiento pericárdico por vísceras abdominales y sangría del pericárdico, que pueden llevar a óbito si no identificado y tratada rápidamente. Importancia clínica Debido la alta morbilidad y mortalidad, el diagnóstico precoz de la lesión pericárdica asociada a la hernia diafragmática a través de imagen y mientras la cirugía es de gran importancia, permitiendo un enfoque dirigido, que se pueda mejorar el desenlace clínico del paciente.

Goal:To analyze the profile of patients with DES treated in a tertiary public hospital in Oeste do Paraná. Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study was carried out based on the analysis of medical records of patients with FS from January 2012 to November 2016. Results: 40 patients with DES were treated in the period: 29 (72.5%) men and 11 (27.5%) women. The mean age was 51.7 ±16.3 years. The mean time of disease evolution, from the initial symptom to admission to the service, was 10.5 ± 1.2 days. All patients had some clinical sign such as pain, bulging, erythema, among others, and associated comorbidities (38 patients -95%), the most common being type II diabetes mellitus (DM) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). The majority (30 patients -75%) had a probable etiology of perianal abscess. All patients underwent antibiotic therapy and surgical treatment with a mean of 1.8 ± 1.1 surgeries/patient. Nine (22.5%) patients died. There was a strong correlation between the presence of sepsis on admission and mortality. Conclusion: Patients with FS in this series had a long time of disease and a high prevalence of comorbidities. It is possible that improvements in the basic health system, with control of underlying chronic diseases and early referral to a specialist, improve the prognosis of these patients.
