Stimulation EMG was performed before the operation and on the 7th day after surgery. Estimated amplitude of the M-response to the speed of motor and sensory fibers, F-wave. Results: 15 patients (7 -men, 8 -women) after heart surgery debuted сritical illness polyneuropathy confirmed by EMG. Patients with signs of polyneuropathy in the postoperative period in 100% of cases had multiple organ failure syndrome and systemic inflammatory response, (p b 0,01). These patients were longer in the intensive care unit, (p b 0,05), longer they were held ventilation, more often required inotropic support, (p b 0,05) and more likely to suffer pneumonia, (p b 0,05). Conclusions: Critical illness polyneuropathy can develop in patients that have undergone heart surgery with cardiac bypass as the result of multiple organ injury syndrome and systemic inflammation response syndrome. Comorbidity background, types of heart surgery, the technique of surgical intervention, especially of anesthetic, duration of respiratory care, inotropic support and sedation are not the cause of critical illness polyneuropathy in patients undergoing heart surgery.
Mais recentemente, estudos histoquímicos e ultraestruturais ressaltaram a importância das alterações das miofibrilas e das mitocôndrias, embora para alguns autores tais anormalidades não sejam específicas.Nossa finalidade é relatar um caso não familiar de miopatia ocular tipo Kiloh-Nevin com alterações distróficas em outros músculos do esqueleto e tecer algumas considerações sobre os achados histoquãmicos e ultraestruturais. OBSERVAÇÃO J. S., sexo masculino, 43 anos de idade, refere que desde há aproximadamente 10 anos começou a notar queda das pálpebras, que foi se agravando progressivamente. Depois surgiram dificuldades na movimentação dos olhos em todos os sentidos e
