Introducción. Un linfedema es el aumento de fluido rico en proteínas y macromoléculas en el espacio intersticial de un segmento corporal con incremento de volumen en el miembro afectado, el cual causa cambios fibroescleróticos progresivos en los tejidos.Objetivo. Informar sobre la evolución clínica y el análisis de la progresión de un paciente de 52 años con linfedema bilateral primario estadio II.Presentación del caso. Paciente masculino de 52 años quien había sufrido por más de 20 años edema linfostático; el sujeto había recibido diversas opiniones y tratamientos inefectivos los últimos 5 años, hasta que llegó a la Clínica Godoy en Sao Jose de Rio Preto, Brasil, en el año 2016, en donde fue sometido a proceso de terapia intensiva según el modelo de tratamiento propuesto por Godoy & Godoy.Conclusión. Se obtuvieron resultados favorables en un periodo muy corto de tiempo; durante el proceso se observaron distintas evoluciones clínicas en cada pierna, aun recibiendo ambas el mismo tratamiento.
A taxa de mortalidade cirúrgica do aneurisma de ilíaca roto é similar à do aneurisma de aorta abdominal roto, devido à sua localização profunda na pelve, dificuldade de exposição distal da ilíaca decorrente do hematoma, bridas devido a laparotomia prévia e proximidade com ureter e estruturas venosas. O objetivo do presente estudo é enfatizar o procedimento endovascular como mais uma opção na correção dessas lesões. Relata-se o caso de um paciente de 60 anos de idade, submetido a derivação com enxerto aorto-biilíaco prévio com prótese há 5 anos, por aneurisma de aorta abdominal infra-renal, apresentando rotura de aneurisma em segmento remanescente da ilíaca comum esquerda. Estava hemodinamicamente estável após ressuscitação com fluidos e foi submetido ao tratamento endovascular de urgência, com a exclusão do aneurisma e ausência de vazamentos.
Background
Viral infection into lung, muscular, and endothelial cells results in inflammatory response, including edema, degeneration, and necrotic alterations. The involvement of the major arteries in adolescent with COVID-19 has been infrequently reported in the literature. The aim of the present study is to report thrombosis of the right iliac, femoral and tibial arteries and stenosis of left iliac artery in an adolescent with COVID-19 and to discuss the pathophysiological hypotheses.
Case presentation
We report the case of a 17-year-old female patient with COVID-19 infection. She was seen at the physician specialized general medicine in her hometown, was diagnosed with COVID-19 but did not require hospitalization. After 15 days, she had sudden pain in the left leg that has limited her ability to walk more than 10 met, associated with extremity cyanosis and coldness. Angiotomography revealed thrombosis of a portion of the iliac and popliteal arteries. Na emergency embolectomy was successfully performed, followed by full-dose heparinization with unfractionated heparin.
Conclusion
Arterial thrombosis of large arteries may be associated with chronic inflammatory syndrome secondary to COVID-19 infection and the treatment with a late embolectomy was successful, even in a thrombotic event.
