Infecções de derivações liquóricas em crianças: revisão de 100 infecções em 87 crianças

Abstract: RESUMO -Estudo retrospectivo analisando quadro clínico e resultados terapêuticos de 100 episódios de infecções em 87 crianças submetidas a derivações liquóricas no período de 1982 a 1995.O quadro clínico mais frequente foi aquele secundário ao processo inflamatório e os agentes etiológicos mais comuns foram os estafilococos. A infecção ocasionada por agente Gram negativo mostrou maior gravidade e esteve mais frequentemente relacionada a falha terapêutica.

“…This method is seen as a simple procedure unless there is anatomical variation in the floor of the third ventricle, especially in cases of long-standing hydrocephalus, and it also contributes as a less infectious form when compared with external ventricular drain. [13][14][15] The surgery for the total removal of the cavernous angioma from the case reported here was performed by supracerebellar supratentorial interhemispheric access due to the surgeon's experience and to the anatomical particularity of the region, which enabled safe access to the pineal gland following the cerebral falx and tentorium. Other surgical techniques could be used, such as intraoperative localization (neuronavigation) or stereotactic surgery.…”
