Valor do gradiente de pressão retal e anal na evacuação em megacólon adquirido

Abstract: RESUMO: O megacólon resulta de lesão extensa dos plexos mioentéricos, a qual se traduz por incoordenação motora do cólon com inércia funcional e acalasia do esfíncter anal. Disso resulta duplo distúrbio, em que à dificuldade motora agrega-se o obstáculo para evacuar. Para que haja eliminação fecal é necessário que a pressão retal ultrapasse a anal, havendo um gradiente reto-anal. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar este gradiente em 29 pacientes portadores de megacólon, em que as pressões retais e anais foram m… Show more

“…Despite of an adequate relaxation of the puborectalis muscle during straining, the anal canal was not adequately opened, obstructing rectal emptying. Only after a considerable increase of intra-abdominal pressure that rectal contrast was eliminated, confirming Fang et al 31 theory that evacuation only occurs due to a difference of intrarectal pressure vs. resting pressure of the anal canal. At maximum stage of pushing, a funnel shape image was noted in the upper portion of the anorectal ring, which represents the dynamic display of the internal anal sphincter achalasia.…”

“…These values are below those reported by Cavenaghi et al, 28 and may be due to different methodological approach used in our service. We think that eliciting RAIR with very high intrarectal volume does not consubstantiate a normal physiological state, and may, as reported by Fang et al, 31 be an electromanometric evidence of the opening of the anal canal caused by significant increase of intrarectal pressure other than a normal RAIR.…”
