Abstract

Cerebrovascular complications occur in 25%–70% of patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Among these complications, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral abscess are frequently seen and usually the consequence of vegetation embolization or ruptured infectious (mycotic) aneurysm. Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a very rare complication of IE due to multiple septic brain embolisms. Presented herein was a 15-year-old child with a very rare presentation of ASDH, which resulted from ruptured mycotic aneurysm. To the best of our knowledge, only 13 cases have been reported in the literature with an ASDH due to IE. The reported case herein was the second child case with mycotic aneurysms- related ASDH and intracerebral hemorrhage. Also discussed were the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, and management of this rare neurologic complication of IE in the current knowledge. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features and management of subdural hematoma in pediatric patients with infective endocarditis in light of the literature.

Subdural Hematomun Nadir Bir Nedeni: Enfektif Endokarditi Olan Çocukta Çoklu Septik Beyin Embolisi

Abstract

Enfektif endokardit (İE) olan hastaların %25-70’de serebrovasküler komplikasyonlar ortaya çıkar. Bu komplikasyonlar arasında; iskemik inme, intraserebral kanama ve serebral apse sıklıkla görülür ve genellikle vejetasyonun embolizasyonu veya enfeksiyöz (mikotik) anevrizmanın rüptürü sonucu meydana gelir. Akut subdural hematom (ASDH), İE’in çoklu septik beyin embolisine bağlı çok nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Burada oldukça nadir görülen mikotik anevrizmanın rüptüre olmasından kaynaklanan ASDH vakası olan 15 yaşında bir çocuk sunuldu. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla literatürde İE bağlı ASDH gelişen sadece 13 vaka bildirilmiştir. Burada bildirilen vaka mikotik anevrizma ilişkili-ASDH ve intraserebral kanama olan ikinci çocuk olgudur. Ayrıca mevcut bilgiler dahilinde İE in bu nadir nörolojik komplikasyonunun patogenezi, klinik görünümü ve tedavisi de tartışıldı. Bu çalışmanın amacı, enfektif endokarditli çocuk hastalarda subdural hematomun klinik özelliklerini ve yönetimini literatür ışığında incelemektir.
