Abstract

Lewy body dementiaisa neurodegenerative dementing disorder. It is most common form of dementia
after Alzheimer’sdisease. Dementia with Lewy bodies is primarily characterized as
cognitive decline, visual hallucinations and motor features (parkinsonism).
Other clinical symptoms include REM (rapid eye movement) sleep behavior disorder, serious neuroleptic sensitivity and dysautonomia
support diagnosis. Both postoperative cognitive deficit and post operatif
delirium are more common in elderly patients with Lewy body dementia than
normal elderly patients and elderly patients with other dementias such as
Alzheimer disease.We presented women cases;
first case 65years old occured post operatif cognitif deficity and postoperative
hypoactive delirium after pelvic fracture operation and the other one 60 years old
occurred postoperative cognitive deficit and postoperative hyperactive delirium
after appendicitis surgery. In patients
with Lewy body dementia, early diagnosis and treatment of surgery complications
are very effective to prevent morbidity and mortality.
Also clinicans should determine and reduce probable risks of
preoperative and intraoperative complications in patients with Lewy body dementia.

Cerrahi girişimlerin Lewy body demansa etkisi: iki olgu sunumu

Abstract

Lewy body demans Alzheimer hastalığından sonra ikinci
sıklıkta görülen nörodejeneratif demanstır.
Kardinal bulguları bilişsel
bozukluk, görsel halüsinasyonlar ve
motor bulgular (parkinsonizm)dır. Aynı
zamanda REM (rapid
eye movement) uyku davranış bozukluğu ve ciddi
nöroleptik duyarlılığı ve disotonominin
varlığı tanıyı destekleyici bulgulardır.

Lewy body demans
tanılı olgularda post operatif bilişsel bozuklukta artış ve
post operatif deliryum normal yaşlı populasyonu ile Alzheimer hastalığı ve diğer
demans olgularına göre daha sık görülmektedir.
Bu yazıda biri 65 yaşında kalça kırığı nedeniyle cerrahi operasyon
sonrası hipoaktif deliryum ve sonrasında
bilişsel fonksiyonlarda bozulmada artış gözlenen, diğeri 60 yaşında sonrası hiperaktif deliryum ve bilişsel bozulmada artış gözlenen iki adet erkek olası Lewy body demans olgusu sunduk.
Lewy body demans olgularında cerrahi sonrası komplikasyonların erken tanısı ve
tedavisinin ciddi morbidite ve mortaliteyi
önlemede oldukça etkin olduğu akılda tutulmalıdır.
Ayrıca klinisyenler Lewy body demans olgularında preoperatif ve intraoperatif dönemde komplikasyon gelişimini
azaltmak için olası riskleri saptamalı ve en aza indirgemeye çalışmalıdırlar.
