dc.description.abstractIntroducción. El absceso cerebral es una colección de pus dentro del parénquima cerebral que se focalizada y encapsula. El dispositivo Halo Vest es una opción no quirúrgica para el tratamiento del traumatismo cervical. La penetración del pin en la tabla interna craneal es considerada responsable de los abscesos cerebrales siendo su localización más común la región temporo-parietal. El microrganismo aislado reportado más frecuente es S. aureus Descripción del caso: Masculino de 20 años quien acudió por presentar alteración de funciones mentales superiores, convulsiones tónico-clónicas y alzas térmicas. Con el Antecedente de Traumatismo Raquimedular Cervical ASIA Motor Score 100 puntos complicado con Fractura de Odontoides tipo IIB quien amerito órtesis con Halo Vest. Al ingreso Regulares condiciones generales, hipertérmico, tolerando la deambulación sin apoyo, consiente, disartrico, bradipsíquico. Sin focalidad de nervios craneales ni vías largas, con control autonómico Hemograma con Leucocitos: 6800x103/ʋl (Segmentados 58%, linfocitos 42%), VSG 50mm/1h y PCR 3.9 mg/dl. TAC: hipodensidad redondeada, homogénea con realce en anillo en región parietal izquierda de aproximadamente 2.4 x 2.5 cm con halo hipodenso perilesional e hipodensidad heterogénea, difusa en región parietal izquierda asociada a compromiso de tabla interna por pines de Halo Vest compatible con área de absceso cerebral encapsulado y probable fase de cerebritis. Se realiza el diagnóstico de Absceso Cerebral Parietal Bilateral como complicación postoperatoria del presente caso Discusión y conclusiones: El absceso cerebral secundario a la colocación del halo chaleco representa una complicación infrecuente y requiere de una presunción diagnóstica precoz. El presente caso es anecdótico en la literatura sobre el tema puesto que los reportes señalados son únicos y la presencia de lesiones bilaterales no son frecuentes en lo reportados hasta el momento. Aunque no hay ensayos aleatorizados prospectivos que respalden el uso de profilaxis antibiótica antes de la colocación de la órtesis con halo, debe considerarse como opción terapéutica de forma individual esto dependiendo sobre los factores de riesgo asociados con el paciente, como antecedentes de inmunosupresión. Tras el manejo el paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente.spa
dc.description.abstractIntroduction: brain abscess is a collection of pus within the brain parenchyma that becomes localized and encapsulates. The Halo Vest device is a non-surgical option for the treatment of whiplash. The penetration of the pin into the internal cranial table is considered responsible for brain abscesses, its most common location being the temporo-parietal region. The most frequently reported isolate is S. aureus. Description of the case: A 20-year-old male who attended for presenting alteration of higher mental functions, tonic-clonic convulsions and temperature rises. With a history of Cervical Spinal Cord Trauma ASIA Motor Score 100 points complicated with Type IIB Odontoid Fracture who required an orthosis with Halo Vest. On admission Regular general conditions, hyperthermic, tolerating walking without support, conscious, dysarthric, bradypsychic. Without focal cranial nerves or long pathways, with autonomic control Hemogram with Leukocytes: 6800x103/ʋl (58% segmented, 42% lymphocytes), ESR 50mm/1h and PCR 3.9mg/dl. CT: rounded, homogeneous hypodensity with ring enhancement in the left parietal region of approximately 2.4 x 2.5 cm with perilesional hypodense halo and heterogeneous, diffuse hypodensity in the left parietal region associated with compromise of the internal table by Halo Vest pins compatible with brain abscess area encapsulated and probable phase of cerebritis. The diagnosis of Bilateral Parietal Brain Abscess is made as a postoperative complication of this case.  Discussion and conclusion: Brain abscess secondary to the placement of the halo vest represents an infrequent complication and requires an early diagnosis. This case is anecdotal in the literature on the subject since the reports indicated are unique and the presence of bilateral lesions are not frequent in those reported so far. Although there are no prospective randomized trials to support the use of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to halo splint placement, this should be considered as a therapeutic option on an individual basis depending on patient-associated risk factors, such as a history of immunosuppression. After handling, the patient evolved satisfactorily.eng
