RESUMO

We report a dramatic case of meningococcal sepsis manifesting as purpura fulminans in an elderly diabetic woman. Hemodynamic instability and severe bilateral cutaneous lesions involving her hands and feet developed rapidly. Specific antibiotic therapy and the administration of inotropic and vasopressor drugs were initiated. The severity and extension of the cutaneous lesions (attributed to purpura fulminans) worsened because of the need for vasoconstrictors for the treatment of septic shock. Bilateral transmetatarsal and metacarpal amputations were required to stabilize the patient.

RESUMO

En este artículo exponemos el caso de un paciente de 82 años llevado a cirugía cardiaca para sustitución de válvula mitral. Quince años antes fue intervenido para sustituir su válvula aórtica, por lo que en realidad se trataba de una reintervención cardiaca. Después de la reesternotomía, y liberación de adherencias pericárdicas, se produjo una apertura accidental de una pequeña porción del peritoneo, procediéndose a reparar con sutura simple. En el postoperatorio, la presencia de neumoperitoneo alarmó sobre la posibilidad de una complicación intraabdominal asociada, descartada posteriormente dado el antecedente quirúrgico. En este artículo realizamos una revisión sobre lo que es el neumoperitoneo, sus causas y tratamiento, así como resaltamos causas posibles y no habitualmente consideradas como puede ser una cirugía cardiaca previa reciente, simplemente por el hecho de encontrar al paciente en diferentes contextos y no pensar en ellas.


Herein we present the case of an 82 year-old patient undergoing cardiac surgery for mitral valve replacement. Fifteen years earlier, the patient had undergone surgery to replace his aortic valve, so that it was now a cardiac reoperation. Through sternotomy, and release of pericardial adherences, there was an accidental opening of a small portion of the peritoneum, proceeding to repair with simple suture. Postoperatively, the presence of pneumoperitoneum alarmed about the possibility of an intra-abdominal complication but it was subsequently discarded with recent surgical process. Through this article we review what the pneumoperitoneum consist, its causes and management, as well as highlighting possible etiologies sometimes not considered as a recent cardiac surgery, simply because the patient in found in different contexts and we do not think about those possibilities.
