Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

496
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

606
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Summary

Deep cervical abscesses (DCA) remain a serious infection, particularly in adults who experience more severe complications. Understanding age-related differences in deep neck abscesses is crucial for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Deep cervical abscess (DCA) incidence has decreased due to antibiotics but remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
  • This retrospective study examines clinical-surgical experiences with DCAs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present clinical-surgical experience with deep neck abscesses.
  • To compare clinical features and outcomes of DCAs in pediatric versus adult patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 101 patients with deep neck abscesses over six years.
  • Comparison of clinical features, including age, etiology, affected areas, comorbidities, and complications, between children and adults.

Main Results:

  • Adults (73.3%) predominated, with higher comorbidity rates (51 patients).
  • Common etiologies included tonsillitis (31.68%) and odontogenic infections (23.7%).
  • Adults showed more multispace involvement (41.8%) and severe complications like septic shock (16.8%); mortality was 1.98%.

Conclusions:

  • DCA clinical features and severity differ between age groups, influenced by infection site and adult comorbidities.
  • Adults with DCA face higher risks of multispace involvement and severe complications compared to children.
