Abstract

In this paper, we reported a 15 years old case of acute meningoencephalitis who had persistent fever despite improvement in other clinical and cerebrospinal fluid findings with treatment. In the investigation of fever etiology, abdominal ultrasonography revealed splenic cysts of varying sizes. After percutaneous drainage of the largest cyst, fever decreased dramatically, so it was concluded that the infected splenic cyst was the cause of the persistent fever. Splenic cysts are rare in childhood which are often asymptomatic and detected accidentally. In this case report, the symptoms and treatment modalities of splenic cysts were reviewed.

Özet

Bu makalede, akut meningoensefalit tanısı alıp, tedavi ile diğer klinik ve beyin omurilik sıvısı bulguları düzelmesine rağmen ateşi devam eden 15 yaşında bir olgu sunuldu. Ateş etiyolojisi araştırıldığında, batın ultrasonografisinde değişik boyutlarda dalak kistleri saptandı. En büyük kistin perkutan drenajı ile ateş dramatik olarak düştü ve inatçı ateşin nedeninin enfekte dalak kisti olduğu sonucuna varıldı. Dalak kistleri çocukluk çağında nadir görülen, çoğunlukla asemptomatik seyreden ve tesadüfen saptanan oluşumlardır. Bu olgu sunumunda, dalak kistlerinin semp-tomları ve tedavi şekilleri gözden geçirildi.
