Abstract

Ureterosigmoidostomy, a urinary diversion procedure performed for treatment ofcongenital urologic defects or bladder cancer, can rarely presents with hyperammonemia even in the absence of coexistent liver disease. Here, we report the caseof a 47-year-old man who developed hyperammonic encephalopathy 43 years afterureterosigmoidostomy. Therefore, hyperammonemic encephalopathy after ureterosigmoidostomy is an iatrogenic, but treatable problem which must be considered inthe differential diagnosis of altered consciousness in the critical care settings.

Özet

Doğuştan ürolojik defektlerin veya mesane kanserinin tedavisi için yapılan bir üriner diversiyon prosedürü olan Ureterosigmoidostomi, eşlik eden karaciğer hastalığının yokluğunda bile nadiren hiperammonemi ile seyredebilir. Burada, üreterosigmoidostomi sonrası 43 yıl hiperammonik ensefalopati gelişen 47 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Bu nedenle, üreteroopigmoidostomi sonrası hiperammonemik ensefalopati, kritik bakım ortamlarında değişmiş bilinçliliğin ayırıcı tanısında dikkate alınması gereken iyatrojenik, ancak tedavi edilebilir bir problemdir.
