Abstract

Stroke in children is relatively uncommon. We describe an 8-year-old boy diagnosed with primary eosinophilic granuloma (EG) of the frontal bone. After excision of the EG, the postoperative course was eventful. The patient had an acute right middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct and had been comatose with a diminished Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 5. Urgent decompressive hemicraniectomy with duraplasty was performed. The postoperative course after the second operation was uneventful. Hematological tests revealed a diagnosis of factor V Leiden. The patient was discharged with left hemiparesis and GCS of 15. To the best of our knowledge, no such clinical picture of MCA infarction after EG excision has been described before. Neurosurgeons should be aware of inherited thrombophilias, such as factor V Leiden, if the postoperative clinical course worsens because of cerebral artery thrombosis. Also, decompressive hemicraniectomy could be life saving and should be performed urgently without any hesitation.

Özet

Çocuklarda inme göreceli olarak nadirdir. Frontal kemikte primer eozinofilik granülom (EG) tanısı almış 8 yaşında erkek çocuk hastayı sunmaktayız. EG'nin eksizyonundan sonra, postoperatif seyir beklenmedik şekilde gelişti. Hasta akut sağ orta serebral arter (OSA) infarktı geçirip, Glasgow Koma Puanı (GKP) 5'e düşüp, koma halini aldı. Acil dekompresif hemikraniyektomi ve duraplasti yapıldı. İkinci operasyondan sonra hastanın postoperatif seyri olağandı. Hematolojik testlerde faktör V Leiden teşhisi konuldu. Hasta GKP 15 ve sol hemiparezi ile taburcu edildi. Bilgilerimiz ışığında, EG eksizyonu sonrası OSA infarktı olan bu şekilde bir klinik tablo henüz bildirilmemiştir. Eğer serebral arter trombozundan dolayı postoperatif klinik gidişat kötüleşir ise, nöroşirürjiyenler faktör V Leiden gibi kalıtımsal trombofililerin de bu durumun sebebi olabileceğinin farkında olmalıdırlar. Ayrıca dekompresif hemikraniyektomi, bu gibi inme durumlarında acilen ve tereddütsüz olarak uygulandığında hayat kurtarıcı olabilir.
