Abstract

Autonomic dysreflexia is a lethal syndrome seen in patients with spinal cord injury and needs urgent treatment. It is the extreme reaction of sympathetic nervous system to any noxious stimuli below the neurologic level in spinal cord injured patients with T6 or upper neurological level. The characteristic findings of this disorder include hypertension, headache, excessive sweating, flushing and pyloerection. Noxious stimuli are mostly originated from the urinary tract. The main therapeutic approach is to remove the triggering factors. In this article, a case with recurrent autonomic dysreflexia attacks due to renal calculus was presented.

Özet

Otonomik disrefleksi (OD), omurilik yaralı hastalarda görülen ve acil tedavi gerektiren hayatı tehdit edici bir sendromdur. Genellikle, T6 ve üstünde omurilik yaralı hastalarda lezyon seviyesinin altındaki herhangi bir ağrılı uyarana karşı sempatik sistemin aşırı ve yoğun bir reaksiyon göstermesinden kaynaklanır. Hipertansiyon, baş ağrısı, terleme, kızarıklık ve piloereksiyon gibi vazomotor instabiliteye ait bulgularla seyreder. En sık uyarı nedeni üriner sistemden kaynaklanır. Tedavide temel yaklaşım OD atağına neden olabilecek uyarının bulunup ortadan kaldırılmasıdır. Bu makalede renal taşa bağlı tekrarlayan OD atakları geçiren tetraplejik bir hasta sunulmuştur.
