Abstract

Resumen

            La lesión tumefacta desmielinizante es una variedad rara de la esclerosis múltiple, cuya fisiopatología no ha sido dilucidada. Son lesiones poco frecuentes, con una prevalencia cercana a los 0.3 casos por 100.000 habitantes. Su clínica corresponde a la de una lesión espacio ocupante cerebral de aspecto tumoral, y a pesar de considerarse una variante de la Esclerosis Múltiple (EM), no traduce la sintomatología típica de la misma. Por las razones anteriores, constituye un reto diagnóstico y terapéutico dada su similitud con patologías neoplásicas de sistema nervioso central, especialmente el glioma. Con el presente trabajo se pretende hacer una revisión de esta patología y ofrecer una herramienta para el diagnóstico, haciendo hincapié en las herramientas imagenológicas a fin de favorecer el tratamiento y minimizar en lo posible procedimientos invasivos.

Abstract

The Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesion (TDL) is a rare variety of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), whose physiopathology has not been yet dilucidated. Its prevalence is close to 0.3 per 100.000 habitants. Its clinical presentation is that of a space occupying lesion, and despite being a variety of MS, it doesn´t manifest the typical symptomatology.  Given these reasons, it constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, since it easily resembles central nervous system neoplastic pathologies, for example, gliomas. In this paper we aim to deliver a diagnostic and therapeutic tool, highlighting the process based in imagenologic devices to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.

Resumo

A lesão inchada desmielinizante e uma variante esquisita da Esclerose Múltipla, cuja fisiopatologia não foi elucidada ainda. A sua prevalência está perto de 0.3/100.000 habitantes. Sua manifestação clínica e duma lesão espaço ocupante, e ainda sendo variante da MS, não presenta seus sintomas clássicos. E por isto, que o diagnóstico e o tratamento e um reto, especialmente porque simula patologias neoplásicas do Sistema nervosa central como o glioma. Neste artigo, tentamos fazer uma ferramenta diagnostica e terapêutica, sublinhando a utilização de técnicas de imagens para evitar os procedimentos invasivos.
