Resumen

Las lesiones medulares, en función de su etiología, se pueden dividir en dos grandes grupos que incluirían las de causa traumática (responsables del 70% de las paraplejías adquiridas del adulto) y las de causa médica, incluyendo en este segundo grupo, la patología propia de la médula (tumores, infecciones, esclerosis en placas, lesiones vasculares) y la patología derivada de una compresión extrínseca (epiduritis infecciosa o neoplásica, tumor o parasitosis ósea y espondilodiscitis).

La patología vascular medular es menos frecuente que la cerebral, siendo su incidencia real desconocida. La forma habitual de presentación clínica es una tetra- o paraplejía flácida de comienzo brusco, frecuentemente con dolor por debajo del nivel de la lesión, pérdida de la sensibilidad infralesional y afectación de la función esfinteriana.

Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente con una paraplejía completa secundaria a una hemorragia medular en el contexto probable de un Síndrome de Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber, proceso poco frecuente caracterizado por la presencia de malformaciones vasculares en una extremidad, junto con una hipertrofia de los tejidos blandos y/o óseos y lesiones cutáneas.

Summary

The spinal cord injuries, based on their etiology, can be divided into two large groups that would include those of traumatic cause (responsible for 70% of adult acquired paraplegies) and those having a medical cause, including, in this second group, the pathology characteristic of the spinal cord (tumors, infections, sclerosis in plaques, vascular lesions) and the disease arising from extrinsic compression (infectious or neoplastic epiduritis, tumor or bone parasitosis and spondylodiscitis).

Spinal cord vascular disease is less frequent than the cerebral one, its real incidence being unknown. The common form of clinical presentation is sudden onset flaccid tetra- or paraplegic, frequently with pain below the level of the lesion, loss of infra-lesional sensitivity and involvement of the sphincterial function.

We present the clinical case of a patient with complete paraplagia secondary to spinal hemorrhaging in the probable context of the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, a process that is rare and characterized by the presence of vascular malformations in a limb, together with hypertrophy of the soft tissues and/or bones and skin lesions.

Key words:
Spinal cord injuries
Spinal hemorrhaging
Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome
