ABSTRACT

Objective. To disscuss a less common complication of middle ear surgery. Meningoceles are dural herniations that can fill the mastoid cavities through congenital or aquired bony defects of the mastoid walls. They can complicate the postoperative course of surgery for chronic middle ear disease.

Material and method. Case presentation showing one patient who developed a mastoid meningocele after extensive cholesteatoma surgery.

Disscussion. The causes of dural herniation into the mastoid cavities are presented. Some hypothesis regarding the factors that favor the occurence of this complication are presented.

Conclusions. Surgical closing of the bone gap in the mastoid wall was the treatment we used. We can not ascertain yet the long term results of such surgical maneuver, regarding the technique and the graft we used. Attention to the mastoid surgical detail and good postoperative intensive care could prevent such complications.

Keywords: mastoidectomy, meningocele, cholesteatoma

REZUMAT

Obiective. Se face o trecere în revistă a rolurilor jucate de metaloproteinaze în raport cu sistemul imun.

Material şi metodă. Recenzia articolelor publicate pe această temă în perioada 2001-2014. Cercetarea s-a efectuat prin utilizarea bazelor de date PubMed şi ScienceDirect.

Rezultate. Nu există o uniformitate în ceea ce priveşte materialul de studiu şi metodele de cercetare. Nici baza clinică nu oferă o patologie uniformă pentru testarea acestor enzime.

Concluzii. Metaloproteinazele matriceale sunt enzime tisulare cu roluri multiple şi încă incomplet elucidate. Legăturile dintre aceste enzime şi sistemul imunitar pot reprezenta o sursă potenţială în viitor pentru un posibil tratament eficient al unor variate tipuri tumorale.

Cuvinte cheie: metaloproteinaze matriceale, tumori
