Sturge-Weber syndrome is a congenital, neurocutaneous disorder, with an incidence of 1 in 20,000 - 50,000 births, characterized by a port wine-colored facial and scalp patch, leptomeningeal angiomatosis and glaucoma, caused by a change in the GNAQ gene on chromosome 9 (9q21.2). It has no clear genetic pattern so there is no direct evidence of hereditary predisposition. Early diagnosis is necessary as there may be complications such as glaucoma, vascular stenosis, epilepsy, neurological and neurocognitive impairment. This article aims to describe the case of a rare syndrome, its clinical manifestations and treatment. Case report: 8-year-old male patient with a history of seizures since 7 months of age associated with Sturge Weber syndrome, treated with oxcarbazepine and phenobarbital. At the age of 3 years, during his hospitalization, he presented several tonic-clonic seizures, cardiorespiratory arrest and was started with advanced CPR for two minutes. Brain angioresonance was performed, which reported angiomatosis in left sigmoid sinuses and encephalic magnetic resonance imaging, which reported left temporal parietal occipital cortical atrophy associated with linear and nodular millimetric calcifications. Thanks to current research it is known that the syndrome is produced by a mutation in the GNAQ gene, however, its etiology is not yet proven. The development of this clinical case provides important information on the onset and clinical course of WSS manifested by facial angioma, glaucoma and seizures at an early age.

The article addresses the issue of Traumatic Brain Injury (TCE) and its incidence in different contexts. It is reported that TBI has an incidence rate of 579 per 100,000 person/year, with traffic accidents being the main cause, followed by falls. It is considered the main cause of disability in people from 15 to 44 years old, with a predominance in males in relation to sports practice, driving means of transport, and the use of neurostimulant substances or work causes. An updated bibliographic review of the descriptive nature of decompressive craniectomy in traumatic brain injury was conducted during the months of July and August 2022. Scientific articles in databases such as Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Clinical Key were reviewed, complementing the information with high-impact journals such as Scielo, Scopus, reviews of randomized controlled clinical trials, systematic reviews, and approaches. meta-analysis, where keywords were investigated. It was found that Third World countries, especially in Latin America, have higher incidence rates due to poor road culture and education, along with a high range of injuries caused by traffic accidents and violence, and deficient care in health services.

The health complications that are responsible for most deaths from trauma worldwide are traumatic brain injury (TBI) and intracranial hypertension (ICH), refractory to neurointensive and neuroprotective management, representing a significant problem in public health. In this context, decompressive craniectomy, a technique that had fallen into disuse in the past, has regained relevance over the last decade due to its outstanding results in the management of intracranial hypertension, being used systematically in cases of severe head trauma and other causes of ICH. Given the current epidemiology of traumatic brain injury, a comprehensive review of the scientific literature is essential to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in traumatic brain injury. Early identification and proper management of intracranial hypertension are crucial to prevent or minimize irreversible brain damage and improve long-term outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: A brain abscess is an accumulation of infected material, such as pus and necrotic tissue, in the brain. It can occur due to bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections in the body that spread to the brain. Objective: The aim of the study was to interpret brain abscess using a systematic review with PRISMA 2020 methodology. Methods: The study was exploratory level, relying on hermeneutics to interpret the systematic review with the PRISMA 2020 methodology, carried out in the SCOPUS, Web Science, SciELO and PubMed Central databases, specifically, 53 results were achieved. Results: It was found that the analyses carried out in Latin America on the clinical, radiological, and pathological manifestations associated with brain abscess indicate that the predominant symptoms include fever, headache, altered level of consciousness and seizures, and that most abscesses are in the frontal and temporal lobe. Multiple risk factors for mortality and morbidity in patients with brain abscess were identified, including delay in diagnosis and treatment, presence of comorbidities, and abscess size. A higher mortality rate was observed in patients with brain abscess in Latin America compared to other regions of the world. Conclusions: It was concluded that early identification of underlying causes may help prevent recurrence of brain abscess. Several future studies are suggested including the use of fuzzy logic and neutrosophy associated with brain abscesses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cerebral Palsy is the most common form of motor disorder in childhood. The risk factors associated with this disorder are difficult to establish since its etiology is frequently multifactorial. A descriptive study was carried out, with a sample of 152 patients diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, treated in the period from March 2020 to January 2022. To carry out the investigation, the bibliography taken from sites such as Pubmed, Dialnet, and Scielo, among others, was consulted. The medical records of these patients were also reviewed, in order to establish the risk factors associated with the etiology of this condition. They were subjected to expert consultation, which was processed through the application of Compensatory Fuzzy Logic in its neutrosophic extension. This strategic analysis allowed us to know that the highest percentage of cases is located in the Perinatal Period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the main infection control problems in modern hospitals, significantly prolonging the stay at the hospital and increasing the cost of treating patients with infections. They are the leading cause of failure for both patients and staff, including the need for repeated surgeries. The objective of this study is the epidemiological and microbiological analysis, through neutrosophic statistical tools, of surgical site infections after vascular surgery in a highly specialized vascular surgery center in the city of Guayaquil, in which 327 vascular operations were performed, during the year 2019 and the follow-up of patients was taken into account as required, until 2020. The neutrosophic hypothesis tests applied allowed us to identify possible problems in the vascular surgery room from their comparison with multicenter studies described in the literature, specifically, from the National and State HAI Progress Report of the USA, as well as to rule out the classification of the state of the patient as a possible predictor of SSI diagnoses at this hospital.
