Herediter hemorajik telenjektazili bir vakanın, argon plazma koagülasyonu ve destek tedavisi kombinasyonuyla başarılı yönetimi

Herediter hemorajik telenjiektazi, otozomal dominant geçişli, birçok klinik bulguyla karakterize, anormal vasküler formasyonla ilişkili nadir gözlenen bir hastalıktır. Biz bu vakada, gastrointestinal sistemin multiple bölgesinde (özofagus, mide korpus ve antrumu, duodenum) anjiodisplazik lezyonlarla seyreden, öyküsünde dört kez geçirilmiş miyokard infarktüsü bulunan, acil servise melena ile başvuran 65 yaşındaki olguya tanı anında yapılan argon plazma koagülasyon ve supportif yaklaşım kombinasyonun tedavi başarısını gözlemledik. Tanı anında uygulanan argon plazma koagülasyon ve bipolar koagülasyon yöntemleri bir çok çalışmada tercih edilen yöntemler olmuştur. Bu nedenle biz bu olgumuzda argon plazma koagülasyon yöntemini ve çalış-malarda etkisi kanıtlanmış konservatif tedavi kombinasyonunu tercih ettik. Bizim vakamızın argon plazma koagülasyon yöntemiyle beraber destek tedavisine verdiği hızlı cevap argon plazma koagülasyonun herediter hemorajik telenjiektaziye bağlı anjiodisplazik lezyonlarda seçkin tedavi yöntemi olduğu görüşünü desteklemektedir.

The success of combination treatment in the management of a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome), a vascular disorder with autosomal dominant transmission, has a variety of clinical manifestations. In this case, we monitored a 65-year-old female who admitted to our hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding. Her history revealed repeated myocardial infarction (4 times). We diagnosed multiple angiodysplastic lesions with endoscopic examination. We evaluated the success of combination treatment with argon plasma coagulation and supportive approach at the time of diagnosis. argon plasma coagulation and bipolar coagulation methods have been reported as the preferred treatments in several studies. Therefore, we preferred the combination of argon plasma coagulation and conservative treatment methods in our case. The rapid healing observed with this treatment supports that combination treatment is effective in angiodysplastic lesions associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
