I.はじめに
脳神経外科領域における肺塞栓症についての報告は欧米では多くみられるが,わが国では少ない,しかしながら,面管障害における疾病の西欧化のみられる現在,肺塞栓症の増加も当然予想される.肺塞栓はその存在を疑わなければ,たやすく見逃される疾患であり,日本における頻度も今後診断率の上昇とともに増えていく可能性がある.われわれは過去二年間に入院した脳神経外科患者に於て5例の肺塞栓を経験したので,これらの経験をもとに脳神経外科患者の合併症としての肺塞栓症について検討を加えた.
The overall incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) among neurosurgical in-patients, whose ages ranged from 23 to 80, was 0.7%.
Our report here is based on five cases of patients with PE. Four of these five patients were over 50 years of age. They had been admitted because of such reasons as brain tumor, spinal cord injury, intracerebral hematoma, and venous sinus thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was seen in four but none were di-agnosed before they had developed PE. Decreased level of consciousness and prolonged bed rest appeared to be common risk factors for PE. Mean duration between admission and onset of PE was 31 clays.
