Dengue haemorrhagic fever is known for its haemorrhagic and neurologic complications. Neurologic complications are caused by three mechanism namely neurotropism, systemic complications causing encephalopathy and postinfectious immune-mediated mechanisms. However acute compressive neuropathy due to haemorrhage is not frequent and we could find no literature describing this.
We report a case of acute compressive ulnar neuropathy due to peri neural hematoma, following an attempt at intravenous cannulation in the cubital fossa in a patient of dengue haemorrhagic fever with thrombocytopenia. Immediate fasciotomy and removal of haematoma was performed to relieve the symptoms.
Compression neuropathies can be seen in dengue hemorrhagic fever and removal of compressing hematoma relieves symptoms.
登革出血热以其出血和神经并发症而闻名。神经并发症由三种机制引起,即嗜神经性、导致脑病的全身并发症和感染后免疫介导机制。然而,出血引起的急性压迫性神经病变并不常见,我们未找到描述此类情况的文献。
我们报告一例登革出血热合并血小板减少症患者,在肘窝进行静脉插管尝试后,因神经周围血肿导致急性压迫性尺神经病变。立即进行了筋膜切开术并清除血肿以缓解症状。
登革出血热中可见压迫性神经病变,清除压迫性血肿可缓解症状。
