Abstract:
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) complicated with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare.We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of two patients with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) complicated with CVST who were hospitalized in Xi′an children′s Hospital from December 2018 to April 2019, inquired the relevant literature, analyzed the clinical diagnosis and treatment characteristics, and discussed the diagnosis and treatment measures of RMPP complicated with CVST.Two cases were 6-year-old girls with fever and cough as the main symptoms.After physical examination, the respiratory sounds of the affected lung decreased, and the sounds of phlegm and dampness could be heard in both lungs.Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) antibody and RNA were positive.Chest CT showed lobar pneumonia with a large number of pleural effusion.The effect of macrolide antibiotics anti infection treatment was not good.Headache symptoms occurred during the course of the disease, and serum D-dimer increased significantly.Brain MRI showed CVST, including 1 case with lower extremity pain, and B-ultrasound showed right lower extremity arterial embolism.After anti infection, thrombectomy, anticoagulation and symptomatic treatment, 2 cases were discharged.When children with MPP, especially those with RMPP, have extracranial thrombosis and/or neurological symptoms, accompanied by elevated serum D-dimer, the possibility of CVST should be considered, and brain MRI examination should be performed in time to confirm and actively treat, which can reduce or avoid the occurrence of sequelae.Thrombosis may be related to excessive inflammatory reaction and vascular endothelial injury caused by MP infection.
