Bacterial Meningitis and Lumbar Epidural Hematoma Due to Lumbar Acupunctures: A Case Report

背部針灸術造成細菌性腦膜炎及腰椎硬膜外血腫:-病例報告

摘要


針灸在中國的傳統醫學中一直扮演著重要的角色,它被使用來治療許多疾病。因為針灸的過程需要侵入性地將刺入病人的體內,因此許多的併發症也被報告出來。本病例為一位48歲的女性,由於長期背痛而接受針灸治療。其方式為以20公分左右長針透過衣服,連續在脊椎旁穿索十餘針,她在一週內曾接受三次的灸治療,在第三次治療後因嚴重的臀部,下肢疼動,頭痛,發燒,畏寒,頸部僵硬侕至急診室求診,經病理學診斷為腦膜炎,腰椎振造影掃描顯示在第一及第二腰椎硬膜外有一紡綞狀長約5公分的血塊,同時有髓鞘內出血現象。經過適當的抗生素治療,三週後理學檢查恢復正常,而且腰椎磁振掃描追蹤檢查亦顯示血塊已完全吸收。回賴已發表的文獻,針灸的併發症可分為下列四類:(1)由使用的工具所造成:例如將整支針埋入體內或部份針斷在體內:(2)由不適當的消毒過程所引起:例如局部感染,心內膜炎,肝炎及HIV的感染;(3)由操作不當所造成的直接傷害;例如:氣胸,心包膜填充,脊髓受傷及假性動脈瘤的形成;(4)由間接因素所造成的傷害:例如接觸性皮膚炎和敏性皮膚炎。由針灸治療而造成腰椎硬膜外血塊,髓鞘內出血,發炎及腦膜炎的病例尚未被報告過。本病例報告描述造成原因,診斷及處理方式和預後,並認為針灸治療應由合法且具有執照的醫師執行,才可避免許多不必要的併發症。

A 48-year-old female expressed signs of meningeal irritation after having received several lumbar acupunctures within one week for back pain. Bacterial meningitis was diagnosed from cerebrospinal fluid examinations. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) of spine at admission demonstrated a fusiform lesion with characters of subacute hematoma in the epidural space of the first and second lumbar level. She received antibiotics treatment only and recovered from her central nervous system infection completely. The epidural lesion disappeared spontaneously in the MRI follow up three weeks later. We report diagnosis and follow-up of epidural hematoma of the lumbar spine by MRI which aided the medical physician to treat meningitis attentively.
