Successful ECT treatment of a treatment resistant manic bipolar patient with intracra- nial mass and pulmonary embolism history: Case report

Öz:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective and safe treatment method used in many psychiatric disorders. The efficacy and safety of ECT in the presence of an intracranial mass is controversial. The presence of a space-occupying mass was a contraindication to ECT until the 1980s. With the changes in ECT protocols over time and its application to more patients, positive data on the safety of ECT in intracranial masses have begun to accumulate. Available data suggest that ECT can be safe- ly used in patients with benign, small, and otherwise clinically insignificant tumors. A history of pulmonary embolism (PE) accompanying a psychiatric disorder may cause clinicians to avoid ECT. There are some concerns regarding the use of ECT in patients with a history of PE as there is little evidence for the safety of the implemen- tation of ECT. Although there is limited evidence regard- ing the safety of ECT in the presence of comorbidities, ECT can be successfully implemented where there is no response to other treatments with the necessary consul- tations and close follow-up, without delaying the treat- ment. In this article, a case who had been followed up with a bipolar affective disorder diagnosis, was hospita- lized for manic episode, who had comorbidities such as intracranial tumor and PE history, who did not benefit from psychotropic treatments and who responded sig- nificantly to nine sessions of ECT without any complica- tions is presented. The case presented here is, as far as is known, the first report where comorbidities such as intracranial tumor and pulmonary embolism history, which may cause clinicians to hesitate to implement ECT, co-exist.

İntrakranial kitlesi ve pulmoner emboli öyküsü olan tedaviye dirençli manik bipolar hastada başarılı EKT uygulanması: Olgu sunumu

Öz:
Elektrokonvülsif terapi (EKT), birçok psikiyatrik hastalıkta kullanılan etkin ve güvenli bir tedavi yöntemidir. İntrakranial kitle varlığında EKT’nin etkinliği ve güvenilirliği tartışmalıdır. 1980’li yıllara kadar yer kaplayan kitle varlığı, EKT için kontrendikasyon olarak kabul edilmekteydi. Zaman içinde EKT protokollerinin değişmesi ve daha çok hastaya uygulanmasıyla birlikte intrakranial kitlesi olan hastalarda EKT’nin güvenilirliği ile ilgili olumlu veriler birikmeye başlamıştır. Eldeki veriler EKT’nin benign, boyut olarak küçük ve klinik olarak önemsiz tümörleri olan hastalarda güvenle uygulanabileceğini göstermektedir. Psikiyatrik bir bozukluğa eşlik eden pulmoner emboli (PE) öyküsü kli- nisyenlerin EKT uygulamasından kaçınmasına sebep ola- bilir. PE öyküsü olan hastalarda EKT uygulamasının güvenliğine ilişkin az sayıda kanıt olması nedeniyle hasta- larda EKT uygulanmasıyla ilgili bazı endişeler vardır. Komorbid durumlar birlikteliğinde EKT’nin güvenliğiyle ilgili sınırlı sayıda kanıt olmasına rağmen, diğer tedaviler- den yanıt alınamadığında, gerekli konsültasyonlar ve yakın takip eşliğinde tedavide gecikmeye izin vermeden EKT başarıyla uygulanabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, bipolar affektif bozukluk tanısı ile takip edilen, manik atak nedeniyle yatarak tedavi gören, intrakranial tümör, geçirilmiş PE gibi komorbiditeleri olan, uygulanan psikotrop tedavilerden fayda görmeyen ve 9 seans EKT uygulamasından komplikasyon gelişmeden belirgin yanıt alınan bir vaka sunulmaktadır. Burada sunulan vaka bilindiği kadarıyla, klinisyenlerin EKT uygulamasında tereddüt edebildiği intrakranial tümör ve pulmoner emboli öyküsü gibi komorbiditeleri bir arada bulunduran ilk bildirimdir.
