Resumen

PARETS SARDINAS, María; RICARDO VERDECIA, Caridad; ALARCON REYES, Flavia  y  SANCHEZ MARTINEZ, María N.. Granuloma letal de línea media: experiencia con un paciente. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2000, vol.16, n.2, pp.106-110. ISSN 0864-0319.

A retrospective study of a foreign patient with midline lethal granuloma diagnosed at the "Cira García" Central Clinic, in l998, was conducted. A granulomatous and necrotic process takes place progressively in this disease that destroys the nose, the perinasal sinuses and other facial structures. This is an uncommon disease and may be produced by different infectious neoplastic, autoimmune and idiopathic diseases. Most of the patients carriers of this disease had a short-term evolution. We assessed the aspects in which we could help with a medical treatment in order to improve the quality of life of the patients and to extend, if possible, their life. As it is a little known disease and we had the opportunity to give it attention, we were able to identify those problems affecting physical well -being, as well as serious problems of selfconcept. The main objective of our paper is to show the significant nursing care received by these patients and their relatives.

Palabras clave : GRANULOMA, LETHAL [nursing]; NURSE-PATIENT RELATIONS; PROFESSIONAL-FAMILY RELATIONS.
