El tratamiento de la espasticidad severa medianteuna bomba programable de perfusión intratecal debaclofeno es una técnica ampliamente extendida. Lascomplicaciones que puede presentar son poco frecuentes,y generalmente leves, si bien también pueden ser deimportante gravedad. Además, la interrupción bruscade la perfusión de baclofeno intratecal puede condicionarimportantes efectos adversos.Presentamos el caso de un varón de 59 años de edadcon espasticidad crónica y distonía muscular deformanteque presentó una meningitis por Staphylococcus epidermidis debida a la contaminación del reservorio de la bomba de perfusión intratecal en uno de los rellenos del mismo. Se decidió tratar al paciente mediante la administración conjunta a través de la bomba de vancomicina junto al baclofeno. En conclusión, creemos que en estos pacientes no es necesario como primera medida el recambio de las bombas de perfusión intratecal. La administración conjunta de baclofeno y antibiótico a través de la bomba permite mantener el tratamiento antiespástico, esterilizar el reservorio y los sistemas de canalización de la misma y tratar eficazmente las infecciones producidas a través de estos sistemas
Baclofen via intrathecal infusion pump is a widely usedtreatment severe spasticity. Complications are rare andusually mild, though they can also be serious. The suddendiscontinuation of intrathecal baclofen may havesignificant adverse effects.We report the case of a 59-year-old man with chronicspasticity and torsion dystonia who developed meningitisdue to Staphylococcus epidermidis due to contamination ofthe intrathecal infusion pump reservoir during refilling. It was decided to treat the patient by administering vancomycin through the pump, together with the baclofen. We believe that changing the intrathecal perfusion pump is not necessary as the first measure to take in these cases. Combined infusion of baclofen and an antibiotic through the pump makes it possible to maintain antispastic treatment, sterilize the pump reservoir and tubes, and effectively treatinfections that develop during use of these systems
