- Abordagem cirúrgica no tratamento da displasia fibrosa craniofacialexperiência de 14 anos(2014) ALONSO, NIVALDO; MATUSHITA, HAMILTON; ALESSI, MARIANA SISTOABSTRACT Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia is benign tumor of the craniofacial skeleton that primarily affects young patients. It is characterized by the progressive growth of benign fibrous tumors with resulting functional and aesthetic deformities. This study assesses the clinical and prognostic features in patients with fibrous dysplasia who underwent surgical treatment at our institution. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 19 patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, treated between January 1997 and December 2011 with bone remodeling and surgical resection. We also review the literature regarding fibrous dysplasia. Results: Patients ranged between 8-65 years old, with a mean age of 21.75 years. Ten patients (52.7%) were women. The polyostotic form was predominant and present in15 cases (78.9%). The sphenoid, ethmoid, and frontal bones were most commonly involved in the polyostotic form and the mandibular and zygomatic bones were most commonly involved in the monostotic form. The main complaint was asymmetry of the face. One patient developed decreased visual acuity. Treatment was based on surgical resection and graft reconstruction in the localized form of the disease, and bone abrasion and remodeling in the polyostotic form. Intracranial access was necessary in only one case (5.2%) where the optic nerve was compressed. Repeat surgical treatment due to recurrent tumor growth was necessary in three patients. The only complication occurred in a patient who developed lagophthalmos and epicanthus postoperatively after undergoing surgery using infraorbital access. No other complications occurred during shortand long-term follow-up. Functional preservation and facial contour recovery outcomes were satisfactory. Conclusion: Our experience, along with that of other investigators, demonstrates that surgery is effective in treating selected cases of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia.
- Major clinical features of synostotic occipital plagiocephaly: mechanisms of cranial deformations(2014) MATUSHITA, Hamilton; ALONSO, Nivaldo; CARDEAL, Daniel Dante; ANDRADE, Fernanda Goncalves deThe clinical diagnosis of most common single-suture craniosynostosis is easily set, based on the stereotype of deformities and knowledge of the mechanisms of cranial deformations. However, synostosis of unilateral lambdoid suture, probably due to its lower incidence and similarity with other non-synostotic deformities affecting the posterior portion of the skull, makes its clinical diagnosis more difficult and imprecise. The aim of this study is to evaluate the most easily and accurate clinical characteristics to be recognized in the synostotic occipital plagiocephaly. This study consisted of clinical evaluation of eight patients with synostotic occipital plagiocephaly, whose diagnosis was further corroborated by computed tomography. We identified the following: unilateral occipital flattening in eight out of eight patients (100 %), bulging of ipsilateral mastoid process in eight out of eight (100 %), ""edge effect"" of ipsilateral lambdoid suture in eight out of eight (100 %), inferior deviation of the ear in eight out of eight (100 %), ""Dumbo"" ears in eight out of eight (100 %), horizontal slant of the bimastoid line in seven out of eight (87.5 %), tilt of the head viewed from behind in seven out of eight (87.5 %), trapezoidal contour of the skull in top view in six out of eight (75 %), contralateral parietal bossing in six out of eight (75 %), and bossing of the contralateral forehead three out of eight (37.5 %). The most important clinical features specific to the clinical diagnosis of synostotic occipital plagiocephaly, not present in the positional posterior plagiocephaly, were bulging of the ipsilateral mastoid process, edge effect of the synostotic lambdoid suture, tilt of the head, and slant of the bimastoid line viewed from behind, inferior deviation of the ear, and contralateral parietal bossing.
