RESUMO
AIM: The VACTERL association or Syndrome consists of Vertebral, Anorectal, Cardiac, Tracheo-Esophageal, Renal, and Limb defects. The diagnosis relies on the presence of at least three of these structural abnormalities. This study reports a single case of a patient with VACTERL Syndrome (VS), aiming to assist dentists in recognizing the general aspects, systemic changes, and oral care related to this condition. CASE REPORT: A 14-year-old female patient medically diagnosed with VS. The study evaluated the presence of systemic alterations, medication use, behavioral deviations, cognitive development, and oral aspects. The patient exhibited cardiovascular alterations including a ventricular septal defect (C), anal atresia (A), polydactyly (considered limb alteration-L), and scoliosis (a possible indication of vertebral anomalies-V). In the intraoral examination, findings included tooth crowding, enamel hypomineralization in several teeth, a deep and atretic palate, generalized gingivitis, bleeding, gingival hyperplasia, Class III malocclusion, and a right unilateral crossbite. CONCLUSION: Patients diagnosed with VACTERL syndrome experience significant systemic impairments. The research subject presented compromised oral health, challenges in dental management, delays in neuropsychomotor development, though these are not inherent to the syndrome. It is crucial to prevent oral diseases and provide early dental care for these patients to avoid the need for complex and invasive dental treatments due to systemic impairments.
RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Analisar o comportamento motor de uma criança com Síndrome de RubinsteinTaybi sob estimulação fisioterapêutica. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado com uma criança diagnosticada com SRT avaliada antes, durante e após sessões de fisioterapia através da Alberta Infant Motor Scale. O tratamento foi realizado no Centro de Integração Raio de Sol, em Aracaju/SE, onde as condutas foram aplicadas três vezes na semana, com duração de 50 minutos, e consistiram no treino das posturas neuroevolutivas. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se aumento nos escores de todas as posturas a partir da segunda avaliação, o que demonstra melhora no desenvolvimento motor. CONCLUSÃO: A intervenção fisioterapêutica pode trazer benefícios no tratamento do atraso característico da SRT, ratificando a importância de novos estudos que investiguem o desempenho motor e o efeito da estimulação precoce em crianças com essa síndrome.
OBJECTIVE: Analyze the motor behavior of a child with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome under physical therapy stimulation. METHOD: This is a case study realized with a child diagnosed with SRT, evaluated before, during, and after physiotherapy sessions, through the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. The treatment was fulfilled at the Sun Ray Integration Center located in the Santa Maria neighborhood, in Aracaju / SE in which the ducts were applied three times a week for 50 minutes and consisted in the training of neuroevolutionary postures. RESULTS: It was verified an increase in all postures scores in the second and third evaluations, which shows an improvement in motor development. CONCLUSION: The Physiotherapeutic intervention can bring benefits to treat the characteristic delay of SRT, confirming the importance of further studies investigating motor performance and the effect of early stimulation in children with this syndrome.

Introdução: O lábio é a região do corpo mais frequentemente acometida por anomalias vasculares (AV). A correta determinação da etiologia da lesão é determinante à escolha do tratamento do paciente e à correta condução do caso. O objetivo deste estudo é correlacionar o posicionamento anatômico e as características das lesões com o diagnóstico etiológico das AVs dos lábios, a fim de promover uma ferramenta que auxilie na prática clínica. Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de 150 pacientes com AV dos lábios, avaliados entre 1999 e 2017. O diagnóstico etiológico foi baseado na classificação de ISSVA 2014. Análise clínica e fotográfica foi realizada para avaliar o padrão anatômico de envolvimento e mapear as lesões. Resultados: Hemangioma infantil apresentou acometimento de apenas um lábio, em menor extensão e situado mais centralmente, com raro envolvimento de comissura oral. Malformações venosas e venolinfáticas (MVs) e malformações arteriovenosas (MAVs) envolveram o lábio superior predominantemente, situadas mais lateralmente e acarretando significativa deformidade. Contudo, MAVs apresentaram mais frequente extensão além dos limites do vermelhão. Os pacientes com malformações capilares (MCs) sofriam de acometimento integral do lábio inferior. Todos os casos de malformações linfáticas exclusivas (MLs) envolveram o lábio superior inteiro, com grande distorção. Conclusão: A apresentação inicial das AVs muitas vezes consiste em pequenas alterações, desafiadoras ao diagnóstico assertivo. Padrões específicos de acometimentos foram observados para cada diagnóstico etiológico estudado. O mapeamento pode ser utilizado como ferramenta auxiliar diagnóstica e contribuir para melhor intervenção nos pacientes com anomalias vasculares labiais.
Introduction: The lip is the body region more often affected by vascular anomalies (VAs). Identifying the appropriate etiology of the lesion is significantly important when determining the treatment of choice for the patient. This study aimed to determine the association between the anatomical positioning and the characteristics of the lesions and the etiological diagnosis of VAs of the lips to identify the appropriate tool to be used in clinical practice. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 150 patients with VA of the lips evaluated between 1999 and 2017. The etiological diagnosis was based on the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies 2014 classification. Clinical and photographic analysis was performed to assess the anatomical pattern of involvement and map the lesions. Results: An infantile hemangioma was observed to a lesser extent in only one lip and was situated more centrally, with rare involvement of the labial commissure. Venous and venous-lymphatic malformations and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) involving the upper lip were predominantly located more laterally and caused significant deformity. However, AVMs more often extended beyond the limits of the vermilion. Capillary malformations were observed in the entire lower lip in some patients. Simple lymphatic malformations were observed in the entire upper lip with significant distortion in some patients. Conclusion: The initial presentation of VAs often comprises minimal changes; hence, establishing an assertive diagnosis is considered difficult. Specific patterns of involvement were observed for each etiological diagnosis studied. Anatomical mapping can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool and can possibly identify an appropriate clinical intervention in patients with VAs of the lip.
