ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Demonstrar a importância da interpretação do acompanhamento pôndero-estatural de crianças e adolescentes obesos DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Menina de 12 anos e 11 meses encaminhada a um ambulatório terciário para acompanhamento de obesidade e dislipidemia. Referia ganho de peso a partir de oito anos, negava fazer atividade física e possuía alimentação adequada. Relatava obesidade na família do pai. Ao exame, bom estado geral, diminuição da pilificação e mixedema generalizados, pele ressecada e áspera. Peso com percentil entre 90 e 97, índice de massa corpórea (IMC) acima do percentil 97 e estatura abaixo do canal de crescimento. EXAMES LABORATORIAIS: T4: 0,04ng/ dL, TSH: >100uUI/mL, colesterol total: 326mg/ dL, HDL colesterol: 34mg/ dL, LDL colesterol: 45mg/ dL, triglicérides: 1599mg/ dL, glicemia em jejum: 81mg/dL e hemograma com discreta anemia normocrômica e normocítica. Fez-se o diagnóstico de hipotireoidismo e introduziu-se hormônio tireoidiano com boa resposta. A paciente trouxe 23 medidas prévias de peso e estatura, mostrando comprometimento de estatura e aumento de peso não valorizado. COMENTÁRIOS: A análise dos gráficos de crescimento é fundamental para o acompanhamento de todas as crianças e adolescentes, principalmente aquelas com sobrepeso e obesidade. A desaceleração da curva de crescimento em altura sugere doença associada; neste caso, o hipotireoidismo adquirido.


OBJECTIVE: To show the value of using the follow-up growth charts in clinical evaluation of obese children and adolescents. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 12 years and 11 months-old girl referred to a tertiary out-patient clinic to evaluate obesity and lipid abnormalities. She had weight gain since eight years old, had no physical activity and followed adequate eating habits. Obesity was referred in father's family. In physical examination, she looked well, with lack of body hair, generalized mixedema, dry and rough skin. Weight was between percentile 90 and 97; BMI was over the percentile 97 and height was under the growth channel. LABORATORY EXAMS: T4: 0.04ng/dL, TSH: >100uUI/mL, total cholesterol: 326mg/dL, HDL cholesterol: 34mg/ dL, LDL cholesterol: 45mg/dL, triglycerides: 1599mg/dL, fasting glicose: 81mg/dL and hemogram with normocromic and normocytic anemia. Hypothyroidism diagnosis was made and thyroid hormone was introduced with good response. The patient brought 23 previous heights and weight measurements, which showed height drop and weight gain in the growth chart, all of them undervalued. COMMENTS: Growth chart analysis is important for the follow-up of children and adolescents, especially those with overweight and obesity. The linear growth slowing suggests an associated sickness; in this case, an acquired hypothyroidism.
