ABSTRACT

A paralisia de pregas vocais representa 10 por cento das anomalias congênitas da laringe, sendo a segunda causa mais comum de estridor laríngeo na infância. Quando considerada a paralisia de prega vocal unilateral, a principal causa é a lesão iatrogênica do nervo laríngeo recorrente esquerdo secundária à cirurgia para correção da persistência do canal arterial. Nesse trabalho fazemos uma revisão da literatura e relatamos um caso de uma criança que após a cirurgia de fechamento da persistência do canal arterial evoluiu com dificuldade respiratória e disfonia. Sugerimos o uso da fibronasofaringolaringoscopia flexível no pré e pós-operatório de crianças com indicação de cirurgia cardíaca para correção de anomalias congênitas, permitindo deste modo o diagnóstico precoce de paralisia de prega vocal e a definição de conduta o mais rápido possível.

ABSTRACT

In spite of the steady increase in the incidence of Staphylococcus aureus infections, it remains a relatively uncommon cause of meningitis. To our knowledge, no series of community-acquired S. aureus meningitis (CASAM) restricted to children has been published. So far in this retrospective study we report our experience with CASAM in children, hospitalized from 1983 to 1998 at Nossa Senhora da Glória Children's Hospital (HINSG). During the sixteen-year study period, 2,319 new cases of acute pyogenic meningitis were diagnosed at HINSG. Community-acquired S. aureus was identified as the causative agent in 30 patients (1.3 percent). The predominantly spinal localization of the agent is stressed. In contrast with publications which analyze adults, it has a better prognosis
