ABSTRACT

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the bone that commonly affects the jaws with a higher prevalence in the maxilla than the mandible. It is a lesion of unknown etiology, uncertain pathogenesis, and diverse histopathology. Fibrous dysplasia can involve multiple bones (polyostotic) or a single bone (monostotic). It represents about 2 to 5% of all bone tumors and over 7% of all benign tumours. In this article we report the case of a 20 year old patient with monostotic fibrous dysplasia involving the left maxilla.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital disorder that occurs sporadically and features lesions of both skin and nervous system. We report a case of 7 year-old girl with Sturge-Weber syndrome and discuss its clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis and also emphasize the importance of its diagnosis in the clinical oral practice. CASE DESCRIPTION: The classic pathognomonic manifestations include angioma of the leptomeninges extending to cerebral cortex with ipsilateral angiomatous lesions, unilateral facial nevus affecting a division of trigeminal nerve, hemiparesis, intracranial calcification, mental retardation and refractory epilepsy. The most apparent indication of SWS is a facial birthmark or "Port Wine Stain" present at birth and typically involving at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. Management of a patient with Sturge-Weber Syndrome may be challenging due to risk of hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: The dentists should focus on comprehensive therapy, starting with behavior management and stress on preventive measures.


OBJETIVO: A síndrome de Sturge-Weber (SWS) é uma rara doença congênita que ocorre esporadicamente e apresenta lesões de pele e do sistema nervoso. Este artigo é um relato de caso de uma menina de 7 anos com SWS para discutir suas características clinicopatológicas, diagnóstico diferencial e enfatizar a importância do seu diagnóstico na prática clínica odontológica. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: As manifestações clássicas patognomônicas incluem angioma das leptomeninges que se estendem para o córtex cerebral com lesões angiomatosas ipsilaterais, nevo facial unilateral, que afetam uma divisão do nervo trigêmeo, hemiparesia, calcificação intracraniana, retardo mental e epilepsia refratária. A indicação mais evidente de SWS é uma marca de nascença facial ou "mancha vinho do porto" presente no nascimento e tipicamente envolvendo pelo menos uma pálpebra superior e a testa. O controle clínico de um paciente com SWS pode ser desafiador devido ao risco de hemorragia. CONCLUSÃO: Os dentistas devem adotar uma abordagem terapêutica abrangente, começando com o controle de comportamento e de estresse com medidas preventivas.
