ABSTRACT

Objetivo Identificar possíveis alterações fonoaudiológicas de crianças com Incontinência Pigmentar (IP), buscando caracterizar o papel da Fonoaudiologia na avaliação e manejo dessa condição genética. Métodos A amostra foi composta por sete crianças do gênero feminino com diagnóstico de IP. Todas foram submetidas aos procedimentos de avaliação nas áreas de motricidade orofacial, deglutição, fala e voz. Resultados Os pacientes que compuseram a amostra tinham média de idade de 6,4 anos. Dentre as principais características clínicas estruturais verificadas, destacaram-se a presença de diastemas não fisiológicos e anormalidades de palato duro, encontradas em 85,7% da amostra, além da agenesia dentária em 71,4% dos casos. Quanto aos achados funcionais, 71,4 % apresentaram alteração de mobilidade da língua e 57,1 %, mastigação inadequada. Em relação às alterações de fala, os principais achados foram alterações fonéticas e/ou fonológicas, verificadas em 85,7% da amostra, sendo mais comum a alteração fonética caracterizada pela distorção na fricativa alveolar [s], presente em 57,1% dos casos. Nenhuma das crianças apresentou alteração de voz e deglutição, de acordo com o protocolo utilizado. Além disso, não se evidenciou anormalidade de audição, de acordo com a queixa familiar ou por meio da observação durante a avaliação. Conclusão Nesta amostra, as alterações fonoaudiológicas mais frequentes entre os pacientes com IP relacionaram-se, principalmente, com as estruturas do sistema estomatognático e com a fala. .


Purpose To identify possible speech-language disorders in children with Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP), seeking to characterize the role of speech therapy in the evaluation and management of this genetic condition. Methods The sample was composed of seven female children diagnosed with IP. Results The patients in the sample had a mean age of 6.4 years. Among the main structural features verified in the patients, highlighted the presence of no physiological diastema and hard palate abnormalities, found both in 85.7 % of the sample, in addition to tooth agenesis in 71.4% of cases. As for functional findings, 71.4 % of the sample had abnormal tongue mobility and 57.1%, inappropriate chewing. As for changes in speech, the main findings consisted of phonetic/phonological alterations, verified in 85.7 % of the sample, being the most common phonetic alteration characterized by distortion of alveolar fricative [s], present in 57.1 % of cases. None of the children had abnormal voice and swallowing according to the used protocol. Furthermore, no detectable hearing abnormality was observed according to claim of the family or by observation during the evaluation. Conclusion In this sample the most frequent speech-language alterations verified among the patients with IP were mainly related to the stomatognathic system structures and speech. .

ABSTRACT

Introduction Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, also referred to as Goldenhar syndrome, is a condition characterized by alterations involving the development of the structures of the first and second branchial arches. The abnormalities primarily affect the face, the eyes, the spine, and the ears, and the auricular abnormalities are associated with possible hearing loss. Objective To analyze the audiological findings of patients with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum through liminal pure-tone audiometry and speech audiometry test. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted on 10 patients with oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum and clinical findings on at least two of the following areas: orocraniofacial, ocular, auricular, and vertebral. All patients underwent tonal and vocal hearing evaluations. Results Seven patients were male and three were female; all had ear abnormalities, and the right side was the most often affected. Conductive hearing loss was the most common (found in 10 ears), followed by sensorineural hearing loss (in five ears), with mixed hearing loss in only one ear. The impairment of the hearing loss ranged frommild to moderate, with one case of profound loss. Conclusions The results show a higher frequency of conductive hearing loss among individuals with the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum phenotype, especially moderate loss affecting the right side. Furthermore, research in auditory thresholds in the oculoauriculo- vertebral spectrum is important in speech therapy findings about the disease to facilitate early intervention for possible alterations. .

ABSTRACT

Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is a rare condition characterized by the involvement of the first branchial arches. PURPOSE: To investigate the ear abnormalities of a sample of patients with OAVS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 12 patients with OAVS seen at the Clinical Genetics Unit, UFCSPA/CHSCPA. The study included only patients who underwent mastoid computed tomography and with normal karyotype. We performed a review of its clinical features, giving emphasis to the ear findings. RESULTS: Nine patients were male, the ages ranged from 1 day to 17 years. Ear abnormalities were observed in all patients and involved the external (n=12), middle (n=10) and inner ear (n=3). Microtia was the most frequent finding (n=12). The most common abnormalities of the middle ear were: opacification (n=2), displacement (n=2) and malformation of the ossicular chain. Agenesis of the internal auditory canal (n=2) was the most frequent alteration of the inner ear. CONCLUSIONS: Ear abnormalities are variable in patients with OAVS and often there is no correlation between findings in the external, middle and inner ear. The evaluation of these structures is important in the management of individuals with OAVS.


O espectro óculo-aurículo-vertebral (EOAV) é uma condição rara caracterizada pelo envolvimento dos primeiros arcos branquiais. OBJETIVOS: Verificar as alterações auriculares de uma amostra de pacientes com EOAV. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: A amostra foi constituída de 12 pacientes com EOAV atendidos no Serviço de Genética Clínica da UFCSPA/CHSCPA. Foram incluídos no estudo apenas pacientes submetidos à tomografia computadorizada de mastoide e com cariótipo normal. Realizou-se uma revisão dos seus achados clínicos, dando-se ênfase aos achados auriculares. RESULTADOS: Nove pacientes eram do sexo masculino, idades variaram de 1 dia a 17 anos. Anormalidades auriculares foram observadas em todos os pacientes e envolveram a orelha externa (n=12), média (n=8) e interna (n=3). A microtia foi o achado mais frequente (n=12). As alterações mais comuns da orelha média foram: opacificação da mesma (n=2), e o deslocamento (n=2) e a malformação da cadeia ossicular (n=2). A agenesia de conduto auditivo interno (n=2) foi a anormalidade mais frequente da orelha interna. CONCLUSÕES: Alterações auriculares são variáveis em pacientes com EOAV, não existindo muitas vezes uma correlação entre os achados da orelha externa, média e interna. A avaliação destas estruturas é importante dentro do manejo de indivíduos com EOAV.
