ABSTRACT

Introdução: Cirurgiões bucomaxilofaciais frequentemente tratam fraturas do complexo zigomaticofacial e, com isso, os sinais e sintomas auxiliam o profissional a estabelecer o diagnóstico e a conduta frente a cada caso. A presença de alteração de sensibilidade é um sintoma frequente neste tipo de trauma. Objetivo: Avaliar comparativamente a presença e as alterações de sensibilidade subjetiva e sensibilidade objetiva após fraturas de zigoma. Metodologia: Foram selecionados 14 pacientes com fraturas unilaterais de zigoma. A sensibilidade subjetiva foi avaliada por meio de um questionário e a sensibilidade objetiva, mensurada por meio do monofilamento de Semmes-Weinstein. Resultado: Os resultados mostraram alteração de sensibilidade em 13 pacientes (92,84%); destes, oito pacientes (57,13%) apresentaram alterações de ordem subjetiva e dez (71,42%), de ordem objetiva. Alterações concomitantes de sensibilidade subjetiva e sensibilidade objetiva foram encontradas em cinco pacientes (35,71%). Afetados exclusivamente por um tipo de alteração de sensibilidade somaram oito pacientes (57,13%); destes, cinco pacientes (35,71%) apresentaram somente alterações objetivas e três pacientes (21,42%), apenas alterações subjetivas. A única queixa de sensibilidade subjetiva encontrada foi a hipoestesia, com sete casos (50%). Conclusão: As alterações de sensibilidade são frequentemente encontradas após fraturas de zigoma, existindo uma forte correlação entre a perda da percepção subjetiva e a perda da sensibilidade objetiva; porém, ocorre predominância de alterações de ordem objetiva.


Introduction: Maxillofacial surgeons often treat zygomatic facial complex fractures, therefore, signs and symptoms of these fractures help establish the diagnosis and the procedure for every case. The presence of sensibility alteration is a common symptom in this type of trauma. Objective: This study evaluated comparatively the presence and changes of subjective and objective sensitivity after zygomatic fractures. Methodology: Fourteen patients were selected with unilateral fractures of zygomatic. Subjective sensitivity was evaluated through a questionnaire and objective sensitivity measured by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament. Result: The results shows sensibility alteration was found in 13 patients (92.84%), of these, 8 patients (57.13%) had changes of subjective order and 10 (71.42%) of objective order. Concomitant changes in subjective and objective sensitivity were found in 5 patients (35.71%). Patients affected only by one type of sensibility alteration totaled 8 patients (57.13%); of these, 5 patients (35.71%) had only objective alterations and 3 patients (21.42%) only subjective sensitivity alterations. The only complaint of subjective sensitivity was hypoesthesia in 7 cases (50%). Conclusion: The sensitivity changes are often found after zygomatic fractures there is a strong correlation between the loss of subjective perception and objective, however, especially the changes in the objective order.

ABSTRACT

During routine activities in the Laboratory of Human Anatomy at the University of Santa Cruz do Sul – Brazil, an atlanto-occipital fusion was observed in a Caucasian cadaver skull. The skull used in our study had complete fusion of the occipital bone with the atlas vertebra, except in traffic areas of the vertebral arteries. Some important neurological disorders seem to be related with atlanto-occipital fusion. The presence of other anatomical variations was not verified. Thus, the present study shall be important for health sciences and those who keep some interest in pathologies associated with brain.
