ABSTRACT

A Síndrome de Down é provocada pela trissomia do cromossomo 21, sendo a anomalia cromossômica mais comum em humanos.Esta condição genética caracteriza-se por múltiplas anomalias esqueléticas, incluindo a instabilidade atlantoaxial que ocorreem 9-31% dos pacientes, apresentando consequências clínicas em 1-3% dos mesmos. Este estudo tem por objetivo relatar umcaso de instabilidade atlantoaxial com repercussões clínicas de tetraparesia. Relato de caso: Menino de 10 anos, portadorde Síndrome de Down sem conseguir levantar-se por três meses. O exame clínico revelou tetraparesia com confirmação deinstabilidade atlantoaxial através de radiografia lateral de coluna cervical evidenciando distância atlanto-odontóide de 6mm...


Chance fracture, suggestive of a flexion-distraction mechanism, is an uncommon type of injury in the pediatric population. Itsoccurrence, with associated intra-abdomimal lesions, has increased with the widespread use of seat belts.

In this paper we report the case of three siblings, victims of a motor vehicle head-on collision,either presenting seat belt fracture or Chance fracture. They were treated in the Hospital João XXIII, Belo Horizonte. The casereported reinforces the hypothesis describing the fracture mechanism and associated intra-abdominal injuries...
