ABSTRACT

Introdução: A mielomeningocele (MMC) é uma das formas de disrafismo que resulta do defeito de fechamento da porção posterior dotubo neural, durante a quarta semana de gestação. Objetivos: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos recém-nascidos portadores de (MMC) no IFF/FIOCRUZ, encaminhados ao setor de Fisioterapia Motora. Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo, institucional, noqual foram analisados prontuários de pacientes portadores de (MMC), entre janeiro de 2007 e junho de 2008. Resultados e Discussão: Houve predomínio do sexo masculino. Em 14 criancas detectou-se a presença de hidrocefalia. Quatro crianças apresentaram outras malformaçõesdo sistema nervoso, como disgenesias do corpo caloso. A maioria dos pacientes apresentou alterações ortopédicas, sendo a mais freqüente o pétorto congênito. Os maiores problemas estão relacionados com a possibilidade de levantar, deambular e controlar voluntariamente os sistemasvesical e intestinal. Conclusão: O tratamento de crianças com mielomeningocele requer intervenção clínica e cirúrgica precoces, além detratamento reabilitativo.


Introduction: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is one of the forms of dysraphism that results from a defect in the closure of the posterior portion/section of the neural tube, during the fourth week of gestation. MMC affects the nervous, musculoskeletal and urogenital systems. Objectives: To map the epidemiological profile of the newborn with MMC in the IFF/FIOCRUZ, sent to the Physical Therapy service. Material and Methods: A transversal, descriptive and institutional study, in which the medical records of patients with MMC from January 2007 to June 2008 have been analyzed. Results and Discussion: There was predominance of the male sex. In 14 children the presence of hydrocephalus was detected. Four children presented other malformations of the nervous system, such as corpus callosum dysgenesis. The majority of the patients showed orthopedic changes, the most frequent of which were congenital foot deformities. The greatest problems were related to the possibility of standing, walking and voluntarily controlling the bladder and bowel systems. Conclusion: The treatment of children with MMC requires early clinical and surgical intervention, as well as rehabilitation treatment.
