ABSTRACT

La Celulitis Facial Odontógena es relativamente frecuente, puede convertirse en un grave riesgo vital cuando el tratamiento no es adecuado. Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal desde enero 2006 a diciembre 2008. La muestra incluyó 49 pacientes que acudieron o fueron remitidos a los servicios de urgencias con el diagnóstico de CFO. Los niños y jóvenes resultaron los más afectados, así como el sexo masculino. Los dientes incurables y los restos radiculares constituyeron las causas más frecuentes, la región anatómica prevaleciente fue la cavidad bucal. El 51 por ciento de los casos tuvieron diagnóstico de celulitis leves, siendo necesario el ingreso hospitalario para 25 pacientes, los demás tuvieron tratamiento ambulatorio. Se recomienda diseñar una estrategia de intervención para disminuir la incidencia de CFO en el territorio de Matanzas.


The Odontogenic Facial Cellulites is relatively frequent; when the treatment is not right, it can become a serious risk for life. We carried up an observational, analytic, transversal study from January 2006 to December 2008. The sample included 49 patients assisting or remitted to the Urgent Care Services with a diagnosis of Odontogenic Facial Cellulites. The most affected were children and young people, and the female sex. The most frequent causes were teeth that can not be healed and roots remaining; the prevailing anatomic region was the oral cavity. 51 percent of the cases were diagnosed as mild cellulites, being necessary the hospital staying for 25 patients; the rest received home treatment. It is recommended to design an intervention strategy to diminish the incidence of the Odontogenic Facial Cellulite in the territory of Matanzas.

ABSTRACT

A rinossinusite é uma doença potencialmente grave, e pode apresentar sérias complicações. As orbitárias são as mais freqüentes, graças às peculiaridades anatômicas desta região, podendo levar à morte em 5 por cento dos casos. Os sintomas variam desde sinais flogísticos periorbitários até proptose do globo ocular, oftalmoplegia e amaurose. OBJETIVOS: Proposição de uma nova classificação para as complicações orbitárias das rinossinusites agudas. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Revisão de TC e prontuários de 83 pacientes atendidos no Hospital das Clínicas da FMRP-USP, entre os anos de 1995 a 2005, com rinossinusites agudas complicadas. RESULTADOS: Após a revisão das TC e história clínica, foram identificadas em sessenta e seis pacientes, três tipos de complicações orbitárias: celulite orbitária (46,9 por cento), abscesso subperiosteal (40,9 por cento) e abscesso orbitário (12,1 por cento). Dezessete foram considerados como infecções palpebrais, ficando excluídos da nova classificação. CONCLUSÃO: As classificações das complicações orbitárias existentes na atualidade, como a de Chandler, não levam em conta os parâmetros anatômicos da órbita e tornaram-se obsoletas com o advento da TC. Este estudo propõe uma classificação mais concisa e objetiva que ajude a guiar a conduta terapêutica de forma mais linear.


Rhinosinusitis is a severe sickness and may have serious complications. Orbital complications happen more often, due to anatomical particularities and are lethal in 5 percent of patients. They vary from inflammatory signs to proptosis, loss of ocular motility and blindness. AIM: We propose a new classification of acute rhinosinusitis complications. METHODS: A review of 83 patients with CT scan and clinical reports. Patients were evaluated at HCFMRP-USP between 1995 and 2005 and were diagnosed with complicated rhinosinusitis. RESULTS: In sixty-six patients, were identified three types of orbital complications: orbital cellulitis (46. 9 percent), subperiosteal abscess (40. 9 percent) and orbital abscess (12.1 percent). Seventeen were considered as eyelid infections and excluded from this new classification system. CONCLUSIONS: The existing classifications of orbital complications, as Chandler’s, do not consider the orbit’s anatomical characteristics and became obsolete after the development of the CT scan. This study proposes a new, more objective classification to guide the physician in establishing lines of conduct for each case.
