Síndrome de Plummer-Vinson / Plummer-Vinson syndrome

Introducción: El síndrome de Plummer-Vinson es una entidad rara caracterizada por la tríada anemia ferropénica, disfagia y membrana esofágica. Descrito en la segunda década del siglo pasado, en la actualidad la mayoría de los datos que se obtienen provienen de presentaciones de casos o pequeñas series de estudios prospectivos. Objetivo: Hacer la revisión de la bibliografía disponible a propósito de un caso portador de síndrome de Plummer-Vinson. Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 35 años de edad con anemia desde la adolescencia remitida por presentar disfagia de 8 años de evolución. Se realizaron complementarios de laboratorio donde se constata anemia ferropénica y estudio contrastado del tracto digestivo superior que reveló imagen sugestiva de membrana en esófago cervical. Conclusiones: A pesar de su baja frecuencia en la actualidad debemos mantenernos alertas ante la aparición de síntomas sugestivos del síndrome de Plummer-Vinson fundamentalmente en mujeres con cuadros de anemia(AU)

Introduction: Plummer-Vinson syndrome is a rare entity characterized by the triad of iron deficiency anemia, dysphagia and esophageal membrane. Described in the second decade of the last century, today most of the data obtained comes from case presentations or small series of prospective studies. Objective: To review the available bibliography regarding a case with Plummer-Vinson syndrome. Clinical case: 35-year-old female patient with anemia since adolescence, referred to surgery clinic for presenting dysphagia of 8 years of evolution. Additional laboratory tests were carried out where iron deficiency anemia was found. A contrasted study of the upper digestive tract revealed a suggestive image of a membrane in the cervical esophagus. Conclusions: Despite its low frequency we must be alert to the appearance of symptoms suggestive of Plummer-Vinson syndrome, mainly in women with anemia. Its association with esophageal cancer indicates this(AU)

Anemia ferropénica crónica: síndrome de Plummer-Vinson (Paterson-Brown-Kelly) / Chronic Iron Deficiency Anemia: Plummer- Vinson (Paterson-Brown-Kelly) Syndrome. A Case Report

Resumen El síndrome de Plummer-Vinson (Paterson-Brown-Kelly) es una entidad rara, caracterizada por disfagia, formación de membranas esofágicas y anemia por deficiencia de hierro. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 46 años con antecedentes clínicos de anemia ferropénica de larga evolución, que posteriormente presentó disfagia y odinofagia. Se encontró una membrana subcricoidea que fue rota exitosamente con el endoscopio. Los médicos de primer contacto deben estar familiarizados de los síntomas del síndrome de Plummer- Vinson, y tenerlos en cuenta a la hora de abordar un paciente con la tríada clásica. Como el síndrome es una condición pre- cancerosa con alto potencial maligno, el diagnóstico precoz y tratamiento oportuno es de suma importancia.

Abstract Plummer-Vinson syndrome (Paterson-Brown-Kelly) is a rare entity, characterized by dysphagia, esophageal web formation, and iron deficiency anemia. We present the case of a 46-year-old woman with a clinical history of iron deficiency anemia who subsequently presents dysphagia and odynophagia. A subcricoid web that was successfully broken with the endoscope was found. First contact doctors should be familiar with the symptoms of Plummer-Vinson syndrome, and take them into account, when addressing a patient with the classic triad. Since the syndrome is a precancerous condition with high malignant potential, early diagnosis and treatment is of utmost importance for better prognosis.

Plummer-vinson syndrome associated with lower esophageal ring (Schatzki's Ring)

We report a case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) and lower esophageal ring with a small sliding hiatal hernia. PVS is a rare entity formed by the combination of dysphagia, cervical esophageal web and iron deficiency anemia. It occurs mainly in middle-aged women1,2,3. A lower esophageal ring and a small sliding hiatal hernia were also observed in this case. We documented clinical manifestations of iron deficiency anemia through images and esophageal abnormalities through barium esophagogram. (AU)

Reabilitação oral de paciente com síndrome da combinação: relato de caso / Patient oral rehabilitation with combination syndrome: case report

Objetivo: o tratamento de pacientes desdentados com reabsorção alveolar severa é uma temática desafiadora na reabilitação protética. Identificada por Kelly em 1972, a síndrome da combinação é uma manifestação intraoral encontrada em pacientes totalmente desdentados na arcada superior, em oposição a uma prótese mandibular de extensão distal bilateral. Relato de caso: este estudo revisa e discute, por meio de um caso clínico, as características clínicas presentes em um paciente com manifestações da síndrome da combinação. Além disso, apresenta uma proposta de tratamento reabilita¬dor, restabelecendo a função fonética e a estética do paciente. Considerações finais: diagnosticar a síndrome e estabelecer um plano de tratamento adequado às necessidades do paciente, criando condições clínicas para o restabelecimento da saúde, são imprescindíveis para obter resultado e, assim, impedir o avanço do quadro clínico.

Objective: treatment of patients with reactivity with respiratory problems. Identified by Kelly in 1972, a combination syndrome and an intraoral manifestation found in fully edentulous patients in the upper arch as opposed to a mandibular prosthesis of bilateral distal extension. Case report: the present study reviews and discusses, through a clinical case, as clinical features present in a patient with manifestations of the combination syndrome, in addition, to present a proposal of rehabilitative treatment, restoring function, phonetics and esthetics to the patient. Final considerations: diagnosing a syndrome and establishing a treatment plan appropriate to the needs of the patient and creating clinical conditions for the reestablishment of health are essential to obtain the result and thus impeding the advancement of the clinical picture.
