RESUMO
This paper deals with children's gender identity disorders on a bibliographical basis. Their etiopathogeny, their scarce but dramatical evolution towards transsexualism and their treatment are described. The record of a personal case illustrates these topics. A consistent basis, made of the various clinical patterns found by different authors is built and enriched, contributing to an earlier assessment of gender identity disorders.

Stomatologists well know that phenotype can reproduce a lot of abnormal genotype aspects, in facial growth. These vitiations are bound to abnormal behaviours during such functions as: deglutition, breathing, oral expression. It is important to know if "wrong para-functions" adopted in such praxies are psychologically significant. Very often, the psychiatrist only, will be able to confirm or oppose contra-indication about the surgical treatment of facial abnormalities in such special cases, known or unknown.
