RESUMO

Objetivo:

estudo prospectivo para avaliar atuação do hormônio de crescimento (GH) sobre o crescimento craniofacial de pacientes com deficiência de GH ou síndrome de Turner e o possível desenvolvimento de traços acromegálicos. Avaliamos 30 pacientes agrupados de acordo com diagnóstico e uso de GH. Realizamos medidas antropométricas (altura, pés e mãos) e avaliação ortodôntica (clínica, facial, radiográfica e cefalométrica) por no mínimo 3 anos. Observamos atuação significante do GH na base posterior do crânio e mandíbula. Todos os pacientes mantiveram o mesmo padrão de crescimento facial. Ocorreu melhora da harmonia facial em 28 por cento dos pacientes retrognatas; nenhum paciente desenvolveu desproporções ou desarmonia facial, no entanto, observamos aumento das extremidades, principalmente dos pés.
ABSTRACT
Our objective was to carry out a prospective study to evaluate the action of growth hormone (GH) on the craniofacial growth of patients with GH deficiency or Turner syndrome and the possible development of acromegalic features. We evaluated 30 patients classified in 3 groups based on diagnose and GH use. We realized anthropometrical (height, hands and feet) measurements and orthodontics analyses (clinical, facial, radiographic and cephalometric). We observed a greater GH effect on the posterior skull base and lower jaw; all patients kept their craniofacial growth pattern during the follow-up; there was an improvement in the facial harmony in 28 per cent of the retrognathic patients, no patient developed facial disharmony, however we observed an increase of the extremities, mainly of the feet.
