Hemifacial microsomia: a literature review / Microsomía hemifacial: revisión de la literatura

ABSTRACT Hemifacial microsomia is the second congenital malformation in prevalence, after cleft lip and palate, and is described as a congenital alteration of the first and second branchial arches. As a condition of wide spectrum, its characteristics are expressed in many different ways and therefore treatments are usually individualized. This topic review discusses its etiology, classification, characteristics, and treatment with mandibular surgery.

RESUMEN La microsomía hemifacial corresponde a la segunda malformación congénita en prevalencia, luego de la fisura labiopalatina, y se describe como una alteración congénita del primer y el segundo arcos branquiales. Al ser una entidad en espectro, presenta características de expresión variable y por tanto los tratamientos son acordes a su individualidad. En esta revisión de tema se analizan su etiología, clasificaciones, características y tratamiento quirúrgico mandibular.

Malformación linfática facial mixta: Caso clínico / Mixed facial lymphatic malformation: Case report

Lymphangiomas are a common form of vascular malformation of the lymphatic vessels, mainly in the head and neck region. Most cases are progressive evolution and require a multidisciplinary approach. Currently, the first therapeutic option is sclerotherapy, leaving surgery for the treatment of remaining lesions. Objective: To present a case of facial lymphatic malformation (LM) treated with sclerotherapy, surgery and orthodontics in a 15-year follow up. Case report: A one-year-old female patient who consulted health professionals due to a progressive volume increase of the soft parts of her right cheek. The imaging study confirmed the diagnosis of microcystic lymphatic malformation. It was managed with OK-432 sclerotherapy and Bleomycin. At 2 years of age, the patient response was considered adequate; an intralesional submandibular surgical excision was then performed, with partial resection of the lesion. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of microcystic LM. Six months after, a re-resection was planned using the same approach and removing the remaining lesion, with favorable development until the age of 9 years when the patient required surgery and orthodontic management due to intraoral recurrence. No major developments until the age of 13 when a new orthodontic surgery and handling are planned to perform right oral commissure suspension. Conclusion: LM management by sclerotherapy, surgery, and orthodontics has shown the advantages of a multidisciplinary long-term treatment in this case.

El linfangioma corresponde a una malformación vascular de los vasos linfáticos, preferentemente de la región de cabeza y cuello. La mayoría de los casos son de evolución progresiva y requieren un manejo multidisciplinario. Actualmente la primera opción terapéutica es la esclerosis, reservando la cirugía para el tratamiento de las lesiones remanentes. Objetivo: Presentar un caso de malformación linfática (ML) facial, tratado con escleroterapia, cirugía y ortodoncia en un seguimiento a 15 años. Caso clínico: Paciente de sexo femenino que consulta al año de edad por aumento de volumen progresivo de partes blandas en su mejilla derecha. El estudio de imágenes confirmó el diagnóstico de Malformación Linfática microquística. Se manejó con esclerosis seriada con OK-432 y Bleomicina. A los 2 años de edad se consideró que la respuesta era adecuada, y se procedió a realizar extirpación quirúrgica intralesional submandibular, con resección parcial de la lesión. La biopsia confirmó el diagnóstico de ML microquística. Seis meses después se planificó nueva resección utilizando el mismo abordaje y extirpando lesión remanente, con evolución favorable hasta la edad de 9 años en que requiere cirugía y manejo por ortodoncia, por recidiva de lesión a nivel intraoral. Evolución favorable hasta que a la edad de 13 años se planifica nueva cirugía y manejo por ortodoncia para suspender la comisura bucal derecha. Conclusión: El manejo de la ML mediante escleroterapia, cirugía, y ortodoncia muestra en este caso las ventajas de un tratamiento multidisciplinarion a largo plazo.

Síndrome de Waardenburg (S.W.) (distopía cantorum) (displasia interoculo irido dermato auditiva) / Waardernburg syndrome: report of case

The Waardenburg syndrome is a rare genetical disease characterized by skeletal and facial alterations. In this report we present a case of 15 years old girl bearing this syndrome, who was subjected to orthodontic, phonoaudiologic and kinesiologic studies in order to give her a consistent oral rehabilitation and preventive treatment
