RESUMO

El tumor maligno de amígdalas es poco frecuente en niños. La asimetría amigdalina es, generalmente, secundaria a un proceso benigno, ya sea patología inflamatoria, diferencia en la profundidad de la fosa tonsilar o asimetría del pilar anterior. Sin embargo, puede indicar un trastorno subyacente grave, como el linfoma. El linfoma es el tumor maligno infantil más común en la cabeza y el cuello. En el 15% de los casos, afecta al anillo de Waldeyer. Las manifestaciones clínicas más comunes del linfoma de la amígdala palatina son la hipertrofia amigdalina unilateral, la alteración en la apariencia de la mucosa y la adenopatía cervical ipsilateral. El diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento adecuado son de gran importancia en el pronóstico. Presentamos un caso de linfoma amigdalino en un niño con asimetría amigdalina y destacamos la importancia del examen de la cavidad oral y del cuello para identificar alteraciones sospechosas de linfoma tonsilar.


Tonsil malignancy is uncommon in children. Tonsillar asymmetry is usually secondary to a benign process, either inflammatory conditions, differences in the tonsillar fossa depth or anterior pillar asymmetry. However, it may indicate a serious underlying disorder such as lymphoma. Lymphoma is the most common childhood malignancy in the head and neck. Approximately, 15% of the cases affect the Waldeyer's ring. The most common clinical manifestations of palatine tonsils lymphoma are unilateral tonsillar hypertrophy, alteration in the appearance of the mucosa and ipsilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of great importance in the prognosis. We present a case of palatine tonsil lymphoma in a child with tonsillar asymmetry and we emphasize the importance of the examination of the oral cavity and the neck to identify suspicious alterations compatible with tonsillar lymphoma.

RESUMO

Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the subglottic airway. The main causes in children are infections of the lower respiratory tract and aspiration of foreign bodies. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation is a rare etiology of hemoptysis, which involves abnormal communication between the arterial and venous system. Most vascular malformations are present at birth and enlarge proportionately with the growth of the child. Signs and symptoms include dyspnea, exercise intolerance, cyanosis and hemorrhagic or neurologic complications. We describe the clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and treatment of a child with this disease. We emphasize the importance of efficient systematic evaluation in every child with hemoptysis to identify the underlying etiology, since immediate treatment is essential because of the potential severity of this condition.

RESUMO

La hemoptisis es la expectoración de sangre proveniente de la vía aérea subglótica. Las causas principales en la infancia son las infecciones de la vía respiratoria inferior y la aspiración de cuerpos extraños. Una etiología rara de hemoptisis es la malformación arteriovenosa pulmonar, que consiste en la comunicación anormal entre el sistema arterial y venoso. La mayoría de las malformaciones vasculares están presentes desde el nacimiento y aumentan de tamaño proporcionalmente al crecimiento del niño. Los signos y síntomas de presentación incluyen la disnea, la intolerancia al ejercicio, la cianosis y las complicaciones hemorrágicas o neurológicas. Describimos las manifestaciones clínicas, los métodos diagnósticos y el tratamiento de un niño con esta patología. Destacamos la importancia de la evaluación sistemática eficiente en todo niño con hemoptisis para identificar la etiología subyacente; el tratamiento inmediato es fundamental debido a la gravedad potencial de esta condición.

RESUMO

La faringoamigdalitis aguda es una de las enfermedades más comunes en niños y adolescentes. La etiología más frecuente es la viral, seguida por la bacteriana. Entre las causas bacterianas, el principal agente es el estreptococo beta hemolítico del grupo A. Una complicación infrecuente de los procesos infecciosos faríngeos es la tromboflebitis séptica de la vena yugular interna. El diagnóstico se sospecha ante la tumefacción laterocervical unilateral de carácter inflamatorio. Se confirma mediante tomografía computada con contraste. El tratamiento consiste en la administración prolongada de antibióticos; el uso de anticoagulantes es controvertido. El diagnóstico precoz y el tratamiento apropiado son esenciales para evitar la oclusión vascular persistente y la progresión del trombo, que puede ocasionar émbolos pulmonares. Presentamos a una adolescente con tromboflebitis de la vena yugular interna secundaria a faringoamigdalitis aguda estreptocócica, con el objetivo de describir las manifestaciones clínicas, los métodos diagnósticos y el tratamiento de esta rara complicación vascular.


Acute pharyngotonsillitis is one of the most common diseases in children and adolescents. The most frequent etiology is virus, followed by bacteria. The main bacterial agent is beta hemolytic Streptococcus group A. A rare complication of pharyngeal infectious processes is septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. The diagnosis is suspected in the presence of an inflammatory unilateral neck swelling. The diagnosis is confirmed by contrast computed tomography. Treatment consists of prolonged administration of antibiotics, being the use of anticoagulants controversial. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent persistent vascular occlusion and progression of the thrombus, which can cause pulmonary emboli. In the present study, we present a teenager with thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein secondary to acute streptococcal pharyngotonsillitis. Clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and treatment of this rare vascular complication are described herein.

RESUMO

La anquiloglosia es una anomalía congénita que se caracteriza por un frenillo lingual anormalmente corto, que resulta en grados variables de dificultad de la movilidad lingual. Puede ser asintomática o manifestarse con dificultades en la lactancia, trastornos en el habla y en la dentición, y problemas sociales relacionados con la limitación funcional de la lengua. Si bien es una patología frecuente y conocida, persisten controversias y diversidad de opiniones relacionadas con la indicación, el momento y el método de la corrección quirúrgica. Describimos nuestra experiencia con 35 niños que presentaban esta afección, tratados quirúrgicamente de forma exitosa.


Ankyloglossia is a congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenulum resulting in varying degrees of difficulty of tongue mobility. It may be asymptomatic or it may present with breastfeeding difficulties, speech and dentition disorders, and social problems related to the functional limitation of the tongue. While it is a common and known pathology, controversies and diversity of opinions persist regarding the indication, timing and method of surgical correction. We describe our experience with 35 children presenting this condition; they underwent successful surgical treatment.

RESUMO

La extracción endoscópicas de cuerpos extraños del esófago en poblacíon pediátrica y la posterior evolución de estos pacientes, puede presentar en algunas ocasiones una situación de difícil manejo y serias complicaciones. Un evento que merece particular atención es la ingestión de baterías disco o "pila botón" por las severas lesiones que producen estos elementos cuando quedan alojados en el esófago. Se presentan dos casos de severa lesión esofágica producida por ingestíon y retención de baterías disco en tercio superior del esófago. Se consideran las distintas alternativas clínicas y quirúrgicas que estos casos pueden desencadenar y se discuten las posibilidades de tratamiento.
