Treacher Collins Syndrome--or mandibulofacial dysostosis--is a rare condition that presents several craniofacial deformities of different levels. This is a congenital malformation involving the first and second branchial arches. Incidence is estimated to range between 1-40,000 to 1-70,000 of live births. The disorder is characterized by abnormalities of the auricular pinna, hypoplasia of facial bones, antimongoloid slanting palpebral fissures with coloboma of the lower eyelids and cleft palate. Treacher Collins Syndrome is rarely associated with choanal atresia. A multidisciplinary team, including craniofacial surgeon, ophthalmologist, speech therapist, dental surgeon and otorhinolaryngologist, is the most appropriate setting to manage these patients. This study reports a rare case of Treacher Collins Syndrome with choanal atresia, presenting literature review and multidisciplinary intervention.
Displasia fibrosa é uma doença caracterizada por progressiva substituição dos elementos normais do osso por tecido fibroso. É uma patologia benigna incomum de etiologia desconhecida. Existem duas categorias primárias da doença: displasia fibrosa monostótica que envolve somente um osso e displasia fibrosa poliostótica acometendo múltiplos ossos. Embora o esqueleto crânio-facial seja sede freqüente da doença, o osso temporal raramente está envolvido. O envolvimento do osso temporal tem como sintoma mais comum a surdez. O diagnóstico é baseado em imagens radiológicas. Quando a displasia fibrosa é acompanhada por sintomas clínicos significantes, o tratamento cirúrgico é recomendado. O acompanhamento clínico do paciente é fundamental para o diagnóstico precoce de recidivas. Neste artigo relatamos um caso de displasia fibrosa do osso temporal e revisão da patologia na literatura.
