RESUMOA tríade clássica da Síndrome de McCune Albright (SMA) -displasia fibrosa poliostótica (DFP), máculas cutâneas "café au lait" e hiperfunção autônoma de uma ou mais glândulas endócrinas -envolve mutações ativadoras do gene GNAS1, codificador da proteína Ga s e conseqüente aumento da produção do sinalizador intracelular AMPc em diferentes tecidos. Embora a pseudo-puberdade precoce (PPP) seja a manifestação clínica mais freqüente, são as alterações ósseas que conferem a maior morbidade à síndrome. Apresentamos o seguimento clínico endocrinológico e a evolução da doença óssea em 4 pacientes portadores da SMA, das quais 3 delas estão sendo tratadas com bisfosfonato (Pamidronato, 2mg/kg). Três das 4 pacientes apresentaram pseudo-puberdade precoce e duas delas desenvolveram hipertiroidismo. A variação do nível de fosfatase alcalina (FA) foi o indicador bioquímico da doença óssea, cujas complicações foram dor e fratura além de obstrução do canal lacrimal em uma e amaurose unilateral em outra como conseqüência das deformidades crânio-faciais. A infusão de pamidronato endovenoso produziu melhora das dores ósseas e reduziu (37% -54%) os níveis de FA em todas as pacientes. Entretanto, a melhora da qualidade do osso com o uso do bisfosfonato ainda é incerta e para a qual necessitamos de estudos randomizados e com longo prazo de observação. ABSTRACTMcCune Albright syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots and some endocrine hyperfunction, mostly precocious puberty. It is caused by activating mutations of the GNAS1 gene that codifies for the Ga s protein, leading to overproduction of cAMP messenger at different tissues. Although pseudo-precocious puberty is the most frequent disfunction, the skeletal lesions are responsible for the highest morbidities such as bone pain, fractures and deformations. Clinical follow up focusing the bone disease is reported in four patients, three of them been treated with intravenous bisphosphonate (Pamidronate, 2mg/kg). Precocious puberty occurred in three and hyperthyroidism developed in two of the patients. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels were used as biochemical markers of the osteolytic lesions, clinically presented by local pain, fracture and bone deformities. In addition, lachrymal obstruction in one patient and unilateral blindness in another appear to be due to deformed skull and facial bones. Intravenous infusion of Pamidronate has been improving bone pain and decreased (37% -54%) basal AP levels. However, a long-term randomized follow-up study determining improvement in bone quality still needs to be completed.
