Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) or Morsier syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of infantile neurodevelopment with systemic anatomical and functional involvement. It is characterized by optic nerve hypoplasia, midline brain malformation, and hypothalamic-pituitary axis hypoplasia. The spectrum of clinical manifestations is very wide, from ophthalmological problems to endocrinological disorders that determine the severity and prognosis of these patients. The diagnosis is fundamentally clinical, based on an anamnesis and systematic clinical examination, supported by complementary tests for the study of hormonal deficits and imaging tests that objectify structural malformations. SOD has no cure; however, close follow-up focused on improving comorbidities through hormone replacement, neuropsychological support, and visual correction is necessary to improve the patient’s quality of life. Its low incidence and the breadth of forms of presentation require the knowledge and multidisciplinary approach of specialists in Pediatrics, Neurology, Endocrinology and Ophthalmology, among others. We present a descriptive case of this disease and its management.

ResumenEste artigo resulta de uma investigação em sociologia que pretende descrever as estratégias de cooperação interorganizacional entre trabalhadores de uma rede agências bancárias na região Alentejo. A partir da análise de redes sociais pretendese descodificar os tipos de relações entre os atores (agências bancárias e seus trabalhadores), identificar o posicionamento dos atores na rede e o tipo de recursos partilhados. Trata-se de um estudo inovador no sentido em que não há uma tradição da sociologia portuguesa no estudo das formas de interação entre agências bancárias, recorrendo à análise de redes sociais. Os principais resultados apontam para mecanismos de cooperação pouco significativos e mecanismos de interação formais muito acentuados.Palabras Clave: Redes interorganizacionais -agências bancárias -cooperação -atores. AbstractThis article results from an investigation in sociology that aims to describe the strategies of inter-organizational cooperation between employees of a bank branch network in the Alentejo region. From the analisys of the social networks, we pretend to uncode the types of relationship between actors (bank agencys and their employees), identify their positioning in the network and the type of shared resources. This is a groundbreaking study in the sense that there is a tradition of the Portuguese sociology in the study of the forms of interaction between banks, using social network analysis. The main types of results indicate little significant cooperation mechanisms and formal mechanisms greatly enhanced interaction.
