Resumo: | Introduction: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a hereditaryprogressive neuromuscular disease more common in the first twodecades of life and clinical manifestations are usually seen in thesecond year of life. It is an X-linked disease that affects mostly boysattending with muscular hypotonia and early muscle weakness.Diagnosis is made by molecular biology and measurement ofCreatinoquinase and muscle biopsy and they should be done asearly as possible to allow the use of therapies that improve thequality of life.Objectives: To report a case of Duchenne muscular dystrophyand discuss clinical and diagnostic evaluation.Methods: Review of medical records and literature.Case report: Male patient, 11 year-old, born to non-consanguineousparents, with a negative family history for the disease. Since 18months he had frequent falls and walking at toes´ tips. With 5 yearsold it was observed difficulty to stand up and to use stairs. Due to theforward projection of the body he went to an Orthopedist and laterevaluations led to the suspicious of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.Physical examination showed hypertrophy of calves and GowersSign. Laboratory tests showed: Creatine kinase-total 6,334U/l(reference values= 26 to 189U/l); Lactate dehydrogenase of 2063U/l; Electroneuromyography showed a pattern consistent with muscleinjury.Conclusions: Despite being a known disease prognosis is lessinfluenced by the use of therapies, early diagnosis allows theimplementation of techniques and medications that improve the qualityof life. |

É uma doença ligada ao cromossomoX que afeta predominantemente meninos cursando com hipotoniamuscular e fraqueza muscular precoces. O diagnóstico é feito atravésda biologia molecular,dosagem de creatinofosfoquinase e biopsiamuscular e deve ser feito o mais precocemente possível para permitiro uso de terapias que melhorem a qualidade de vida do paciente.Objetivos: Relatar um caso de Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne ediscutir o quadro clínico e a abordagem diagnóstica.Métodos: Revisão de prontuário e de literatura.Relato de Caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 11 anos e um mês,filho de pais não consangüíneos,com história familiar negativa paraa doença, apresentou desde os 18 meses quedas freqüentes eandar na ponta dos pés.Aos 5 anos foi observada dificuldade em secolocar de pé e subir degraus. Devido à projeção do corpo parafrente procurou acompanhamento pela Ortopedia e mais tardeavaliações levaram à suspeita de Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne.Ao exame físico apresentava hipertrofia das panturrilhas e sinal deGowers. Exames laboratoriais demonstraram: Creatinoquinase-Totalde 6.334 U/l (Valores de Referência= 26 a 189 U/l); DesidrogenaseLática de 2063U/lL; Eletroneuromiografia com padrão compatívelcom lesão muscular.Conclusões: Apesar de ser uma doença de prognóstico conhecido,sem terapia específica, o diagnóstico precoce permite a instituiçãode medidas paliativas que melhoram e prolongam a vida.Palavras-chave: Distrofia muscular congênita, Distrofia muscularFaculdade de Medicina de Campos (FMC)2011-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.fmc.br/ojs/index.php/RCFMC/article/view/10010.29184/1980-7813.rcfmc.100.vol.6.n2.2011Scientific Journal of the Medical School of Campos; Vol. 6 No. 2 (2011); 11-15Revista Científica da Faculdade de Medicina de Campos; v. 6 n. 2 (2011); 11-151980-7813reponame:Revista Científica da Faculdade de Medicina de Camposinstname:Faculdade de Medicina de Campos (FMC)instacron:FMCporhttps://www.fmc.br/ojs/index.php/RCFMC/article/view/100/80Copyright (c) 2011 Revista Científica da Faculdade de Medicina de Camposinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoraes, Fernanda Mendonça Campos Fernandes, Regina Célia de Souza Medina-Acosta, Enrique 2017-08-04T22:26:55Zoai:ojs.www.fmc.br:article/100Revistahttps://www.fmc.br/ojs/index.php/RCFMC/PRIhttps://www.fmc.br/ojs/index.php/RCFMC/oai||revista@fmc.br1980-78131980-7813opendoar:2017-08-04T22:26:55Revista Científica da Faculdade de Medicina de Campos - Faculdade de Medicina de Campos (FMC)false |
