Agenésia da Vagina

Nos últimos dez anos foram tratados dez doentes com o diagnóstico de agenésia da vagina. A reconstrução foi realizada com recurso à técnica de McIndoe. Faz-se a análise retrospectiva dos doentes tratados, com referência ao diagnóstico (S. Mayer-Rokitansky-7, S. Androgenital-1, S. Testículo feminizante-2), sua classificação, tratamento, complicações e resultados. Na opinião dos autores a técnica de McIndoe é a mais indicada para o tratamento destas malformações, pela sua simplicidade, baixa morbilidade e ausência de mortalidade.

The Role of Sensory Modulation Deficits and Behavioral Symptoms in a Diagnosis for Early Childhood

To contribute to the validation of the sensory and behavioral criteria for Regulation Disorders of Sensory Processing (RDSP) (DC:0-3R, 2005), this study examined a sample of toddlers in a clinical setting to analyze: (1) the severity of sensory modulation deficits and the behavioral symptoms of RDSP; (2) the associations between sensory and behavioral symptoms; and (3) the specific role of sensory modulation deficits in an RDSP diagnosis. Based on clinical observations, 78 toddlers were classified into two groups: toddlers with RDSP (N = 18) and those with‘‘other diagnoses in Axis I/II of the DC:0-3R’’ (OD3R; N = 60). The parents completed the Infant Toddler Sensory Profile and the Achenbach Checklist. The results revealed that the RDSP group had more severe sensory modulation deficits and specific behavioral symptoms; stronger, although not significant, associations between most sensory and behavioral symptoms; and a significant sensory modulation deficit effect. These findings support the validity of RDSP.
