RESUMO
A algoneurodistrofia é uma doença
rara e subdiagnosticada, cujo diagnóstico
é clínico e assenta nos sintomas típicos
de dor neuropática, pseudoparalisia, tumefacção
e sinais vasomotores e autonómicos
num membro na ausência de lesão
nervosa identificável. Em idade pediátrica
apresenta geralmente um prognóstico favorável,
sendo essencial o diagnóstico e
a intervenção terapêutica multidisciplinar
precoces para evitar sequelas ou evolução
para a cronicidade.
Os autores descrevem o caso de
uma adolescente de 11 anos com algoneurodistrofia com evolução clínica favorável
após diagnóstico e tratamento precoces.
Pretendem com este caso alertar
para a importância da sua identificação
precoce, fazendo uma breve revisão desta
entidade nosológica.
ABSTRACT Algoneurodystrophy is a rare and underdiagnosed disease, with clinical diagnosis based on typical signs of neuropathic pain, pseudoparalysis, swelling and vasomotor and autonomic signs localized in an extremity without an identifiable nervous lesion. Prognosis is usually favorable in children. An early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are essential to avoid sequels or evolution to chronicity. The authors describe the clinical case of an eleven-year-old adolescent with algoneurodystrophy with good clinical outcome after early diagnosis and treatment. They present a short review of this entity emphasizing the importance of an early diagnosis.
