- Existe Associação entre Acufeno e Disfunção Temporomandibular?Publication . Oliveira, M; Barros, C; Caixeirinho, P; Chantre, T; Moreira, I; Proença, F; Sousa, HA coexistência frequente de acufeno e distúrbios da articulação temporomandibular e dos músculos da mastigação (DTM) levou à suposição de que existe uma relação entre as duas condições. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a prevalência de acufeno em doentes com DTM e os efeitos do tratamento desta sobre o acufeno. Foram incluídos 57 doentes seguidos em consulta de Estomatologia - DTM no ano 2021 e primeiro semestre de 2022. Foi questionada a presença de acufeno e aplicado o questionário Tinnitus Handicap Index (THI). 72% tiveram 1 ou mais episódios de acufeno. 89,5% eram do sexo feminino e verificaram-se 2 picos de incidência na faixa etária entre os 18-30 (21,1%) e os 41-50 anos (24,6%). Em 85,4% dos doentes o acufeno era intermitente e 41,5% grau reduzido. Foi encontrada associação entre a lateralidade do acufeno e da DTM (p<0.001). 67% melhorou o acufeno após terapêutica para DTM (p= 0.0135).
- Ovarian Ectopic Pregnancy in AdolescencePublication . Gonçalves Andrade, A; Rocha, S; Marques, C; Simões, M; Martins, I; Biscaia, I; Barros, COvarian pregnancy is one of the rarest types of extrauterine pregnancy. Its preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge since it presents quite similarly to tubal pregnancy and complicated ovarian cysts. Although in most cases, histology is necessary to confirm the diagnosis, we present an ovarian pregnancy in a teenager, correctly diagnosed during ultrasound examination.
- A Rare Abdomino-Pelvic Tumor: ParagangliomaPublication . Pedroso, C; Robalo, R; Sereno, P; Barros, C; Marques, CParagangliomas are rare tumors, with a reported incidence of 2–8 per million. They are chromaffin cell tumors that develop from the neural crest cells and may be divided in tumors derived from the parasympathetic or sympathetic ganglia. We report a case a of a 32-year-old nulliparous woman, referred to our Infertility Clinic. Abdomino-pelvic ultrasound identified a large abdominopelvic tumor, without ovarian origin (both ovaries were identified and had normal morphology). Magnetic Resonance Imaging suggested a right adnexal multicystic, vascularized mass close to iliac vessels and questioning an ovarian origin. At exploratory laparotomy, a 10 cm encapsulated and vascularized mass was found beginning just below right renal artery and extending to the level of the broad ligament. This mass was totally excised and histopathology was consistent with Paraganglioma.
- Synchronous Endometrioid Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer in a 34-Year-Old WomanPublication . Amaral, P; Silva, A; Lacerda, A; Barros, COvarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecological malignancy in developed countries. Synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian cancer in patients appears with different clinical characteristics compared to patients with isolated endometrial cancer. A 34-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain of 1 year duration presented at the emergency department. On gynaecological examination, she had a left and midline pelvic mass. A transvaginal ultrasound showed it to be a complex hypervascularised mass, with cystic and solid components on left adnexal region. Ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease were excluded. Serum levels of tumour marker CA125 and ROMA were increased. The MR showed a complex mass, suggestive of primary fallopian tube or ovarian tumour. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection and subcolonic omentectomy. Histopathology revealed a synchronous endometrioid endometrial and ovarian cancer.
