چکیده
|
A 3-year-old boy referred for persistent tongue bleeding was diagnosed with a rare self-mutilating disease that had also affected his lip and fingers. he underwent multiple odontectomy and partial glossectomy and continues to undergo behavior therapy and on-demand splints and restraints. he has stopped self-biting and has gained appetite and weight. lesch-nyhan syndrome can cause significant morbidity including selfinflicted oral hemorrhage and emergent measures are not easily decided. the long-term management of its neurobehavioral symptoms is problematic and multidisciplinary,and health providers remain challenged to find the best treatment,prolong lifespan and improve quality of life within their respective contexts. © 2016,professional medical publications. all rights reserved.
