dc.description | RESUMEN: Antecedentes: se han descrito diversas alteraciones endocrinas y de la salud sexual en adultos y en mujeres púberes con epilepsia. En varones púberes hay pocos estudios al respecto, ninguno de ellos en Colombia. Objetivos: establecer la frecuencia de alteraciones del desarrollo físico y sexual de varones prepúberes y púberes con epilepsia y explorar su asociación con el uso de fármacos antiepilépticos y con las características clínicas, electroencefalográficas e imaginológicas de la enfermedad. Métodos: se evaluaron 29 varones epilépticos entre 8 y 18 años, que no estaban recibiendo esteroides, ni tenían retardo mental moderado o grave, parálisis cerebral o trastornos endocrinos. Se obtuvieron los datos en una entrevista estructurada a los padres, en los registros médicos y evaluando la maduración física y sexual (antropometría, Tanner, longitud del pene y volumen testicular). Resultados: el 6,9% de los pacientes presentaban alteración del desarrollo sexual y el 31%, alteración del desarrollo físico: sobrepeso 20,7%, obesidad 6,9% y talla baja 13,8%. Los pacientes tratados con ácido valproico tenían tasas más altas de sobrepeso (50% frente a 5,3%, p = 0,01) y menor volumen testicular (3,25 frente a 5,5 mL, p = 0,08) que quienes no tomaban este medicamento. Los pacientes con talla baja habían tenido una duración mayor de la epilepsia comparados con los de talla normal (9,75 frente a 4,0 años, p = 0,02). Conclusión: los varones prepúberes y púberes con epilepsia presentan tasas altas de sobrepeso y obesidad asociadas con la administración de ácido valproico, y de talla baja asociada con una mayor duración de la enfermedad; estos trastornos se deben controlar durante el tratamiento. | |
dc.description | ABSTRACT: Background: Diverse endocrine and sexual alterations have been described in adults and pubertal women with epilepsy. There are few studies of these disorders in pubertal males, none of them in Colombia. Objectives: To establish the frequency of alterations of physical and sexual development in prepubertal and pubertal males with epilepsy and to explore its association with the use of antiepileptic drugs and with the clinical, electroencephalographic and imaginological features of the disease. Methods: Twenty-nine epileptic males between 8 and 18 years of age were evaluated. They were not receiving steroids, and none of them had either moderate or severe mental retardation, cerebral palsy or endocrine dysfunctions. Data were obtained from a structured interview with their parents, from the medical registrations and by evaluating the physical and sexual maturation (anthropometric measures, Tanner, penile length and testicular volume). Results: There were alterations of the sexual development in 6.9% or the patients, and of the physical development in 31%, namely: overweight in 20.7%, obesity in 6.9% and short stature in 13.8%. Those taking valproate had higher rates of overweight (50% vs 5.3%, p = 0.01), and lower testicular volume (3.25 vs 5.5 mL, p = 0.08) in comparison with the ones that did not use it. Patients with short stature had had longer duration of the epilepsy as compared to those with normal stature (9.75 vs 4.0 years, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Prepubertal and pubertal males with epilepsy presented high rates of verweight and obesity associated with the use of valproate, and of short stature associated with longer duration of their illness; such alterations should be controlled during treatment. | |
