- Sturge-Weber syndrome: comparison of surgical and non-surgical methods in the control of oral bleeding – a systematic reviewPublication . Oliveira, Ana Afonso Gonçalves; Oliveira, Filipa Pinto de; Palmeira, CarlosSturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a congenital non-heritable condition characterized by leptomeningeal angiomatous malformation of the facial skin following the trigemial nerve. This syndrome has been categorizes into three categories. Oral manifestations are generally macroglosia and hemihypertrophy of the buccal mucosa, palate, and floor of the mouth due to intraoral angiomatosis which causes malocclusion, pyogenic granuloma and increased oral bleeding. This Systematic review aimed to compare surgical and non-surgical methods in controlling bleeding in SWS. The research question was formulated via PICO strategy: P (Population): Patients with SWS; I (Intervention): Oral bleeding control methods; C (Comparison): Surgical and non-surgical methods; O (Outcome): Reduction in the level of oral bleeding. “What is the most effective method for controlling oral blending in patients with SWS?”. The Search was carried out in the electronic databases: PubMed, Scielo, ScienceDirect, B-On and Ovid with the purpose of finding articles related to Sturge Weber Syndrome, focusing on the risks of bleeding and the consequences of these and ways to prevent them. For a good selection of articles, tools such as the PRISMA flow diagram and the Joanna Briggs Institute questionnaires were used. Five articles were included, who reported different SWS cases and methods for bleeding control. For the main objective of this Systematic review we can see that non-surgical methods are better to control the possibility of oral bleeding. When is possible, the non-surgical treatment is the first choice because the risk of oral bleeding is less than surgical method. However there is no standardised treatment for this patients, so management of oral conditions of each patient must always be individualised.
