          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de Sandifer fue descrito en 1964 por el neurólogo Paul Sandifer cuando detectó un trastorno del tracto gastrointestinal superior, que generaba enfermedad de reflujo gastroesofágico, especialmente en bebés y recién nacidos. Suele presentarse con esofagitis, anemia ferropénica y movimientos posturales paroxísticos relacionados con la ingesta, que remiten durante el sueño. Puede provocar en el niño un retraso psicomotor y, por lo tanto, la detección y la identificación precoz de los signos son fundamentales. Con respeto al tratamiento no farmacológico, la estimulación precoz resulta imprescindible en el proceso de aprendizaje y la consolidación de hitos psicomotrices. El tratamiento consiste en estimular al niño mediante el juego activo para la progresión psicomotora y trabajar las alteraciones perceptivas y sensoriales evitando el dolor. Caso clínico: Lactante de ocho meses con retraso psicomotor derivado a Atención Temprana desde el ámbito hospitalario. Presenta hiperextensión de cuello, hipotonía cervicoaxial, rechazo del decúbito prono, opistótonos en decúbito supino y regurgitaciones esporádicas. A nivel motriz no tiene ninguna vía de desplazamiento y tampoco mantiene la sedestación; en cuanto a la manipulación, aún no choca juguetes. A nivel comunicativo, el contacto es bueno, pero no señala objetos ni emite bisílabos. Comentarios: Después de catorce meses de Atención Temprana (Fisioterapia), el niño sube y baja escaleras cogido de la barandilla con una mano y puede levantarse del suelo casi solo. Además, puede realizar encajes complejos, con dominancia de la mano derecha. A nivel cognitivo-comunicativo comprende los conceptos de permanencia y de acción-reacción, repite muchas palabras y emite de forma espontánea más de diez palabras. La colaboración familiar aplicando las pautas recomendadas ha sido una pieza clave en el tratamiento. Así, las pautas aplicadas en diversos entornos facilitaron la consecución de hitos motrices y el afianzamiento de etapas.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: The Sandifer's Syndrome was described in 1964 by the neurologist Paul Sandifer when detected a disorder of the upper gastrointestinal tract that generated gastroesophageal reflux disease, especially in new-borns and children. It tends to present with esophagitis, iron deficiency anemia and paroxysmal postural movements. These symptoms are related with the ingestion and they use to remit during the sleep. This syndrome generates to the child a psychomotor delay and, therefore, the Early Care is essential to detect and to identify all the signs early; always focusing on the process of learning and consolidation of psychomotor achievements. Thus, the treatment consists of stimulating the child trough the active game to get the psychomotor progression, working on perceptual and sensory changes, and avoiding pain during the intervention. Case report: 8-month-old lactating child with psycmotor delay referred to Early Care from Hospital. The baby presents neck hyperextension, cervicoaxial hypotonia, rejection of the prone position, opisthotonus in supine position and sporadic regurgitations. The child can not move neither maintains the sedestation. Furthermore, he does not hit toys; he has good contact but does not point out objects and does not emit bisyllables. Comments: After fourteen months of Early Care (Physiotherapy), the toddler can up and down the stairs grabbed to the railing with one hand and he gets up from the ground practically alone. He can make more complex lace with dominance of the right hand. The toddler understands concepts of permanence and of action-reaction; and he repeats many words and emits more than ten words spontaneously. The family collaboration by applying the recommended patterns has been a key piece in the treatment. The guidelines applied in various settings facilitated the achievement of motor skills and the consolidation of stages.

          Identifying infants and young children with developmental disorders in the medical home: an algorithm for developmental surveillance and screening.

          , , (2006)
          Early identification of developmental disorders is critical to the well-being of children and their families. It is an integral function of the primary care medical home and an appropriate responsibility of all pediatric health care professionals. This statement provides an algorithm as a strategy to support health care professionals in developing a pattern and practice for addressing developmental concerns in children from birth through 3 years of age. The authors recommend that developmental surveillance be incorporated at every well-child preventive care visit. Any concerns raised during surveillance should be promptly addressed with standardized developmental screening tests. In addition, screening tests should be administered regularly at the 9-, 18-, and 30-month visits. (Because the 30-month visit is not yet a part of the preventive care system and is often not reimbursable by third-party payers at this time, developmental screening can be performed at 24 months of age. In addition, because the frequency of regular pediatric visits decreases after 24 months of age, a pediatrician who expects that his or her patients will have difficulty attending a 30-month visit should conduct screening during the 24-month visit.) The early identification of developmental problems should lead to further developmental and medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, including early developmental intervention. Children diagnosed with developmental disorders should be identified as children with special health care needs, and chronic-condition management should be initiated. Identification of a developmental disorder and its underlying etiology may also drive a range of treatment planning, from medical treatment of the child to family planning for his or her parents.

            How to implement the family-centered model in early intervention

            From the results of a research aimed at improving the quality of life of families with a child with intellectual disability, the purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology for the implementation of the family-centered model in early childhood intervention centers in our country. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the collected data allow us to systematize the steps or stages that would be necessary to provide professionals and families in early intervention centers with useful tools to empower the families and to enhance the children's development. This article represents another step further from the proposals made by other researchers in other countries with different traditions and culture in the field of early intervention, and intends to reflect the characteristics of our country in terms of the history and the path of early intervention in recent decades.

              Sandifer syndrome.

              Sandifer syndrome is a rare complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease that may be more common than reported. This syndrome was first mentioned more than 50 years ago with minimal documentation in the medical literature. Because of the presentation, the patient may be referred for lengthy, expensive, and unnecessary neurologic testing. This may lead to a missed or delayed diagnosis, mismanagement, and the use of inappropriate medication. Providers should be aware of Sandifer syndrome when evaluating a child with torticollis or unusual posturing that is not associated with neuromuscular disease or injury.
