by SPSS 13.0 software. Results: Patients were predominantly female
(90.3%), with an average age of diagnosis of 10.5 years. Regarding
the symptoms present in the diagnostic criteria and in descending
order, 90.3% had fever, 80.6% arthritis, 25% convulsion and 22.6%
pericarditis. The most common laboratory abnormality was a patho-
logical cylindruria (67.7%). According to these changes, therapy was
instituted. The use of oral corticosteroids was 96.8% and their as-
sociation with antimalarial occurred in 51.6% of patients. The set
of corticosteroids, azathioprine or methotrexate and antimalarial
use occurred in 12 children. A simple pulse therapy was used by
38.7% and 32.3% of patients received combination. No patient used
immunobiological. Conclusion: Treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythe-
matosus must be individualized for each patient and depend on the
location and severity of these affections. Oral corticosteroid drug
therapy was the most used.

Introduction: Trichotillomania (TTM) is characterized by recurrent
hair pulling behavior associated with satisfaction or relief after re-
moving them. The disorder is not accounted for by another mental
disorder and is not due to general medical conditions causing su-
ffering, social and occupational impairment. Studies show the scalp
as the most frequently affected region and that the average age for
the start of the frame is approximately 13 years and is associated
with greater depression and generalized anxiety. Surveys report that
20.6% of patients with TTM after the act of plucking hair started oral
behaviors such as running the hair between his lips, plucking the
root or eat the strand of hair or part it, what is called trichophagia.
Case report: A 30 years old, female, started 16 years ago presenting
social isolation, anxiety and an uncontrollable urge to pull the hairs.
After extracting them, she ate only the hair bulb feeling relief and sa-
tisfaction. Realized the act as irrational, but when she tried to resist
the urge she had discomfort characterized by intense anxiety and
autonomic symptoms. The urge became frequent and there was no
apparent motivation to feel it or realize it. Since 2005, she has been
showing worsening morning symptoms, however denies nail biting,
tics or gastric complications. Notes that she have already used some
strategies to ease the symptoms, how to occupy your hands with
some activity and use of headscarves, but was not successful. Was
diagnosed with trichotillomania associated with depression. Started
treatment with fluoxetine 20 mg / day; Carbolythium 600 mg / day
and 1 mg Alprazolam / day. In her first return shet reports clinical
improvement with a decrease in the intensity of the impulse and got
back to work. Showed slight tremors of the extremities in the first
week, that had already improved, and visible increase in capillary
volume. However in the second return, the patient had a worsening
adopting Fluoxetine 40 mg/day; Carbolythium maintained Rispe-
ridone 2 mg/day and 2 mg Clonazepam at night. She is currently
stable with improvement of the symptoms. Final remarks: Different
theories point the need to understand the etiology of the Tricolo-
mania behavior as multifactorial. Nevertheless, additional research
needs to be conducted to evaluate the relative efficacy of pharma-
cological and behavioral treatments, in addition to their association.

diogenic Shock

Introduction: Cardiac assist devices are widely used to treat cardioge-
nic shock which, in most cases, is the result of myocardial infarction,
cardiac dysrhythmia and acute myocarditis. One of these devices is
the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), which increases coronary blood
flow, providing better blood irrigation, cardiac muscle contraction
and cerebral blood flow. The purpose of this report is to describe
the clinical logistics, presenting the significance of the IABP in con-
trolling cardiogenic shock and supporting optimization of medicinal
therapy for congestive heart failure (CHF). Case report: A.G.H.O. is a
65-year-old woman previously diagnosed with hypertension, type 2
diabetes, dysrhythmia and history of heart disease (decompensated
CHF caused by dilated cardiomyopathy and mitral insufficiency). She
presented episodes of respiratory difficulty (dyspnea) when under
exertion and reaching paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea later at rest.
She developed decompensated heart failure characterised by car-
diogenic shock followed by renal failure owing to perfusion deficit.
Vasoactives were administered in order to try to normalise pressure
and contractility. With the prediction of better results and due to
the evolution of the patient's condition, which was still serious, it
was opted for the placement of IABP, which through the process of
counterpulsation, suffers inflations in diastolic periods, redirecting
the blood flow to the coronary arteries. Access to the instalation
of the IABP occurred by the right femoral artery, not being reported
any complications. The patient showed improvement in metabolic
acid-base balance and CVP (Central Venous Pressure). With the wea-
ning from medications (dobutamine and norepinephrine) the opti-
mization of the drugs for CHF, the close monitoring of vascular and
renal functions, the improved levels of consciousness and signs of
clinical metabolic and hemodynamic stability, it was decided for the
removal of the IABP on the tenth day. After the weaning from IABP,
the patient maintained metabolic and hemodynamic stability. Final
considerations: The IABP is a rather effective circulatory support in
treating cardiovascular disorders, especially in cardiogenic shock, as
it contributes decisively in the reversal of severe hypotension of
the blood flow. This report confirms the importance of the IABP in
medical practice.

Bipolar Affective Disorder Associated With Mental Retarda-
tion And Bizarre Behavior

Introduction: Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD) is a disease related
to mood or affect and it is characterized by mood disorders, with
depressive and manic episodes throughout life. The TAB may be as-
sociated with other disorders such as mental retardation in which
there is a global impairment of cognitive, language and motor skills
and social behavior. However the presence of bizarre behavior was
unusual in this disorder, complicating the diagnosis and treatment.
Case report: A 23 years old female with a history of a retarded
psychomotor development started to show symptoms at age 15 been
aggressive, impulsive and restless. Had strange behaviors like going
to school with wet uniform and use several bags at once (all of
them full of pamphlets, spoiled food, garbage and many condoms).
Moreover when she chose an outfit, pulls out all the clothes closet
throwing them on the floor. Referring insomnia waking up around
midnight to wash her hair and at four in the morning to clean the
house. Started performing overspending, stealing and present pro-
miscuous behavior. In family parties, ate compulsively, primitively
and created friction with family. Looked for the ambulatory of Areo-
lino Abreu hospital where she was diagnosed with bipolar affective
disorder associated with Mild Mental Retardation with the presence
of Bizarre Behavior, which in the case of an unusual presentation to
TAB difficult and slowed the appropriate clinical conduct. At the first
consultation was restless, with increased volume of speech, irritable
mood, impulsive, decreased need for sleep, childish behavior and
lack of sense of social standards being treated with Valproic Acid,
Clonazepam and Quetiapine. During treatment showed instability
of the frame with periods of improvement of the sleep patterns
and mood interspersed with refusing medication and running away
from home.She is currently medicated and stable. Final remarks: The
presence of Bizarre Behavior associated with TAB despite unusual
should be considered since it helps in establishing the early diag-
nosis that leads improvement in the evolution of the framework
besides a gain in quality of life of the patient.
