Case Description.
This report describes the evolution, necessary adaptations, and complications in the treatment of a 9-year-old child with primary congenital lymphedema.
Description of Intervention.
The clinical treatment of lymphedema was started in the first year of the patient’s life and for five years she was only treated using the Godoy & Godoy technique of cervical stimulation.
Three years ago the patient was prescribed a compression stocking made from a cotton-polyester fabric (grosgrain) because of a sudden increase in the lymphedema after she started to take growth hormones.
Outcome and Conclusion.
The combination of cervical stimulation and a compression stocking was effective to keep the child’s life relatively normal, performing all day-to-day and recreational activities.
