Lipomatosis Congénita

La lipomatosis congénita es una dolencia rara que tiene lugar como consecuencia de un tumor benigno compuesto de tejido graso debajo de la piel. Este tipo de marcas de nacimiento comúnmente provoca una deformidad progresiva a medida que el niño crece, lo que suele afectar principalmente al cuello o la cara. Es importante elegir un médico que tenga experiencia en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la lipomatosis congénita, ya que conlleva riesgos adicionales, así como el potencial de que se vuelva a reproducir después de su extirpación. El Dr. Greg Levitin, en el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento de Nueva York, está especializado en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de la lipomatosis congénita.

Debido a la rareza implícita en la lipomatosis congénita, su hijo o hija tendrá que pasar por una evaluación exhaustiva antes de discutir con usted las distintas opciones de tratamiento. El Dr. Levitin tiene las herramientas y la experiencia necesarias para proporcionar un diagnóstico preciso y un tratamiento efectivo. Cuando las marcas vasculares de nacimiento están en la cara o en el cuello, existe un mayor riesgo de daño a los nervios asociado con el tratamiento, que son mitigados, en gran medid, gracias a las innovadoras y precisas técnicas utilizadas en el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas vasculares de Nacimiento.

Tratamiento de la Lipomatosis Congénita

A la edad de 3 años, la mayoría de los niños desarrollan el sentido del “sí mismo”, lo que significa que empiezan a ser conscientes de cómo se ven en comparación con otros niños. Aunque es posible que no entiendan completamente por qué pudieran sentirse acomplejados a esta edad, aprenden rápidamente y pronto mostrarán un comportamiento que sugiere que se sienten avergonzados debido a problemas como la lipomatosis congénita.

La búsqueda de un tratamiento temprano ayudará a su hijo o hija a desarrollar un sentido sano y saludable de sí mismo. Cuanto más avanzada sea la edad del niño al que se le proporciona un tratamiento, será más probable que los efectos psicológicos causados por la lipomatosis congénita persistan en edad adulta. El Dr. Levitin estará encantado de asesorarle y discutir con usted las mejores acciones a llevar a cabo, en función de las necesidades personales y específicas de su hijo.

Como el daño a los nervios, la cicatrización y la recurrencia son algunas de las principales preocupaciones asociadas con la lipomatosis congénita, el Dr. Levitin combina su amplia experiencia como cirujano plástico, con las herramientas más vanguardistas y especializadas para garantizar que cualquier riesgo a correr sea el mínimo. Durante más de una década, ha utilizado con éxito un sistema intraoperatorio de monitoreo de nervios, con el que reduce el riesgo de causar daños a los nervios faciales a menos del 1%, lo que convierte al Dr. Greg Levitin en uno de los médicos más confiables del país a la hora de diagnosticar y ofrecer tratamientos de marcas vasculares de nacimiento.

Dr. Levitin is very knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. Five years ago, I needed to find information about a birth mark that my newborn daughter started to grow a couple days after birth. I was afraid, I did not feel like I got any clear information about it through my insurance; also, they did not offer any course of treatment for it. I started to look for information, the birthmark was growing each day, information was scarce and I just got more scared. Finally, I found a video in Youtube from a grandmother who was very grateful after finding treatment for her grand daughter through The Birthmark Foundation. It was a huge blessing to me and my family. I found Dr. Levitin, I contacted him thinking he probably would not even answer. I was wrong, he kindly answered promptly, got in touch with me and soon he had a plan : ) I went to see him at the Birthmark Center in Los Angeles. He explained everything in a way that it was so clear to understand, no question I made was insignificant and his answers were each very informative. I really never have had an experience with a doctor who explains and speaks in such a way. I left his office knowing that my daughter was in the best hands and the best care. I first thank God for the Birthmark Foundation, a great organization with the highest quality of doctors. Also, a very special thanks to Dr. Levitin for all his help and kindness, for listening to my concerns and answering each and every question. And last, but no least, to the Birthmark Foundation Center in Los Angeles : ) I hope many children can find help/care in this place as I found it for my daughter. Thank you forever.

I will be telling tales of the good doctors compassion till time comes to an end. Because of Dr Levitin, I have more confidence in my every day life. He was fast, knowledgeable, precise and all with a disarming sense of humor. Two thumbs up!

we are forever grateful for Dr. Levitin. My daughter Lena had surgery to remove her hemangioma that was located on her forehead at just 6 month old. she healed beautifully and we couldn't be happier with how minimal her scar is, even almost 4.5 years later. Dr. Levitin is caring, compassionate, and such a great doctor/surgeon overall. He had our daughter's best interest and I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend him any chance I get!

My name is Chris and I was recently treated for an AVM on my forehead by Dr. Gregory Levitin of New York (New York Eye and Ear Infirmary). Thankfully, I live within a few hours of NYC. In brief, I would like to say that Dr. Levitin is very capable doctor with a lot of experience with AVMs. He responds quickly to e-mail, texts, and phone calls. He accepts insurance. He takes a "team approach" and will be your "QB" and involve other specialists as necessary. In my particular case they were Dr. Raj Shrivastava (Mt Sinai) and Dr. Raphael A. Ortiz (Lenox Hill) in NY. I recommend contacting Dr Levitin for a consultation if you suspect you have an AVM. All 3 Drs are just good people. When I spoke to them, they treated me like like an equal. I felt like they were advising me as a close friend or family member. Like many that suffer with AVMs I was at first mis-diagnosed. What was thought to be a just a simple cyst turned out to be an AVM. Surgery to remove the cyst made the AVM about 5x bigger. My treatment entailed a few MRIs and CAT scans to determine what was going on and the treatment plan. This was followed by consultation with the 3 Drs mentioned above and finally a 2-day procedure. On day 1 Dr Ortiz embolized the AVM. On day 2 Dr Levitin and Dr Shrivastava removed the AVM from my skull and put some metal mesh there to fill the "hole". It has been 6-months since the surgery and so far I have not had any recurrence. In honor of Vascular Birthmark Awareness Day and to thank these Drs for all they have done for me, I just want to give everyone a solid reference. Finding the right doctor for this type of stuff makes all the difference.

This year marks the 10th that I contacted VBF for help. Since then I have been under the care of Dr. G Levitin and Dr. R. Ortiz, they are my guardian healing angels! Thanks VBF for not only helping me but also for letting me be a volunteer in the foundation whenever I am needed. A Big Hug to all from MIAMI... Alicia
