MANEIRO, F.. Rupture of the orbicular oris muscle in a wind instrument player (SATCHMO Syndrome): about a particular case. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2014, vol.60, n.237, pp.779-785. ISSN 1989-7790. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0465-546X2014000400011.
Professional musicians are not only artists but employed workers with very specific diseases related to their professions. Such diseases are sometimes so specific that they are not well known by general practitioners or specialists. We deal with an almost exclusive pathology of musicians playing metal wind instruments: the rupture of the orbicularis muscle of the lips may severely impair a brass player's ability to play. A review of the literature and a description of the syndrome is executed, as well as an analysis of the various aspects of the disability assessment: damage produced, job evaluation, labor clinical judgment and evaluation of contingency.
