Pregnancy in a patient suffering from high spinal cord lesions is unusual and can lead to serious autonomic hyperreflexia during delivery. Epidural anaesthesia has been suggested as a means of decreasing such a risk. This clinical report presents the case of a paraplegic patient with lesions above
This study aims to elucidate surgical risk factors in neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) with respect to wound site infection after spinal fusion.A retrospective review was performed of all patients treated surgically for NMS between January 2008 and December In 107 cases of suicidal hanging the CVC was investigated systematically. A frequency of lesions at a rate of 65% was found. There were only soft-tissue-lesions with the maximum in C 5/6. The 2nd maximum was the occipito-atlanto-axis-region (C 0/2). This distribution depends on traction.
BACKGROUND
Hypochondroplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by disproportionately short stature, lumbar lordosis, and limited extension of the elbow caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene that plays a role in controlling nervous system development.
An 11-old boy with Prader-Willi syndrome and partial epilepsy was reported. Muscular hypotonia in early infancy was extreme and developmental milestones were retarded, especially walk and speech. He achieved these landmarks within three years. The first seizure disorder was seen in the 9th year. The
Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (OMIM *242900) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects primarily the bone, the immune system, the kidneys, the skin and the vascular system. The patients have intrauterine growth retardation, short stature with short neck and trunk, peculiar clinical
Angelman's syndrome (AS) is a genetic neurodevelopment disorder. The cause is a known abnormality involving the maternal inherited ubiquitin-protein ligase (UBE3A) gene. Clinical characteristics universal to the disorder are well documented in the literature and include developmental delay,
OBJECTIVE High rates of perioperative complications are associated with deformity correction in neuromuscular scoliosis. The current study aimed to evaluate complications associated with surgical correction of neuromuscular scoliosis and to characterize potential risk factors. METHODS Data were
