METHODS
Consecutive series of patients with idiopathic scoliosis with atypical features.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to define a specific yet sensitive set of signs and symptoms to indicate the use of MRI in patients with atypical idiopathic scoliosis. Specifically, this study empirically
BACKGROUND
The syndrome of horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is a rare human disease and while its association with scoliosis was first reported in 1974, thirty years later the responsible genetic mutations are being elucidated. This progress was due to the reporting of single
BACKGROUND
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformation that affects adolescents, especially girls. The etiopathogenesis of this disease remains uncertain, and studies have been carried out to understand its cause and related organs. Previous studies suggest that
We retrospectively reviewed the magnetic resonance imaging studies that had been made for ninety-five patients who had idiopathic scoliosis. We wished to determine if we could identify any criteria that should be met before these studies are performed. The study group included thirty-one male
This case report demonstrates the successful anesthetic management of cesarean section for a 29-year-old primiparous parturient with a past history of a scoliosis operation at 13 years of age. An Isola hook and screw-rod system had been implanted as posterior spinal instrumentation at the level of
BACKGROUND
We assessed clinical and etiological association between vestibular pathology and idiopathic scoliosis concerning seven members of three families with idiopathic scoliosis.
METHODS
The families were referred to neurotology center for evaluation of balance problems. Patients were evaluated
[Purpose] To present a case demonstrating the reduction of progressive thoracolumbar scoliosis by incorporating Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) technique's mirror image® exercises, traction and blocking procedures based on the 'non-commutative properties of finite rotation angles under addition'
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine associated with disturbed postural control. Cervical proprioception participates in controlling orthostatic posture via its influence on head stabilization. We hypothesized that patients with AIS exhibit altered
METHODS
Retrospective case series.
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the incidence of postoperative neurological symptoms after a freehand pedicle screw insertion technique in idiopathic posterior scoliosis surgery.
BACKGROUND
It is generally accepted that pedicle screws can be inserted by a freehand
When a dural defect is encountered during spine surgery, the dura mater must be reconstituted to minimize the occurrence of minor or major life-threatening sequelae. The neurosurgical literature lacks strategies for managing large dural defects encountered during surgery. The authors describe a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the complications of spastic cerebral palsy with selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR).
METHODS
In the study, 2 593 patients who had undergone SPR from January 2000 to September 2012 were followed-up for at least one year. The complications were
In the years 1891 and 1892 an extensive study was carried out to determine the health of Norwegian school children. It was the first of its kind in the country. 16 middle schools and secondary schools from different parts of the country participated. The large majority of the children were between
We herein report the case of a 22-year-old Caucasian man with known vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia, cardiac defects, renal and limb anomalies (VACTERL) association who presented with a headache and vertigo following the sudden and temporary loss of
OBJECTIVE
The study aims to describe the clinical profile of the adult Fontan survivor and identify the worries, symptoms, and the impact of cardiac surveillance most commonly experienced.
METHODS
A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used.
METHODS
The study was performed in outpatient adult and
We describe a case of convulsive status epilepticus caused by intracranial hypotension, a complication of spinal surgery. Intracranial hypotension (IH) is typically characterized by an orthostatic headache. There have been limited case reports describing surgery-associated IH
