Congenital Vertebral Defects

چکیده

The spinal column is the central structure in the vertebrate body from which stability, movement, and posture all derive. The vertebrae of the spine are organized into four regions (listed in order from cranial to caudal): cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic. These regions are classified by their differences in curvature. The human spine usually consists of thirtythree vertebrae, seven of which are cervical (C1?C7), twelve are thoracic (T1?T12), five are lumbar (L1?L5), and nine are pelvic (five fused as the sacrum [4] and four fused as the coccyx).

Facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence in association with congenital hypoparathyroidism.

Although, Facio-auriculo-vertebral sequence (FAVS) is a well recognized condition with cranio-facial, ocular and vertebral anomalies, extreme variability of expression is characteristic. Association of cardiac, CNS, lungs, kidneys and limb defects are described. We report a neonatal case with FAVS in association with congenital hypoparathyroidism.

Etiology of Congenital Scoliosis

Congenital scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, resulting from disruption of normal vertebral development. Although there are many types of defects observed in congenital scoliosis, all result from abnormal formation and segmentation of the vertebral precursors, called somites. Developmental studies in animal models have identified many genes regulating somite formation and ...

Lack of evidence of WNT3A as a candidate gene for congenital vertebral malformations

BACKGROUND Prior investigations have not identified a major locus for vertebral malformations, providing evidence that there is genetic heterogeneity for this condition. WNT3A has recently been identified as a negative regulator of Notch signaling and somitogenesis. Mice with mutations in Wnt3a develop caudal vertebral malformations. Because congenital vertebral malformations represent a sporad...

Anatomical dissection of a cadaver with congenital scoliosis.

Congenital scoliosis is a developmental anomaly involving poorly formed or fused vertebral segments resulting in an abnormal lateral curvature of the vertebral column and is often accompanied by significant rotational defects. Despite abundant literature on causes, diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, little attention has been given to impacts of this condition on the musculoskeletal system be...
