Clinical, genetic and environmental factors associated with congenital vertebral malformations.
Congenital vertebral malformations (CVM) pose a significant health problem because they can be associated with spinal deformities, such as congenital scoliosis and kyphosis, in addition to various syndromes and other congenital malformations. Additional information remains to be learned regarding the natural history of congenital scoliosis and related health problems. Although significant progr...
متن کاملAre there genetic influences on sporadic brain arteriovenous malformations?
The genesis of brain arteriovenous malformations remains enigmatic. We reviewed some pathways involving inflammatory and angiogenic signals that are amenable to the study of genetic single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the sporadic disease. Such study can yield insights into arteriovenous malformation pathogenesis and suggest possible fruitful approaches to developing medical therapy...
متن کاملGenetic causes of vascular malformations.
Vascular malformations are localized defects of vascular development. They usually affect a limited number of vessels in a restricted area of the body. Although most malformations are sporadic, inheritance is observed, enabling genetic analysis. Usually, sporadic forms present with a single lesion whereas multiple lesions are observed in familial cases. The last decade has seen unraveling of se...
متن کاملArteriovenous Malformations of the Brain.
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 51-year-old woman presents with a generalized tonic–clonic seizure. After a brief postictal period, she recovers fully and does not report headache or other neurologic symptoms. She takes no medications and her medical history is unremarkable. Computed tomography of the head suggests a right occipital arteriovenous malformation, without evidence...
