Although neurological involvement in Behçet's disease is not so uncommon, isolated spinal cord disease is quite rare and reported to be observed in about 2% of all cases with neurological involvement. Here we report a Behçet's patient with spinal cord disease presented with anterior spinal cord syndrome. This rare syndrome is caused by hypoperfusion of the anterior spinal artery and to our know...
Tethered cord syndrome is a congenital disease associated with abnormal stretching of the spinal and lumbosacral roots caused by tight terminal filum. Untethering surgery performed to minimize or prevent ongoing neurological deficits in lower limbs, bladder, bowel functions. As untethering itself carries risk inducing additional neural injuries, intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring inc...
AIMS To compare the levels of conus medullaris in preterm and term neonates; to show the time of ascent to normal; and to evaluate the babies with low conus medullaris levels for tethered cord syndrome. METHODS Levels were assessed using ultrasonography in 41 preterm and 64 term neonates. RESULTS In the preterm group the conus medullaris level in one infant (2.4%) was below L4. In three inf...
dysfunction due to congenital fixation or tethering of the distal spinal cord by the terminal filum is known as TCS. This member of the OSD family is often seen by pediatric and general neurosurgeons, and both the diagnosis and treatment are controversial and can be difficult. Drawing from a detailed literature review and our own experience with this entity at the Children’s Hospital, Birmingha...
Segmental spinal dysgenesis is a rare and challenging entity especially when associated with occult dysraphism. Experience with a female patient followed during a period of 10 years spanning from 5 to 15 years of age is reported. During that period the girl underwent three spinal operations consisting in one decompression and spinal cord untethering, one posterior instrumented fusion and a spin...
Spinal dysraphisms are defined as open and closed dysraphisms. A hemivertebra is a congenital condition seen in 61% of patients with congenital anomalies. The first report of the excision of a hemivertebra was by Royle in 1928. A sixteen-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with a congenital stain on the waist and a normal neurological examination. No new cases have been reported in recent ...
We describe a seminal case report of a child with a tethered cord syndrome secondary to the unusual constellation of a split cord malformation, lumbar myelomeningocele, and coexisting neurenteric cyst. A 17-year-old adolescent girl with a several-month history of myelopathy and urinary incontinence was examined whose spinal MRI scan demonstrated a type II split cord malformation with a large bo...
OBJECTIVE To establish clinical guidelines for the clinical use and interpretation of motor evoked potentials (MEP) in diagnosing and monitoring patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Recommendations for MEP use and interpretation will help us rationalise and optimise resources used in MS patient diagnosis and follow up. METHOD We completed an extensive literature review and pooled our own da...
Since little has been reported about complications of spinal anesthesia in adult tethered cord syndrome (TCS), we sought to delineate the characteristics of the condition.A total of 4 cases of adult TCS after spinal anesthesia were reviewed. The medical charts of the patients were obtained. Anesthesia, which was combined spinal and epidural anesthesia or spinal anesthesia was performed, and fol...
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. PURPOSE To compare long-term results of surgery with the outcomes of symptomatic and asymptomatic tethered cord syndrome (TCS) in children and adolescents and to assess the surgery duration for those with TCS. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Pediatric patients with TCS continue to pose significant diagnostic and management challenges. METHODS We retrospecti...
