Neurologic signs result from severe angulation of the spine, narrowing of the spinal canal, instability of the spine, and luxation or fracture of the vertebrae. Signs include rear limb weakness or paralysis, urinary or fecal incontinence, and spinal pain. [5] Most cases of hemivertebrae have no or mild symptoms, so treatment is usually ...
The three categories treated for types of spinal cord deficiencies are massive fusion of the cervical spine (Type I), the fusion of 1 or 2 vertebrae (Type II), and the presence of thoracic and lumbar spine anomalies in association with type I or type II Klippel–Feil syndrome (Type III).

[1] [3] [4] They may be born with congenital vertebral anomalies; parts of the spine may be fused and fail to segment. [4] There may also be extra vertebrae in the lower back. [5] [7] Some of those affected have been reported to have premature fusion of the skull bones (craniosynostosis), particularly those across the midline and at the front ...
Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome manifests itself in many different areas of the body. It causes heart defects, multiple congenital anomalies, and dysmorphic features. The following is a list of the symptoms most commonly exhibited: [1] Variable vertebral anomalies; Brachydactyly; Conductive hearing loss; High palate; Mitral regurgitation ...
AKI - the other main type of kidney disease - can be caused by dehydration, blood loss, urinary tract obstructions such as kidney stones or blood clots, low blood pressure, or heart disease. It ...
It is a congenital disorder in which the fetal development of the lower spine—the caudal partition of the spine—is abnormal. [1] It occurs at a rate of approximately one per 60,000 live births. [2] Some babies are born with very small differences compared to typical development, and others have significant changes.
C - Cardiovascular anomalies; T - Tracheoesophageal fistula; E - Esophageal atresia; R - Renal (Kidney) and/or radial anomalies; L - Limb defects; Although it was not conclusive whether VACTERL should be defined by at least two or three component defects, [4] it is typically defined by the presence of at least three of the above congenital ...
