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 ...
Klippel–Feil syndrome (KFS), also known as cervical vertebral fusion syndrome, is a rare congenital condition characterized by the abnormal fusion of any two of the seven bones in the neck (cervical vertebrae). [1]: 578 It can result in a limited ability to move the neck and shortness of the neck, resulting in the appearance of a low hairline ...
[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 ...
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.
Cervical spinal nerve C7 controls triceps and wrist extension. Cervical spinal nerve C8 helps control the hand. [18] The cervicocranial syndrome occurs when symptoms arise due to cervical vertebrae damage (misalignment, collapse, shift or disease, such as tumor) resulting in the improper functioning of the cervical spinal nerves.
Hydronephrosis is a relatively common condition, and researchers have theorized that this may lead to urinary tract infections. [8] In addition, a number of patients have suffered from cystic dysplasia of the kidney. [1] A number of other conditions are often associated with Robinow syndrome.
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 ...
