  2. Gibbus deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbus_deformity

    Gibbus deformity most often develops in young children as a result of spinal tuberculosis and is the result of collapse of vertebral bodies. [1] [2] [3] This can in turn lead to spinal cord compression causing paraplegia. [4] [5] In addition to tuberculosis, other possible causes of gibbus deformity include pathological diseases, hereditary and ...

  3. Vertebral compression fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_compression_fracture

    A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra.It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra (compare with burst fracture).This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta, lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors, [1] or infection. [2]

  4. Congenital vertebral anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_vertebral_anomaly

    Hemivertebrae are wedge-shaped vertebrae and therefore can cause an angle in the spine (such as kyphosis, scoliosis, and lordosis). Among the congenital vertebral anomalies, hemivertebrae are the most likely to cause neurologic problems. [5] The most common location is the midthoracic vertebrae, especially the eighth (T8). [6]

  5. Spinal cord compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_compression

    Spinal cord compression is a form of myelopathy in which the spinal cord is compressed. Causes can be bone fragments from a vertebral fracture, a tumor, abscess, ruptured intervertebral disc or other lesion. When acute it can cause a medical emergency independent of its cause, and require swift diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term ...

  6. Spinal disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_disease

    There are many recognized spinal diseases, some more common than others. Spinal disease also includes cervical spine diseases, which are diseases in the vertebrae of the neck. A lot of flexibility exists within the cervical spine and because of that, it is common for an individual to damage that area, especially over a long period of time.

  7. Pott's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pott's_disease

    The spinal canal may become narrowed due to abscesses, granulation tissue, or direct dural invasion resulting in compression of cord and neurological deficits. [3] Kyphosis is a result of the front of the spine collapsing. Injury to the thoracic spine are more likely to result in kyphosis compared to lumbar spine injuries. [3]

  9. Spinal fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_fracture

    The thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score (TLICS) is a scoring system to determine the need to surgically treat a spinal fracture of thoracic or lumbar vertebrae. The score is the sum of three values, each being the score of the most fitting alternative in three categories: [8] Injury type. Compression fracture - 1 point
