Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy.
Spast ic i ty is def ined as a movement disorder characterised by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes. Children with spastic CP have a neuromuscular mobility impairment stemming from an upper motor neuron lesion in the brain over the areas in the motor cortex or the corticospinal tract, which descends in the spinal cord, in the lateral columns and carries signals for volunta...
متن کاملCerebral pH and Somatosensory Evoked Potentials After Incomplete Ischemia
Background and Purpose: Postischemic evoked potential recovery correlates with acidosis during ischemia and early reperfusion. Acidosis promotes lipid peroxidation in vitro. We tested the hypothesis that the 21-aminosteroid tirilazad mesylate (U74006F), an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in vitro, ameliorates somatosensory evoked potential recovery and acidosis during reperfusion after severe i...
متن کاملIntraoperative Neurophysiology Monitoring During Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy for Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical procedure currently used as a surgical treatment of children with spasticity in their legs. In SDR, the dorsal roots from L2 to S1 or S2 is partially sectioned. The primary goal of SDR is to reduce spasticity and improve the range of movement with preservation of muscle strength. The dorsal roots involved in spasticity are identified on the ba...
متن کاملReduction in upper-extremity tone after lumbar selective dorsal rhizotomy in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
OBJECT Randomized clinical trials have established that lumbar selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) reduces lower-extremity tone and improves functional outcome in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Significant data exist to support a secondary effect on upper-extremity function in patients with upper-extremity spasticity. The effects of SDR on upper-extremity tone, however, are not well charact...
متن کاملSpinal deformity after selective dorsal rhizotomy in ambulatory patients with cerebral palsy.
Thirty-four patients with ambulatory spastic diplegia (ages 10-19.8 years) who were part of a prospective study of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) had standardized radiographs before and after SDR. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 11.6 years after surgery. Two different surgical approaches were used: laminectomy (14 patients) and laminoplasty (20 patients). Radiographs were measured for coronal and ...
