Objective: The study aimed to report the incidence of CSF leakage in patients with a tethered spinal cord, post-operatively. Materials and Methods: A total 75 individuals aged more than 2 years either gender who were hospitalized for surgery cord syndrome included. All had preoperative MRI spine, those above age 6 urodynamic tests. Clinical evaluations performed until hospital release, then aga...

Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare spinal cord disorder caused by spinal cord prolapse through a adural defect. It is a curable disease, so early detection is of particular importance. We report a 38-year-old woman with Brown-Sequard syndrome which was caused by the thoracic spinal cord herniation. Her weakness was almost completely resolved after surgical management, which emphasizes ...

Copy number variations have been found in patients with neural tube abnormalities. In this study, we performed genome-wide screening using high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization in three children with tethered spinal cord syndrome and two healthy parents. Of eight copy number variations, four were non-polymorphic. These non-polymorphic copy number variations were associat...

All pathologic neuromuscular disorders have two common characteristics: (1) they occur as a direct result of damage to nervous tissue (supraspinal, spinal cord or peripheral nerve); and (2) the damage results in a disruption of a feedback loop or communication path between supraspinal structures (brain) or between supraspinal structures and the organs associated with them. These include four se...

We report the case of a 55-year-old man who presented with acute coronary syndrome due to coronary slow flow after spinal cord injury. Data regarding the causes and clinical manifestations of coronary slow flow are inconclusive, but the autonomic nervous system is believed to be at least a contributing factor. The predominant vagal activity causes vasodilation and hemostasis, which can lead to ...

A nuchal cord (or Cord-Around-the Neck (CAN)) occurs when the umbilical cord becomes wrapped around the fetal neck 360 degrees. Nuchal cords are very common, the incidence of nuchal cord increases with advancing gestation from 12% at 24 to 26 weeks to 37% at term [1]. Most are not associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality. In some fetuses and newborns CAN may cause problems, especially ...

Polydipsia and polyuria associated with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) are rare consequences. The hypothetical pathophysiological mechanisms involve mild brain (TBI) and/or vagus dysfunction injury. In a retrospective study of 11 patients, we investigated associations between polydipsia-polyuria syndrome various clinical therapeutic factors: medullary section syndrome, neurological level, m...
