The morphological study of split cord malformation and intraspinal bony spur in congenital scoliosis patients.
- Keywords:
- Spine/AB; Spinal cord; Spinal Dysraphism
- Abstract:
- ObjectiveTo evaluate the morphological character including intraspinal shape, level and location of split cord malformations (SCM)s and bony spurs (BS)s associated with congenital scoliosis(CS). Methods CT and MRI scan results of 136 SCM associated with CS patients were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsBoth type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ SCM had the highest incidence presenting in lumbar segments of spine, secondly in thoracolumbar and thoracic segments, the incidence is low in cervical segments; BSs in type Ⅰ SCM have the highest incidence presenting in lumbar segments, the next is thoracolumbar and thoracic segments, and in cervical is rare. Most BSs is runthrough type with few ventral and dorsal type exists. Conclusions There is a high incidence of SCM in CS patients. CT and MRI scan will be beneficial to know the morphological character of SCM and BS Preoperative, and will be helpful to the treatment.
