Abstract

Background Bilateral congenital femoral agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of simple congenital anomaly, three cases associated with femoral facial syndrome, have been reported. We describe a simple form of bilateral femoral agenesis observed in 3-month-old female baby without femoral facial syndrome and non-diabetic mother. Objective We report this case because it is a rare case and needs proper evaluation and management. The majority of cases, however, are sporadic, and therefore, the parents may be reassured that the risk of further offspring being affected is negligible. Case A 3-month-old female baby present with a complaint of short stature. The baby was born full term spontaneous labor, 2570 gram vigorous and started to cry immediately after birth. The mother has no history of diabetes, cigarette smoking, and exposure teratogens. The parents were not related by blood. X-ray examination showed bilateral agenesis of femur, normal tibia and fibula, proximal of cruris in lateral of acetabula. Conclusion Bilateral congenital femoral agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. Although commonly associated with maternal diabetes mellitus, most cases have no known cause. Keywords: femoral agenesis, congenital deformity

Abstract

Damage to the spinal cord is the pathological condition known as spinal cord injury (SCI) or spinal cord injury. This ailment, which not only causes neurological impairments but also places a significant psychological and social burden on patients, has grown to be one of the most challenging worldwide health issues. A successful stem cell-based treatment has just been created and could be the answer to this medical issue. It has been demonstrated that iPSC-dNSC stem cells are efficient at both reducing post-traumatic inflammatory conditions and kicking off neuronal cell regeneration at the location of SCI lesions. The aim of this study to investigate the the effectiveness of using iPSC in spinal cord injury. This study used the literature review method by discovering articles using the search engine Google Scholar, and PubMed. According to the search results, 413 articles were obtained in accordance with the title of the study, but 8 articles met the inclusion criteria in this study. The findings of this study showed that the iPSC methodology was applied, as well as the advantages and results of the procedure. Using iPSCs to treat SCI is still challenging and needs additional investigation.

Abstract

Spinal Cord Injury is all injuries to the spinal cord which can cause motor and sensory disturbance and even cause permanent disability and death. This study aims to determine the description of the causes of patients with Spinal Cord Injury. This type of research is retrospective descriptive. Using cross sectional techniques in sampling, the number of samples is 21 medical records of patients with a diagnosis of Spinal Cord Injury, The instruments in this study used the Spinal Cord Injury checklist sheet, while the observed variables were: causal factors and Spinal Cord Injury. The results of the study are as follows: 71.43% of the respondents' gender is male, 61.9% of the respondent's age are old age, 33.33% of the respondents' education is elementary school, and 38.1% of the respondents' occupations are entrepreneurs. The cause of Spinal Cord Injury 71.43% is traumatic, with most cases falling from a height of 53.33% , non-traumatic causes as many as 28.67% with the most cases are infections. The most common Spinal Cord Injury classifications are Grade E 52.37% and Grade A 19.5%. Incomplete lesions as much as 66.67% with symptoms of impaired mobilization as much as 66.67%. The most common cause of Spinal Cord Injury is can be concluded that the most common cause is TSCI / Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury with the highest prevalence is falling from height

Abstract

Introduction. Torticollis, also known as crooked neck, is a contraction or contracture of the neck muscles that causes the head to tilt to one side. This is accompanied by rotation of the chin to the opposite side with flexion. The congenital form of torticollis usually appears within a few weeks of birth. The basis of diagnosis is clinical examination findings, and the mainstay of treatment is physical therapy. Surgical management is an option only when medical and physical treatments are not producing the desired results or for cosmetic reasons. Case Report. A-11 year young girl came with a chief complaints of a tilted head to the right, she also had difficulty shaking her head and nodding and had an asymmetrical face. This has been experienced since birth. Result. The patient underwent bipolar removal of the lower end of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle (SCM). The patient’s neck was extended with a sandbag, and then the patient’s head was turned toward the shoulder on the opposite, uninvolved side. First, the distal portion of the SCM was released by making a skin incision 3 to 5 cm long on the medial end of the clavicle, with consideration given to palpable fibrous bands, and then deepening the incision to the tendons of the sternal and clavicular attachments of the SCM. The tight band and muscle tendon were dissected to pass a right angle instrument posterior to the tendons and were then resected by electrocautery near the insertion site to the clavicle. The SCM was then carefully dissected and released near the bone, while checking the nearby nerves and vessels. Outcomes were assessed using the cervicalmandibular angle (CMA), calculated using the radiological head tilt, which was defined as the angle between the line crossing the upper border of the C7 vertebral body and another line connecting the lower border of the mandibular angle. Conclusion. Release of the bipolar CMT in the patient in this study increased head tilt, leading to a better quality of life since surgery, and the patient adapted fairly well to her new neck position.

Abstract

Introduction: Spinal dysraphisms can be classified as either open or closed dysraphisms. Closed spinal dysraphisms such as lipomyelomeningocele, diastematomyelia, and spina bifida occulta have no exposed neural tissue and are accompanied by cutaneous markers in 43%–95% of cases, and include lesions such as subcutaneous masses, capillary hemangioma, dimples, and hairy nevus. These cutaneous markers can be used to recognize cases in an asymptomatic neonate. LMMC can be associated with additional pathologies, including Chiari malformation type 1 (13%), spina bifida (14.4%), split cord malformations (3.1%), associated dermal sinuses (3.1%), dermoid or epidermoid cysts (3.1%), diastematomyelia (3.1%), terminal hydromyelia (3.1%), anal stenosis (1.0%), and Down syndrome (1.0%). Case Report: A year old girl, came to our department with chief complaint of lump on the back since the patient was born. No history of increased intracranial pressure was complained. On physical examination, there is no maceration on the lump, and there is no sign of ruptured lump on the back. Patient also has active motoric on all extremity. We diagnosed the patient with spina bifida. We did CT scan of the head to rule out hydrocephalus and MRI for the confirmation of spina bifida. Excision of cele was done. Postoperatively, there is an increased of csf leak of the patient from the excised cele and we decided to do cisternostomy. After cisternotomy, there is no increased of leakage and patient also have good motoric function. Patient was treated in our outpatient clinic and has good recovery after surgery. Discussion: Lipomyelomeningocele is a rare but complicated defect, lying in the spectrum of occult neural tube defects. It is actually a form of occult spinal dysraphism in which a subcutaneous fibrofatty mass traverses the lumbodorsal fascia, causes a spinal laminar defect, displaces the dura, and infiltrates and tethers the spinal cord. Spinal lipomas and LMMCs are frequently associated with cutaneous and musculoskeletal abnormalities in addition to sensorimotor deficits and urological dysfunction. Cutaneous lesions include subcutaneous lipomas, capillary hemangiomas, complex dimples, and hypertrichosis, whereas complex malformations, such as dermal appendages, are rare. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in demonstrating the presence of a fatty mass and cord tethering. Surgical objectives in a lipomyelomeningocele repair include removal of the adipose mass, identification of the defect in the lumbosacral fascia for release of the tether, possible release of the filum terminale, preservation of neural elements, and prevention of retethering of the spinal cord. After operation for lipomyelomeningocele, the cord may not be completely untethered, or after a short period may retether Discussion: Cisternostomy may be done in cases of spina bifida without hydrocephalus in our experience
