Spinal Dysraphic Malformations by Dachling Pang,Kyu-Chang Wang Pdf

This book includes detailed discussions of the latest science in the embryogenesis of spinal dysraphic malformations, and a well-illustrated guide to their surgical repair. In addition to covering the actual malformations, and because, with the probable exception of prenatal closure of the open neural tube defect, all surgical repairs of other dysraphic malformations require sophisticated intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), an in-depth chapter is devoted to the physics, physiology, techniques, parameters and patterns of electrophysiological responses in representative dysraphic lesions. As the evaluation of bladder function is crucial for the assessment of the pre-operative clinical status and long-term outcome of the patient with spinal dysraphism, an entire chapter is devoted to the neurophysiology of micturition, the symptoms of neuropathic bladder, and to the explanation of the complexities of proper urodynamics. The book will be an invaluable tool for paediatric neurosurgical consultants interested in spinal dysraphism and for fellows and other trainees in this discipline.

Split Cord Malformations by Ashok K. Mahapatra,Sachin A. Borkar,Subhashree Mahapatra Pdf

Split Cord Malformations is written with the purpose of providing a complete overview of the management of this rare condition. The book benefits from the rich experience and expertise of its contributing authors in the management of spinal dysraphism in general and split cord malformation in particular. The book highlights the way a SCM patient must be treated to get excellent results. This book has 14 chapters dealing with all aspects of SCM ranging from embryology, diagnosis, and management. Key Features Clear depiction of the types of Split cord malformations. Various classification systems of SCM are covered along with their surgical implications. Dorsoventral spur, its pathogenesis, and treatment nuances are discussed in detail as it is a special condition needing special care to prevent spinal cord damage. Management of SCM type I and type II needs specific attention as they are of different nature. The explanations offered in the book cover both adequately. Protocol for SCM management is discussed along with long-term outcome. It also showcases a separate chapter on complex SCMs. The associated pathology like meningomyelocele, lipoma, thick filum, and congenital tumors must be managed on their own merit. Hence, proper diagnosis of the complex SCM helps in planning surgical strategy. Anesthesia consideration for planning surgery in small babies is essential which is thoroughly catered in this book.

The Pediatric Spine II by Anthony J. Raimondi,Maurice Choux,Concezio Di Rocco Pdf

It is estimated that the functionally significant body of knowledge for a given medical specialty changes radically every 8 years. New specialties and "sub specialization" are occurring at approximately an equal rate. Historically, estab lished journals have not been able either to absorb this increase in publishable material or to extend their readership to the new specialists. International and national meetings, symposia and seminars, workshops, and newsletters success fully bring to the attention of physicians within developing specialties what is occurring, but generally only in demonstration form without providing historical perspective, pathoanatomical correlates, or extensive discussion. Page and time limitations oblige the authors to present only the essence of their material. Pediatric neurosurgery is an example of a specialty that has developed during the past 15 years. Over this period, neurosurgeons have obtained special train ing in pediatric neurosurgery, and then dedicated themselves primarily to its practice. Centers, Chairs, and educational programs have been established as groups of neurosurgeons in different countries throughout the world organized themselves respectively into national and international societies for pediatric neurosurgery. These events were both preceded and followed by specialized courses, national and international journals, and ever-increasing clinical and investigative studies into all aspects of surgically treatable diseases of the child's nervous system.

Pediatric Neurology by Michel Zerah,Abhaya V. Kulkarni Pdf

Malformations of the spinal cord are one of the most frequent malformations. They should be clearly divided into two completely different families of malformations: open dysraphisms and occult dysraphisms. Open dysraphism mostly consists in myelomeningocele (MMC). Its incidence is 1/1000 live births with a wide variation. Folic acid supplementation has been shown to reduce its risk. In most cases, the diagnosis is done prenatally by serum screening and ultrasound and may lead to termination of pregnancy. In case of decision to continue pregnancy, surgical treatment must be achieved during the first days of life, and in 50 to 90% of cases, a ventricular shunt must be installed. The follow-up of these children must be continued throughout life looking for late complications (Chiari II and syringomyelia, vertebral problems, neuropathic bladder, tethered cord). Occult dysraphisms are a heterogeneous group of malformations. Lipomas (filum and conus) are the most frequent and their treatment remains controversial. Diastematomyelia, neurenteric cysts, dermal sinus, and more complex forms (Currarino syndrome) belong to this group. Most of them can and must be diagnosed prenatally or at birth by careful examination of the lower back for the cutaneous stigmata of the disease to decrease the risk of neurological, urological, or orthopedic permanent handicap.

The Growing Spine by Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Muharrem Yazici,George H. Thompson Pdf

Spinal disorders in very young children may be caused by a variety of conditions. The treatment of such conditions is often challenging due to the age of the patient and the progressive nature of the deformity. There also may be associated problems such as congenital anomalies, respiratory insufficiency, and neurological problems. Depending on the etiology of the deformity, these children are often cared for by multiple specialists including pediatricians, pediatric orthopaedists or orthopaedic spine surgeons, neurologists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric neurosurgeons, oncologists, and/or pulmonologists. Health professionals in all of the mentioned disciplines are involved in the management of these patients, which is why compiling a comprehensive textbook that is not limited to orthopedic specialists is essential. This textbook will effectively help to standardize the care of these patients. Furthermore, other professionals such as nurses, physical therapists and healthcare professionals in training are usually not familiar with these conditions and are in need of a reference book to consult when caring for children with spinal deformities.

Common Neurosurgical Conditions in the Pediatric Practice by Jeffrey P. Greenfield,Caroline B. Long Pdf

This unique title is designed to illustrate and foster how a closer working relationship between pediatricians and subspecialists can make childhood medicine work more seamlessly. Despite the common lack of training for pediatricians in pediatric neurosurgery, they are challenged almost daily with caring for children with neurologic conditions. Common Neurological Conditions in the Pediatric Practice is replete with a wide range of instructional case vignettes and is organized into sections that loosely approximate the neurologic development of a child and address issues that are commonly encountered. The first section reviews neurologic development and birth related trauma commonly seen in the neonatal intensive care unit. The second part addresses findings commonly encountered by a pediatrician in a child’s first month of life. The third section is a comprehensive review of hydrocephalus. Part four describes state of the art imaging techniques for the central nervous system in children, from pre-natal ultrasound through MRI and CT; and the fifth part consists of individual explorations of common neurosurgical conditions that many pediatricians are uncomfortable managing, including brain tumors, spasticity, and vascular lesions to use as a reference tool when caring for a complex neurosurgical patient. Finally a series of chapters related to head trauma, including sections on non-accidental trauma and concussion management, completes the text.
