CLINICAL AND NEUROIMAGING EXAMINATION 3-TL MR TRACTOGRAPHY OF CAUDAL PARTS OF THE SPINAL CORD IN VARIOUS FORMS OF SPINAL DYSRAPHISMS IN CHILDREN
Keywords:
fixed spinal cord syndrome, end-thread abnormalities, cicatricial-adhesive inflammatory processAbstract
One of the urgent problems of pediatric neurosurgery is the development of effective algorithms for the treatment of fixed spinal cord syndrome, characterized as a set of sensitive, motor, trophic disorders in the lower extremities, musculoskeletal deformities, pelvic and other disorders of varying severity, developing as a result of immobilization and tension of the caudal spinal cord during periods of accelerated growth of a child with spinal dysraphy, as well as due to scar-adhesive, inflammatory or tumor process.
