Cervical hemivertebra deformity
Introduction
Introduction to cervical vertebral deformity Such malformations are rare in the cervical vertebrae, which can be expressed as regular or irregular absence of 1/2 or 2/3 vertebral bodies; residual vertebral bodies can be congenitally fused with the previous vertebral body or the next vertebral body. shape. If the front 2/3 of the vertebral body is absent, the wedge shape can be changed and the cervical vertebrae can be convex. A half-spine wedge on one side can cause cervical scoliosis. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.002% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: urinary incontinence fecal incontinence
Cause
Cervical vertebral deformity
Genetic variation: refers to the sudden heritable variation of genomic DNA molecules. At the molecular level, genetic variation refers to a change in the base pair composition or arrangement order of a gene.
Indiscriminate use of drugs during pregnancy: drugs cannot be abused during pregnancy, and some drugs can cause fetal malformations. Be sure to use it when you need it, and use it under the guidance of your doctor.
Prevention
Cervical vertebral deformity prevention
There is no effective prevention method for this disease. The prognosis depends mainly on the condition. The serious prognosis of the spinal cord is poor. The only prognosis is found only when X-ray examination is performed.
Complication
Cervical vertebral deformity complications Complications, incontinence, incontinence
Can be complicated by incontinence.
Symptom
Symptoms of cervical vertebral deformity Common symptoms Developmental deformity Head and neck activity limitation Cervical segmental abnormal occipital neuralgia
Due to the degree and location of cervical deformity, there may be various clinical symptoms. In addition to the deformity of the cervical vertebrae and limited cervical vertebra activity, spinal neurological symptoms may occur, including pyramidal tract signs and movement disorders, limb numbness, and dysfunction.
Examine
Examination of cervical vertebral deformity
Routine high-quality X-ray positive, lateral radiography should be performed, pay attention to whether the intervertebral disc on the concave side exists, whether the pedicle is clear, and whether the endplate structure of the vertebral body is normal or close to normal. After that, CT or MRI examination is performed as appropriate. In order to determine the state of various local tissues, especially the presence or absence of compression of the spinal cord.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis and diagnosis of cervical vertebral deformity
According to clinical manifestations and X-ray examination, a diagnosis can be established, and if necessary, CT or MRI can be performed.
This disease is generally not confused with other diseases.
