TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH CAUDAL REGRESSION SYNDROME
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2011.3.56-59
Abstract
The paper presents clinical observation of a patient with a rare congenital malformation of the distal spine and spinal cord – the caudal regression syndrome. The patient showed an absence of the lumbosacral spinal segment with neurological disorders and contractures of the lower extremities. The patient underwent reconstructive vertebral pelvic fusion surgery. Surgical treatment resulted in elimination of the lumbosacral spine instability, correction of kyphotic deformity, and creation of support ability of the spine.
