Congenital anomalies of the vertebrae in dogs [PDF]

, 2017
In this review article, a overview is given of the congenital pathologies of vertebrae in the dog. These pathologies are common in dogs and can be divided in two major groups: neural tube defects or spinal dysraphism, such as spina bifida with or without

Bilateral Lateral Thoracic Meningoceles: An Unusual Cause of Recurrent Respiratory Infections in a Non‐Syndromic Infant

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Lateral thoracic meningoceles are rare spinal dysraphisms, often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF‐1) and typically diagnosed in adults. Their presentation in infancy without syndromic features is exceptional. We report the case of a 6‐month‐old female infant who presented with failure to thrive and recurrent respiratory infections.

A New Polymer‐Coated Xenogeneic Extracellular Matrix to Prevent Postoperative Adhesion Readily Applicable in the Clinic

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2025.
Postoperative adhesions remain a major challenge in neurosurgery, increasing reoperation risks and complications. This study presents an initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD)‐based polymer coating for dura substitutes, significantly reducing adhesion formation.

The Role of 3D Printed Spine Model in Complex Spinal Deformity Surgery; an Experience With a Case, Technical Notes and Review of the Literature

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Complex spinal deformity in adults, often from neglected congenital deformities, poses surgical challenges. Understanding the 3D anatomy is crucial. A 3D‐printed spinal model aids pre‐operative planning, intra‐operative navigation, and education.

Comparing Folic Acid Interventions and Arsenic Reduction Strategies for Neural Tube Defect Prevention in Bangladesh: A Systematic Review and Decision Analysis

Birth Defects Research, Volume 117, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Maternal intake of folic acid prevents most cases of neural tube defects (NTDs), and arsenic exposure may increase NTD risk. In Bangladesh, where arsenic exposures are high, understanding the potential impacts of arsenic reduction and folic acid‐based interventions can guide decision‐making.

Use of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) in a Neonate with Limited Dorsal Myeloschisis

Journal of Spinal Surgery
Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is a rare form of spinal dysraphism characterized by two constant features: a focal “closed” midline skin defect and a fibro-neural tract connecting the skin lesion to the underlying spinal cord.

Utilization of MRI in Fetal Surgery

iRADIOLOGY, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 191-202, June 2025.
The ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedures, open fetal surgery, fetoscopic surgery, and percutaneous interventions are critical approaches in fetal medicine, particularly for managing complex congenital anomalies. Fetal MRI plays a pivotal role in pre‐procedural planning and real‐time monitoring, ensuring optimal outcomes by providing ...
