Achondroplasia Foramen Magnum Score: screening infants for stenosis

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2020
BackgroundAchondroplasia is associated with foramen magnum stenosis (FMS) and significant risk of morbidity and sudden death in infants. A sensitive and reliable method of detecting infants who require decompressive surgery is required. This study aims to describe the incidence and severity of FMS in an unselected, sequential series of infants using a ...

Cervicomedullary decompression for foramen magnum stenosis in achondroplasia

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2006
Achondroplasia is the most common hereditary form of dwarfism, and is characterized by short stature, macrocephaly, and a myriad of skeletal abnormalities. In the pediatric population, stenosis and compression at the level of the cervicomedullary junction commonly occurs. The goal in this study was to assess the outcomes in children with achondroplasia

Foramen magnum stenosis from overgrowth of the opisthion in a child with achondroplasia.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics, 2008
Achondroplasia has a known association with foramen magnum stenosis that can result in cervicomedullary compression, which is most often due to a hypertrophied posterior occipital rim and an undersized transverse diameter. The authors present a unique case of a child with achondroplasia with symptomatic craniocervical compression from marked overgrowth

Polysomnography as an indicator for cervicomedullary decompression to treat foramen magnum stenosis in achondroplasia

Child's Nervous System, 2018
Management of cervicomedullary compression due to foramen magnum stenosis in achondroplasia remains controversial, especially for patients with no symptoms or mild symptoms. We examined the effectiveness of polysomnography (PSG) as an indicator for cervicomedullary decompression treatment.We retrospectively reviewed nine achondroplasia cases (mean age ...

Chiari Malformations and Foramen Magnum Stenosis

2018
Chiari types 1 and 2 are congenital hindbrain abnormalities frequently encountered by the pediatric neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon. The entities will be defined and common associated findings discussed. Options for surgical intervention, potential complications, and outcomes will be described in this review.

Best practices in the evaluation and treatment of foramen magnum stenosis in achondroplasia during infancy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2015
Achondroplasia is the most common inherited disorder of bone growth (skeletal dysplasia). Despite this fact, consistent and evidence‐based management approaches to recognized, life‐threatening complications, such as foramen magnum stenosis, are lacking.

Is there a correlation between sleep disordered breathing and foramen magnum stenosis in children with achondroplasia?

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2015
Children with achondroplasia have midface hypoplasia, frontal bossing, spinal stenosis, rhizomelia, and a small foramen magnum. Central sleep apnea, with potential resultant sudden death, is thought to be related to compression of the spinal cord at the cervicomedullary junction in these patients. Screening polysomnography and/or cervical spine MRI are

Early impairment of somatosensory evoked potentials in very young children with achondroplasia with foramen magnum stenosis

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2016
AimTo evaluate the contribution of somatosensory evoked potentials after median nerve (MN‐SEPs) and posterior tibial nerve (PTN‐SEPs) stimulation in functional assessment of cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis in children with achondroplasia.MethodWe reviewed MN‐SEPs, PTN‐SEPs, and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations performed in 58 ...
