Cervicothoracic Kyphosis

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006
Cervicothoracic kyphotic deformity may inhibit horizontal gaze function, impede activities of daily living, and induce disabling pain. Eventually, some patients develop a chin-on-chest deformity that limits their ability to eat and drink; in the end stage, a few patients also may have difficulty breathing.

Postlaminectomy Kyphosis

Spine, 1998
Postlaminectomy kyphosis is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of laminectomy performed to treat cervical myelopathy. The best strategy for prevention is awareness of the sagittal plane before surgery in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Juvenile Kyphosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
Scheuermann's disease is a common cause of kyphosis developing in the juvenile period. Untreated, the deformity may progress, producing significant pain and, rarely, neurologic signs and symptoms. Successful treatment is possible with the Milwaukee brace, provided that the child has not reached skeletal maturity.

Congenital Kyphosis

Spine, 1982
Thirty-four consecutive patients with congenital kyphosis treated surgically between 1971 and 1979 at Boston Children's Hospital were reviewed. Cases were classified into 25 Type I (failure of formation), seven Type II (failure of anterior segmentation), and two Type III (mixed).

Atlantoaxial kyphosis

Der Orthopäde, 2001
Atlantoaxial kyphosis (AAK) is a rare sagittal deformity of the occiptoatlantoaxial junction. It is defined as a subgroup of anterior translatory atlantoaxial instability. AAK is a symptom of several ligamentours or bony disorders of the craniocervical junction; however, rheumatoid arthritis and trauma are the most common causes for AAK.

Congenital Kyphosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
Congenital kyphosis is an uncommon, but potentially devastating anomaly of the spine. Without treatment, the tendency is for severe, and sometimes catastrophic deformity. It is the most common etiology for spinal cord compression due to spine deformity, excluding tuberculosis. Few patients have nonprogressive benign lesions. Late treatment is difficult

Cervical Kyphosis

Spine, 2002
A retrospective study of 13 patients with cervical kyphosis. The authors propose new methods of measuring spinal cord compression and predicting the progression of kyphosis.To ascertain predictive factors for progression of cervical kyphosis and myelopathy.Cervical kyphosis may be congenital, result from decompression surgery, or occur as a ...

Kyphosis

2011
♦ Kyphosis may be a focal deformity limited to a few spinal segments or a more global problem involving the thoraco-lumbar spine♦ The causes are myriad and reflect all the disease processes that affect bone♦ As well as producing pain from disturbed sagittal balance, neurological complications can occur infrequently♦ Conservative treatment in ...

Juvenile kyphosis in pigs

APMIS, 2005
The development of kyphotic lesions in pigs with different weights from herds with a high frequency of the lesion was analysed pathologically, radiologically, and for alkaline phosphatase, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate in blood samples. The development of kyphosis was caused by the formation of ventral hemivertebrae due to the absence of ventral ...
