This largest Asian case series confirms that posterior spinal fusion for SMA scoliosis is safe and effective despite severe deformity and markedly impaired pulmonary function. Meticulous multidisciplinary care, including advanced airway planning, hemodynamic support, blood management, and proactive electrolyte correction, is critical to optimizing ...

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Few studies have investigated nutrition as a primary outcome of disease modifying therapy (DMT) in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This study aimed to describe nutrition outcomes of DMT in children with SMA 1 and 2. Methods Children ≤ 18 years old with SMA 1 or 2 treated with DMTs, and untreated children with SMA 1 were ...

Nusinersen in type 0 spinal muscular atrophy: should we treat?
A male infant affected by type 0 SMA with one copy of SMN2 received early treatment with Nusinersen at the age of 13 days. He showed mild motor improvement 2 months after treatment started but despite also showing some minimal respiratory ...

Abstract After treatment with new disease‐modifying therapies, cognitive and neurodevelopmental aspects have been observed in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Emerging evidence suggests that children with SMA type 1 may experience cognitive, language, and behavioural delays, with reported rates of neurodevelopmental difficulties ranging ...

Utility of Far‐Field Potentials as a Biomarker of Neurodegeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Far field potentials (FFP) have been proposed as a reliable neurophysiological prognostic biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study evaluated the utility of ulnar nerve FFP as a robust research biomarker of lower motor neuron degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
